Testimonials
“When my partner unexpectedly passed away after 23 years of being together, I felt lost and unsure how to move forward. I had lost my sense of self-identity in the relationship and didn't know my favorite color, only what "our" favorite color was. I wasn't sure if I could survive on my own and became numb, just going through the motions of daily life without truly feeling alive.
When I decided to relocate for a new job, I began hoping for a change in my circumstances and a chance to rediscover myself and my passion for life. During this time, I met Stephanie, who has profoundly impacted my journey of healing and self-discovery. In just a few short sessions, Stephanie was able to help guide me back to my authentic self and start to understand what I wanted out of life.
One of the things that struck me most about Stephanie was her ability to truly understand and relate to what I was going through, even though I had built up walls and defenses to protect myself. Her grace and compassionate approach allowed me to open up and explore my thoughts and feelings, and I began to see a path forward. Stephanie's expertise in the human condition, whether it's through her empathetic nature or her ability to see things from the outside in, has been invaluable in helping me realize that I am stronger than I ever thought possible.
Through Stephanie's guidance, I could find my direction and start living again with purpose and love. In many ways, Stephanie has been instrumental in saving my life and helping me thrive after such a devastating loss. I am forever grateful to her for the support and encouragement she has provided, and I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with grief and seeking a way forward. Stephanie is truly exceptional and I do not doubt that she will be able to help others in the same way that she has helped me.” - R.C.
“Stephanie meets people where they are, gives them a space to be seen and heard, grieve in a way that is true for them and transition with purpose. When I first met Stephanie, it was over a Zoom call. Her way of being with me, inviting me to share and connecting with me, made it clear that she does her own work. Her practice of meeting with others is clearly an extension of her practice of meeting herself and this life, nature, reality and God. The result is that she ends up holding paradoxes like they belong together. I feel more whole and in touch with what’s holy in my life because of her profound presence and skillful spiritual guidance. She will always be a soul friend of mine." - A.S.
“Stephanie is a compassionate listener and I have found that regardless of what topic we meet about she is able to help me look inward to discover what my real desires and intentions are regarding the past and the future. Her ability to laugh with me and embrace all my feelings is invaluable. She put me at ease immediately with her warmth and understanding…She is able to listen with complete openness and help me see what my heart is needing. Through time with her, I've been able to accept the reality of the past, as well as what I need for the future version of myself to be at peace.” - B.P.
