Transformational Mentor, Writer, and Somatic Energy Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healing and transformation

So much of what I have learned has come from my soul deep connection with Nature, Earth wisdom, the intricate cycles and seasons of our lives, and the beauty that is to be found in both the darkness and light in all of those. It’s why I do the work I do!

Welcome, my love. I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m an intuitive, writer, teacher/mentor, somatic energy practitioner, and facilitator for transformation. But most importantly, I’m always a student first. I’ve always been a person who saw and felt the world very deeply. I didn’t always know how to make sense of that, and often felt like I was on the outside looking in.

As a child and a young adult, I experienced a lot of trauma, and I often struggled with self-worth and understanding my place in the world. I went through many steep learning curves that were very costly, but they also provided immense opportunities for transformation to occur. My life, while deeply challenging at times, has offered me a lens of wisdom and compassion that I don’t believe I would have if my life had been different.

I’ve played many roles in my life, worked for years in women’s and children’s advocacy, and I was traditionally trained as a trauma therapist with a specialty in somatic release. In my earlier years (almost 20 years ago), I began exploring somatics and energy work in my own transformational journey and found so much extraordinary healing in that work. Once I connected with the body’s healing capacity, I couldn’t wait to begin incorporating that understanding into the work I was doing with clients. I became trained as a yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner, and along the way found my own unique integrative approach that allowed an innovative transformational quality to the work I was doing with clients, as well as within myself. Those experiences cultivated a deep love for somatic and energy work, and also connected me to deeper intuitive gifts, greater spiritual healing, and my natural connection to Earth-based wisdom. It helped me to understand feminine healing principles, and to gain a greater understanding of who I am in wholeness.

The writings, teachings, and services I offer are in many ways catalysts for transformation to occur, but they are not strict rules, dogma, or absolutes. I do not believe that I am the expert on your life, and support the understanding that YOU are your own wise expert. I am here as both a loving and fierce guide to help you uncover and discover your own unique vision, healing capacity, and wisdom.

My work is heart-centered, and the deep love I have for it (and for each of my clients) is foundationally fueled by my passion and belief that humans have the capacity for extraordinary transformation. We just need to re-remember how to listen to our bodies, our deep wisdom, and our connection to the cycles and seasons of life. Wherever YOU are on your journey is perfect, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.

Genuine connection and relationships are important to me, and my services are personalized to the individual I am working with. It’s important to me that my business remains relational and heart-centered, which is why I offer services at a mutually agreed cost (within reason), with an understanding of the reciprocal energy exchange between us.

Services

Individual Mentoring
$0.00

This process is an innovative and integrative approach based on 25 years of experience working in healing, transformation, and empowerment. I utilize an intuitive approach to focus on the areas that are specifically meaningful to you, combining aspects of mind (thoughts and beliefs), body (somatics and body energetics), and spirit (the individual Soul and spiritual self). We work cooperatively together with your natural wisdom and cycles, balancing shadow-work (healing), integration (transformation), and light-work (creating).

Energy Healing Sessions
$0.00

Past experiences, trauma, stress, anxiety, emotions, and everyday experiences are all held in the cellular memory of the body and in our energetic body. This “energetic body” can become blocked and damaged just as the physical body can, and this creates challenges with our personal well-being and happiness in life. During somatic energy sessions, I utilize an integrative energetic approach including Somatic release ,elements of Reiki (which is an energy healing modality), and Chakra balancing. All these elements are utilized for your unique situation and promote healing, relaxation, wellbeing, and are deeply grounding.

Speaking Engagements
$0.00

I am available on a limited basis for speaking engagements on topics related to my knowledge and expertise.

Small Groups and Workshops
$0.00

Groups and workshops are largely experiential with a blend of creativity and information in areas related to my knowledge and expertise.

  • “Stefanie is a wonderful person and she helped me in so many ways. She is very intuitive, caring and a very good listener. The life transformation I have experienced since working with her has exceeded my expectations. Finding strength, healing and confidence when working with her, I have been able to grow and challenge myself to do things that I honestly never thought possible. The tools she helped me forge are a wonderful asset to have in life, love, work and relationships. Best thing that I can say is that she never changed me, she actually guided me to understanding who I truly am. Thank you forever Stefanie!”

  • I am so very grateful I found Stefanie! Her coaching and reiki sessions are helping me transform to my best self! I love how she customizes each session to what I need at that time. My first reiki experience with her was magical! I originally contacted her because I had a family member pass away and it was traumatic. I was going through deep grieving and started having digestive issues. I was also very depressed and anxious. I knew I needed to heal in many ways and needed more than a therapist. I was so relaxed after my first session and have been feeling more connected and mindful since then. My healing journey has been unfolding beautifully and looking forward to continue working with Stefanie. Thanks for changing my life!
