Our Founder
Gloria Stimatze, RN, BSN
Hello! My name is Gloria, and I am so happy to welcome you to our space!
I am so excited to be returning to the Grand Valley, after living in Africa since 2016, and traveling the world extensively for the last few years. I graduated with my BS in Nursing from CMU back in 2010 and have been passionately advocating for health and wellness ever since. In addition, I became a certified fitness instructor and coach 11 years ago, which allowed me to create a successful personal training business in Angola and connect with people from all over the world.
House of Fenix is born as an idea after my first trip to Bali, where I went for my 200-hour Yoga teacher training, and found a new way of living. Inspired by the Balinese culture and their deep connection to self, gratitude, and celebration of our time on Earth, I began to uncover a new world in which the communication with my body changed. The effect movement has, and the possibilities of using it to heal and recover, was beyond what I could have imagined, and I knew in that moment that sharing these techniques with others was my new mission on Earth.
In 2023, I found Pilates after having abdominal surgery and desperately needing to recover from a complete shutdown of my abdominal muscles. I had tried everything, and it was only after getting on the Reformer, that I was able to rehab my core. Pilates has changed my life and body in ways that I never thought possible, so when I had the opportunity to take over the studio, I didn't hesitate. Combining my two careers and Holistic approach through our studio and practice is a dream come true, and I am so excited to welcome and serve you!
