A former Olympic athlete for Canada and three-time Bronze medalist at Commonwealth Games and Pan American Games, Stephanie retired from sport in 2008 and found a new passion in promoting health and wellness through Pilates.

Stephanie is passionate about improving her client’s overall functional ability and transferring the postures and exercises used in Pilates to improve their activities of daily living. She integrates her knowledge of human movement and training in functional movement screening to help clients suffering from a variety of neurological injuries all the way to those rehabilitating various sporting injuries.
