Hello! My name is Stephanie and I am a Stroller Strides and Strides 360 instructor! I first joined FIT4MOM when I was 9 months postpartum with my daughter Valerie in October 2022. I quickly fell in love with everything about FIT4MOM: it gave me a reason to get out of the house every day with my daughter, spend time outside, be active, and socialize/make friends for both my littles and me! I believe it has everything you need to really prioritize your physical, mental, and overall well-being!

I first became a mom to 4 year old boy named Collin when I fell in love with his dad. Now I’ve been married to my husband for 3.5 years, my stepson is 10 (!), and we have (almost) 2 little girls of our own, Valerie who is 2, and a baby girl due in August 2024! Being a mom is my favorite thing in the world and I absolutely love being in this mom group for support and solidarity.

Outside of FIT4MOM, I have been a nurse for almost 5 years, first as an adult ICU RN and now as a Labor and Delivery nurse. Other things I am passionate about include my Catholic faith, fitness and core health, family, and all things motherhood (pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and just all the mom things). As a family, we love camping, exploring national parks, hiking, going to Disneyland, but also spending a lot of time at home together. I can talk your ear off about any of these things and love making new mom friends! I can’t wait to get to know more of you in class!
