A little about Stefanie….

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!

Hello, love!

I am a woman who walks through the world with wonder. I find immense meaning in everyday small experiences of beauty and my connection to others and life.

I have experienced extraordinary challenges in my own life and have discovered wisdom, strength, and compassion through my own healing and transformation, and also in the journeys I have walked with hundreds of other beautiful beings as they discover their own capacity for transformation. My services, writings, and teachings are reflections and gifts offered to me on my own journey, and sharing and offering them to others is my gift back to life, and also one of the greatest joys and passions of my life.

We often walk through life having experienced deeply painful, traumatic, and heartbreaking situations that leave us with a sense of not knowing who we are anymore. Sometimes we carry those burdens an entire lifetime, somehow believing that we are “too much” or “not enough”, and that we have no safe space to share and unravel our stories. I’m here to remind you that your past and your experiences are not who you ARE. You are not “wrong”, broken, or wounded beyond repair. You may simply be breaking open so that the wounded spaces within you can receive the healing and love they deserve. We have the immense capacity to heal and transform, and allowing ourselves to FEEL and reconnect with ourselves in a safe space brings us back to life. I’m here to be a fiercely loving space-holder for your unique wisdom to reveal itself.

I was traditionally trained as a trauma therapist specializing in somatic release, and found exceptional benefits for clients in incorporating innovative paths through my understanding of body energetics and somatics as a yoga teacher and Reiki/energetic practitioner. Much of my life’s work has been with child survivors of abuse and crime, unhoused women and children, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and those challenged by substance use.

In the work that I do in this space, I bring in the knowledge and wisdom from my own life, the many roles I have walked with others, and the understanding of what brings the greatest long-term transformation. I believe that YOU are the expert of your own life, not me, and that you should always be in the driver’s seat of the journey we travel together in our sessions.

In all of my sessions I offer a space of love and acceptance, balanced with the capacity to see where being challenged is required for transformation to occur. Seeing others succeed is one of my greatest joys, and I would be honored to walk with you on your own unique journey, wherever you may be.

In my personal life I have many passions and enjoy reading, writing, painting, photography, and cooking. I’m a wild outdoors woman and have five deeply spoiled furry friends. I live in the middle of nowhere and am often found gardening barefoot, cooking over an open fire, or rehabbing wildlife.

You can check out my writings and reflections HERE, and access additional wisdom and teachings for free on my YouTube channel. If you are interested in working one-on-one with me, please visit the Services tab.

Love, Beauty, and Abundance to you!
