Dr. Andromeda Stevens, D.C. became a Doctor of Chiropractic in LA, CA and has been in practice for over 25 years. She became a D.C. because she was inspired by her own scoliosis condition. Her practice specializes in scoliosis using the Schroth Method and is Level II certified by Dr. Hans R. Weiss (the grandson of Schroth) as one of very few certified in the US in the original method.
Andromeda was introduced to Pilates in the early 90’s and was so inspired that she became a Pilates Method Alliance Gold Certified Teacher™ (13657 PMA# OR 10112 NPCT#). The profound results with her patients, as well as the inability to find quality Pilates Instructors for the Studio, led her to co-found in 2000 with Kelli Altounian in Los Angeles, The Pilates Sports Center Pilates Teacher Training Program, the Burn at the Barre Teacher Training Program and the Pilates Master Teacher Program with the mission of providing the highest standard of excellence in Pilates education.
