Stefanie M
Instructor
Stefanie began her Pilates journey in 2001 to condition for martial arts. It built up her body quickly and enabled her to spar coed. She continued to take Pilates mat classes and private equipment sessions. In the back of her mind, she knew Pilates would be a second career. Stefanie graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.S. in Industrial Engineering and worked internationally on various IT projects for 19 years. The prospect of Pilates as a second career appeared to go away after a debilitating back injury that required years of physical therapy. Pilates was key to rebuilding her body to become stronger than her martial arts days and to learning the value of proper functional movement. In 2016, Stefanie was able to transition to teaching Pilates full-time and enjoys sharing her knowledge with others. Stefanie is comprehensively certified, pre and postnatal certified, and National Pilates certified.
