Welcome, Iā€™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.

 

Throughout my life dance has been a way to fully express my creativity through my body and to feel the the sheer JOY of that expression from the inside out.

Being with horses has always been a deep sensory experience that calls me into a grounded, focused presence and instinctual power. My relationship with horses in many ways affirms what my body knows on a deep cellular level which is just how much as human beings we are speaking to one another thorough non verbal communication - animal body to animal body. Horses also continually call me back into my connection with the larger web of life and the more that human world.

My childhood passions became the threads I have followed towards the calling of my adult life: somatic coaching and embodied transformation.                                          

My work is a synthesis of my personal passions and my professional study in the domains of psychology, somatic coaching and bodywork. I have received somatic training through the Strozzi Institute for Somatics and Somatic Experiencing. I am a certified PCC level coach through the International Coach Federation and am full time faculty at the Strozzi Institute for Somatics where I teach for both the somatic coach certification program and somatic bodywork courses.

When I am not teaching for the Strozzi Institute, I offer individual somatic coaching and somatic bodywork sessions as well as run online groups and classes focused on somatic coach development, embodied communication skills and embodied leadership skills (read: reminders of how to be a human being at work) needed in the digital age.

My work is a commitment to supporting coaches, leaders, healers, and change makers in connecting with what they really care about and translating that passion and purpose into consistent actions in alignment with their vision and values. I believe that when we as individuals heal and transform we are better able to coordinate with others to effect meaningful systemic change towards a healthier and more equitable life for all beings.

I look forward to supporting you along your path towards living your vision, passion and purpose.
