OH HEY! I'M STEPH KENNY!

If we haven’t met yet, I’m a Pilates instructor based in Melbourne (for now). With over 5 years of experience, I’ve recently completed a Diploma in Clinical Pilates, enabling me to specialise in injury rehabilitation & mobility training in a clinical setting.​ This year, I’m combining my Pilates expertise with my 5 years as a travel agent at Flight Centre to create transformative Pilates & wellness retreats. Armed with a Certificate IV in Tourism & hands-on travel planning experience, I’m curating immersive retreats in breathtaking locations.

​

In 2025, I’ll be hosting retreats in Bali & local breath taking Estates. I’ve personally visited these destinations to ensure every detail reflects the essence of rejuvenation & connection.​ Over the past 5 years, my business has thrived on collaboration, creating meaningful spaces, & meeting like-minded individuals. Now, I’m taking it international. Can't wait to meet you & do the work with you!

THE JOURNEY TO TRANSFORMING MY WELLNESS THROUGH
PILATES & TRAVEL

My passion for helping others has been part of me since childhood—my parents still share stories of me lending a hand to hospitality staff at restaurants. My love for travel peaked when I was 22, working as a travel agent. I thrived in that role, achieving goals, winning familiarisation trips, & indulging my travel addiction with all-expenses-paid holidays. I even took out loans to fund more adventures (LOL). But that lifestyle wasn’t sustainable, & at 23, I had a major wake-up call. The late night partying, constant travel, & neglecting my health finally caught up with me.​ As a former dancer, I had always been in tune with my body, knowing what felt good & what didn’t. That awareness helped me reconnect with self-compassion during a challenging period when I developed epilepsy, triggered by a fall after a late night out. Managing this health condition while working & traveling became a priority.

 

Even as I navigated my 20s—dating, making lifelong friendships, & creating lasting memories— I learned firsthand that travel is one of the most powerful ways to unite people & create joy shifting into new vibrational states of being.​ During this time, I started dancing again, hitting the gym, & dabbling in Pilates. Slowly but surely, my health began to return. It wasn’t until I embraced a holistic approach that I saw significant improvement. I definitely don't have all the answers but coming from a place of unwell & transmuting into how I live intentionally & old purpose today I love hearing other peoples stories & joining that in community - This will be the pure essence of 'Showing up at The Source KPG'.

A TURNING MOMENT -
A DEFINING MOMENT

In 2020, everything changed. I lost my job & a close circle of friends. At the time, it felt like my world was falling apart. Looking back, I see it was all falling into place. I was forced to show up for myself.​ I took solo trip up the coast, spending the government JobSeeker payments towards towns recovering from devastating fires. It felt good to contribute to something bigger than myself. I also delved into journaling, meditation, coaching & moving my body in new ways. Deep down, I sensed a big shift coming—a change in my career & the world as I knew it. That’s when I took the leap & became a full-time Pilates instructor.

 

The past five years have been anything but smooth sailing (to say otherwise would be a crock of @#$%! haha). But I wake up every day living & breathing my purpose, & for that, I count my lucky stars. Witnessing the transformative power of movement in people’s lives has fuelled my mission to go beyond the studio.  Pilates serves me so well, & when I run classes they are fun, technique filled & very strong to really assist in building greatness to each individual I meet. I felt called to create something more—a unique combination of wellness & travel that brings people together while empowering them to rediscover their best selves.

Thank you so much for your care in making what was Uluru the most amazing experience.  It was really important that I trusted someone who shared the same values as me (to be present with travel, to enjoy the juiciness that comes from connection, adventure & play, spiritual moments of awe) & you delivered that & more. Your attention to detail was unmatched. I get anxious when I travel because there is so much to  juggle but with you, the experience was so easeful. Your energy kept us excited the whole time & you also held space to meet us where we were in each moment. I would absolutely be in your travel containers in the future & I am so excited for what’s to come. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
