Stephanie began her pole journey back in 2011 when she, her sister & their friend signed up for classes after attending a hens party at the studio and has never looked back!!

To Stephanie, pole was the perfect way to have fun, get fit and to condition and strengthen her core after having several abdominal surgeries.

Though she had no prior dance or gymnastics training, Stephanie found she was a natural with dance and flexibility and started forming her love for all things Pole!

Fast forward to 2015 and Stephanie was dancing (both on and off the pole) in several music videos and events and in 2016 began performing and competing as a solo pole artist at both state and national level under the stage name ‘Spliterella’.

This same year, she was featured in the Australian Pole Dancers magazine as a ‘pole warrior’ and was selected as an ambassador for the ‘Pole Just Because’ campaign.

Before their hiatus in mid-2017, Stephanie also made up one-half of the professional pole duo ‘Vertical Vixens’.

Stephanie began instructing in January of 2017 and loves spin pole, floorwork and dance, plus stretch and strength training. She also loves teaching her ‘signature splits’, ‘doubles pole’ and ‘Floor & Flow’ workshops.

In 2018, Stephanie placed 1^st RU at the Victorian Pole Championships and was selected as a national finalist for the Australian Pole Championships final in Sydney. These events have taken Stephanie into the Semi-pro/Professional division.

When she’s not at the pole studio she can be found at the hospital where she is completing her PhD in Medicine.
