Hello Oceanside Community!!
​

​
A little about me...
​
I am the Owner/Head Coach here at Oceanside Gymnastics Academy. We have been in operation Since January 2021. I have been on the island for almost 7 years now.
​
I grew up in Ontario and got involved in gymnastics at the age of three. After climbing all over the house, up to the highest branches and swinging on the monkey bars and climbing goal posts' scaring my mother half to death, she signed me up for gymnastics (so I had a safe place to explore). Well, let me tell you, I was hooked! You couldn't beg or bribe me to leave, I loved it that much! The thrill of jumping on the trampoline, balancing on the highest beams and flipping around the gym was exactly my niche. The feeling of determination when you just can't get it right but wont give up. The friends you laugh, cry and cheer with. The adrenaline rush of competing and the overwhelming emotions you get when you finally get that skill you've worked soo hard for. That...that is what I want to share with the world, more specifically our youth. Those feelings shaped who I am and my outlook on life and sports as I know them today. I am thankful, everyday, I had the opportunity to train in a sport I was so passionate about and wouldn't have changed a thing; the blood, sweat or tears....it was all worth it!
​
My name is Stephanie. I am a fully certified level 2 Artistic and Trampoline Coach with a background in both gymnastics and Dance. I competed provincially all over Ontario, attending 5-6 competitions a year from the age of 8-18. I have travelled all over Canada and even to California to compete. I attended a Performing Arts School for Dance where I established my love for choreography. I have curated numerous group dances that have been showcased at competitions and festivals. I have now been coaching over 20 years and have had the pleasure of teaching many children, not only the sport of gymnastics, but to be proud of who they are and what they are capable of.
​
I look forward to meeting each and everyone of you and building strong relationships with the families in this community. I am excited to continue my love of coaching gymnastics and sharing that passion with your children.
​
Kind regards,
​
Stephanie
