Barby began teaching in 1995 after obtaining certification from the Physicalmind Institue. In 1996, she developed the Dance Body Conditioning program at the University of Oklahoma where she worked closely with dancers, athletes, and others on campus for seven years. Her desire to work more personally with individuals of the community and share her knowledge of injury prevention and restorative functional movement to the physically challenged, inspired the opening of Pilates Plus in October of 2001.

Deborah began Pilates in 1998 because of chronic back pain and a high stress level at work. After immediately discovering the benefits of Pilates, Deborah was inspired to pursue her Pilates certificate. Having successfully completed Pilates certificate training at Core Dynamics, Inc. in Santa Fe, New Mexico she began teaching at Pilates Plus in May 2003. Deborah "loves to get people addicted to Pilates."
