Stacey Sloan

Stacey was introduced to Pilates in 2006 when she was recovering from a series of injuries and quickly recognized the healing benefits of the method. As a Physical Therapy Assistant, she felt that Pilates was an important addition to her repertoire. In 2013, Stacey completed her comprehensive training with Polestar Pilates followed by Oov Fundamentals and Oov + the Pilates Apparatus coursework in 2018. She enjoys helping her clients feel strong and prepared for life, sports, and outdoor adventures. Stacey excels at reducing and eliminating low back pain individuals of all ages and fitness abilities. If you are looking to improve your comfort and mechanics on the golf course, that is a specialty of Stacey's as well as rotational sports like tennis and pickleball.
