Stella started her career as an Equestrian Coach & then went on to become a Personal Trainer, after completing a Diploma in Fitness Training at Auckland University of Technology in 2008. She discovered her real passion was Pilates & became an Instructor with Polestar Pilates, one of the leading globally recognised contemporary schools of Pilates.

Stella has witnessed incredible transformations in clients & the amazing effect this had on their daily lives.
Stella loves to visit international studios to keep up to date with the Pilates & Fitness Industry. She has attended classical & contemporary studios in Barcelona, Amsterdam, Sydney, San Francisco, Los Angeles & New York. In 2017 Stella moved to London where she continued to broaden her work experience in studios whilst training in the classical Pilates method. She felt its was important as a contemporary trained instructor to have a deep knowledge of the original system created by Joseph Pilates. She spent time undertaking teacher training at a Romana's Pilates studio & had the opportunity to observe & train with international master Instructors. She looks forward to continuing this training in Auckland & Sydney.
