testimonials

“My work with Stephanie has been eye-opening. It’s both personal and professional and completely inspiring. Together, we are digging deeper into understanding what I really want to build within my company and how I want to contribute to the world. That sounds lofty, but it really is a collaborative process. Stephanie asks me insightful questions and stays curious about areas that might feel uncomfortable, She is helping me gain clarity and insight into where I want to be directing my business. She is super curious and attentive and present. We never know where things are going to lead or how they will evolve during our discussions, but every time I leave a session, I feel like I am digging a bit deeper into my core values and mission. I can’t wait for my next session.”

In every meeting, we each shared our professional and personal struggles, our challenges and triumphs, our reflections on our own state of mind. Stephanie was an amazing listener who reflected back to us our words and our frames of reference, and gently probed and challenged, while solidly supporting us. She shone a bright light on many things and illuminated them wonderfully. I had a number of profound insights about myself, about how I think and how I interpret others and communicate with others. As a result of working with Stephanie, I am now aware of my inner critic and I am learning how to think and communicate in different ways. Stephanie has helped me develop as a leader, and given me valuable new perspectives on my relationships.

Stephanie’s work is transformational. The work can be hard, but she gently carries you throughout the process so that by the end of the sometimes emotional road you’ve gone down, you’re left feeling lighter and full of possibility because she’s asked you to see your work and the world in a new way. She makes it easy to be transparent. Thanks to her ability to dig inside my brain and expose some negative thoughts that weren't real, I've been filled with so much newfound positive energy. Just after one week of finishing her group, I've had some new opportunities come to me. Maybe it was a coincidence, but the way I responded to them with openness and curiosity was not coincidental, it was all because of my work with Stephanie.

“Rather than lead me around by the nose, or tell me what to do, Stephanie and I partner as a team in our sessions. She encourages me to examine old methods that don’t work anymore. Deftly, she knows when to urge me along, pause for reflection, or slow down so I can take notice of what surrounds me. Old tapes are being re-recorded and new ways of looking at my work. As a woman, who in her own life stepped out into the void, Stephanie speaks from experience, walks the walk, and knows firsthand how scary change can be. But she never let fear stop her. I always look forward to our sessions — from coast to coast — as I know by the time we hang up, I will be closer to reaching my potential. “

“In working with Stephanie, I was shocked at how quickly I was able to move past mindsets and beliefs that have held me back for decades. She is completely present and able to sift through everything I’m throwing at her and reflect back on my meaning. She’s totally non-judgmental and makes the experience feel completely productive, especially when I’m feeling vulnerable. She steers me in a direction that has brought me clarity, understanding, and optimism for where I’m trying to go. ”

When I was at a serious crossroad of “can’t keep going the same way anymore” and “can’t figure out where to go next”, Stephanie and this workshop was a balm. By learning and reflecting with Stephanie’s insightful and compassionate guidance, I was able to reconnect with my confidence, strength and intuition. Being “comfortable in the chaos” is something I have learned to value instead of drowning it out with activity.  Her coaching style is unique and transformative. Her ability to eke out our internal wisdom was a pretty powerful. If you’re at a crossroads, working with Stephanie is an enlightening and powerful next step.

During our meetings, Stephanie was an expert catalyst for tapping into the depths of experiencing our present state and our goals, individually and collectively. In my case being accompanied by "creativeness" and creative professionals. The goal to bring awareness and ultimately an understanding of where each of us are at the moment and where we envision moving towards has led me to the next part of my professional path. Organically the team morphed into a support system and an inspiring force. Each group meeting was powerful, challenging, a bit scary and ultimately exciting and supportive.

When I first started working with Stephanie’s I wished to find a different perspective for my current space in my life and in being a women and my business. I found more that I could have imagined. She welcomes you with all her heart and honores your being wherever and whoever you are. She showed us our strength through our vulnerabilities. Being with those wonderful, talented, clever and strong women togather with Stephanie’s compassionate wisdom showed me how I can heal myself. I felt home and safe with her and with my new dear friends. I saw through the lenses of all of these wise women that we are multi dimensional, limitless beings and we are more than enough for what life brings to us. Thank you Stephanie and the women in my group for showing this to me. My heart will always be with you.
