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 and embody my creative energy—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.
