Welcome, I’m Stephanie.

For as long as I can remember, the two things that bring me most alive and in connection with LIFE have been: dancing and horses.

 

From an early age, dance became a way to express my full creativity—joyfully and unapologetically—from the inside out.

My lifelong bond with horses deepened my understanding of the language that is spoken beyond words. In their presence, I remembered what my body already knew: that we are communicating all the time—animal body to animal body. Horses called me into a deeper relationship with presence, instinct, and the larger web of life.

These formative experiences shaped the path I walk today: a vocation in somatic coaching, embodied leadership, and transformational practice.

My work is a synthesis of decades of personal exploration and professional study in psychology, body-based healing, and somatics. I’m a certified PCC coach through the International Coach Federation, trained in Somatic Experiencing, and a longtime student and now full-time faculty member at the Strozzi Institute for Somatics, where I teach both the Somatic Coach Certification Program and Somatic Bodywork courses.

When I’m not teaching, I support coaches, leaders, and changemakers through 1:1 somatic coaching and bodywork, as well as lead online programs focused on:

  • Somatic coach development

  • Embodied communication

  • Embodied leadership in the digital age (or what I like to call: remembering how to be human at work)

My commitment is to walk alongside those who are here to make a difference. I support people in coming home to their deepest values, reclaiming their full body intelligence (mind, heart, and instinct), and taking bold, aligned action in service of a more just, life-affirming world.

If you’re ready to lead from wholeness, I’d be honored to support your path.
