As a classically trained ballet dancer, movement has always been an integral part of Stephanie’s life. Stephanie was born and raised in Ventura County and danced with the Channel Islands Ballet Company. She received her B.S. in Business Management in 2001 from Humboldt State University where she assisted in the university’s dance department. After graduation Stephanie returned home to Ventura County.
While working full time Stephanie turned to Pilates as her form of exercise. The precise, choreographed flow of exercises meshed well with her dance roots and she was hooked. Stephanie received her comprehensive Pilates Certification from Body Arts and Science International (BASI) in 2006. She also received her certification in pre/post-natal Pilates from the Center for Women’s Fitness in 2007. Stephanie resides in Oxnard with her husband.
“When I’m practicing Pilates there is nothing else. Just being there in the moment and in the movement centers your body and soul. Being able to share this experience with others is my privilege.”
