Steffie combines her creativity with a strong love of Pilates. After studying at the Rietveld Academie, she worked for many years as a graphic designer and art director.
A vertebral fracture and a later diagnosis of osteoporosis brought her to Pilates in 2021. She discovered how mindful, controlled movement could support her recovery. By rebuilding step by step, she eventually became stronger than before her accident.
With osteoporosis, not every exercise is always possible, and patience matters. For Steffie, Pilates shows the body's resilience when movement is approached with precision and respect for personal limits.
The Polestar® mat programme gives her the opportunity to turn that experience into knowledgeable guidance. For her, mat Pilates is about the foundations: working without equipment calls for attention to technique, body awareness and control, returning to the essentials of movement.
Steffie puts attention, technique and enjoyment at the heart of her classes. She values seeing participants leave with more energy, confidence and a sense of space in their bodies.
