Fizzy, wife and mother of two beautiful girls, has always had a passion for dancing. As soon as she discovered pole dance fitness, she knew she wanted to pursue something further with it. She found the art-form beautiful, the strength intriguing, and the workout of it all fun! The confidence brought forth constantly enhances with endless growth, and she would love to introduce and share with Spokane, WA the benefits this wonderful art has to offer! ​ Fizzy's background in pole all started one day in 2008 when she was working at a club and saw a performer and was taken aback by the beauty. Although working at the club was short lived at that time because she ended up having to move over to the coast for 2 1/2 years, she could never get pole off her mind ever since and was always drawn to it.  At the end of 2010, she moved back to Spokane and started working at a bar that had professional dancers and was ignited again by that underlying pole passion she always felt deep down. She started googling videos and really saw the diversity in styles and just fell absolutely in love with all aspects of it! During this time, her first bun was in the oven and was unable to fully take pole dancing on like she would have really loved to do. She didn't even have a clue of where to buy a pole, so after closing the bar at night she would get on stage and play around a little.  ​ After asking around and trying to look on the internet for where to get a pole, she finally got her own pole in her home in 2012, although it was just a novelty pole. She started learning moves from YouTube, and because it was just a novelty pole, she was only able to spin in one direction. For those who don't know much about poles, like herself at the time, novelty poles are not the best quality poles and are only really meant for walking around. She searched Spokane for local classes but could never find any. She became a professional dancer just for the sake of being able to dance on the pole on stage. She always found more joy in pole with being able to share it with others. When her friends would come over, she would try to get them on the pole. She discontinued dancing professionally but still always had a love for pole and continued to dance at home.  ​ Fizzy continued to search for a place to learn in Spokane and was still not able to find anything. So, the journey of only dancing at home went on. Until one day everything changed! ​ Fizzy was a stay at home mom and was unsure of what she really wanted in life. One birthday, she made a really cool cake for her now husband and decided that she was going to pursue a career in cake decorating since she found joy in it. She YouTubed videos on how to make fondant and figurines and started making cakes for everyone's birthday while she awaited the professional baking program at Spokane Community College. She even started making cakes to make a little money. Looking back, it was a start to where she really wanted to be.  ​ News finally came that she'd be starting the baking program, but all at the same time of being blessed with the ability to buy a home and land that needed to be developed. So, the first quarter of school she would wake up, go to school for 6 hours, pick her daughter up afterwards, go to her new property and work until dark, go back to her current home, and get up the next day to do it all over again. Living out of boxes all quarter due to moving at the same time, she was thankful to have the summer off school. The summer was filled with continuing to do things for the new home and developing land.  ​ The journey of opening her pole studio all started when a fellow colleague planted the seed. While attending SCC in 2014 for the professional baking program to pursue cake decorating, a conversation ignited during the last quarter of the program about what she truly had a passion for in life. Fizzy always desired to be a pole instructor. She also finally purchased a better pole (XPole) at this time.  ​ The dream seemed farfetched and impossible considering Fizzy couldn't even find a single pole fitness studio in Spokane to attend classes at. She had no idea where to start. The fellow colleague asked Fizzy why she didn't just create her own studio. Her response was because she had no clue how to even do that! That's when the discussion of the general business program at SCC got introduced. ​ Fizzy met up with a school counselor to further look into the program, and launched with her dream! Ecstatic ever since, the opening of the studio came after an immense amount of hard work, studying, research, and training. Fizzy couldn't be more excited to help share with other people what brings her so much joy! ​ Fizzy had been on the journey to open Soul Magik Studios since the beginning of 2015. She completed her first program with a Professional Baking Certificate at the beginning of 2015 and went straight into her business program. Her second child was also underway during this time and she did a year of online classes until her youngest was a year old. Finishing the remainder of her program on campus, she completed her AAS in general business with honors in June of 2017 and continued in mapping out the final details of the studio, as well as getting pole instructor certified.  ​ Since opening, Fizzy has competed in Pole Sport Organization (PSO) competitions, placing various times in various categories. She has helped an array of students compete & plans to continue to compete & help others compete. Fizzy has also always been drawn to performing and has been performing with the Victress Voices, around Spokane, Montana & Idaho for different festivals & events, her own studio & has also performed with Snoop Dog, Cordell Drake, Lyndsay Lee, Jaeda Templeton, Crystal Marie Aragon, Dria Tha Gr8, T Dodger, & Savvy Saved (Savvy Rae). ​ Fizzy has taken online courses and designed the studio in a way of what she would want personally as someone looking to learn. She is extremely open to learning the needs and wants of her customers and continues to attempt to make the studio a fun and accepting place for everyone. Her focus is to get people to find the joy and passion in their own unique pole journey. Everyone's pole journey is unique and different. Expressing yourself feels good and expressing them dancing on a pole is a healthy way to release emotions. Not only does it benefit individuals by releasing those emotions, others get to see that beauty!
