DiStefano

Laura
is the owner and operator of The Pilates Studio: Body & Mind
Works. She was first introduced to Pilates through her dance training
at the University of Calgary and was struck by the longreaching
benefits of Pilates. She pursued a dance career in the early 90's
which focused on comtemporary dance and jazz dance. Her dancing
ventures brought her to Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal,
Massachusetts and Italy. It was during her stay in Montreal that
she once more connected with Pilates and decided to pursue her
full Pilates certification, which she received in 1996 through
Katrin Schaake Atelier Santé: Body and Mind Control in
Montreal. Wanting to further her knowledge of the body, she became
a registered massage therapist in 1999, and continues to enjoy
massaging on a part-time basis. Laura recently furthered her studies
of Pilates by attending an intensive offered by Master trainers
Amy Alpers and Rachel Seigel at The Pilates Center in Boulder,
Colorado (Jan. '07). Laura enjoys working with beginners and seeing
the joy of people connecting to their bodies. She also enjoys
the challenge of working with people limited by injuries and other
conditions. She has had tremendous success in helping these clients
reclaim their lives. |

their optimal performance, and all those seeking to discover the
mental and physical strength, flexibility and balance that Pilates
