Testimonials

When I first started working with Stephanie, I was struggling with conflicts between my daughter and my boyfriend. For two years, I had been pretending that everything was fine, but the stress was taking a toll on me. My daughter was suffering and I didn't know how to help her.

She wouldn’t express her feelings to me; she wasn’t close to me; she wouldn’t trust me.

I came from a culture that sees women as second-class citizens and we are told we should rely on men and please them. This idea has always been playing on the back of my mind and that was playing out in my relationship, too. I thought I needed someone to protect me. I felt insecure and I didn’t trust my own abilities.

Stephanie taught me to trust myself and my intuition. That was key to me. I learned to listen to my heart and finally had the courage to confront my boyfriend about the future of our relationship. In the end, I chose to put my daughter first and prioritize her well-being.

Stephanie also worked with me to help me connect with my body and overcome stress, fears and my panic attacks. She helped me stay present and take control of my body during stressful situations.

Recently, a stressful situation triggered my panic attack again, but I felt so calm and was able to stop it in two minutes. It would had taken 20 minutes before.

What sets Stephanie apart from other professionals I had worked with is her genuine care for me. She goes above and beyond to find solutions and share resources to help me.

Stephanie is full of energy. When I was with her, I felt calm and safe. I felt energized and motivated. Every time I talked to her, I discovered something new about myself.

After working with Stephanie, my relationship with my daughter improved greatly. We are much closer now. She gives me hugs all the time, and she expresses love for me every night. That is enough for me.

It’s good to be a parent; it’s a blessing. We have more power and courage when we are with our child. You give them unconditional love. When you love someone so deeply, you don’t expect anything in return.

Stephanie also helped me see that as an immigrant, I can be successful in this country.

I used to stand on a hill and didn’t know where I was. Now I’m on the top of the hill, and I can see my future very clearly. I know I can create whatever I want in my life.

I have finally found myself. I am enough.

If you're considering working with Stephanie, I highly recommend it. She is brilliant and truly cares about helping her clients. It's a worthwhile investment.

Stephanie has helped me greatly improve my strategies to effectively engage in self-care having gone through her mindfulness coaching and TRE therapy, she was able to help me identify my personal stressors, from which she formed a personalized regimen to help bring myself in to balance in a holistic manner.

As I continue to cope with recovery from PTSD (from watching a parent pass), as well as extreme work stress, I have definitely noticed an improvement in my ability to identify triggers, acknowledge them for what they are, and shift my mindset to a healthier frame of thought so that I can effectively apply the actionable coping strategies learned in her sessions.

Finally, she is a superb public / motivational speaker, as I have witnessed many times in our Toastmasters club and high performance coaching class - she lights up any room in which she stands!

I highly recommend Stephanie for anyone seeking to truly heal themselves in mind, body, and spirit. She is truly gifted at empathizing and connecting with people at a spiritual and emotional level, and it is an absolute privilege to work with her.

Stephanie is an astounding coach! I say this as a business coach myself with lots of experience in many facets of business.

Her strength: getting to root issues and encouraging them out and allowing you to address them. When I was in the midst of my session, I found myself unthinkingly opening up without thinking about it. Stephanie made me feel comfortable and our conversation flowed as I went down discovery lane to areas I had forgotten that certainly had challenging impacts on my life because I had not dealt with these issues.

These kinds of conversations are highly personal and individualized so I will say that Stephanie is not only talented at uncovering areas of potential growth and opportunity but she allows the freedom for you to choose direction and action.

I give Stephanie as high a rating as I can possibly give. She brought results to my doorstep and now it's my job to take it from here. Thank you, Stephanie!

“Stephanie has a highly personalized approach. She identified my pain points very quickly, zeroed in on them and got laser focus on the work we needed to do. We dived deep. She guided me to explore a challenging issue that I have been facing all my life.

I felt disturbed initially in my conversation with Stephanie because she asked questions about topics that I didn’t want to talk about. Sometimes there are things that you don’t want to be reminded of. But you can’t pretend there is no fire and dance around it, pretending everything is good. That’s not realistic.

Stephanie is an active listener. She doesn’t let a person circle around the same topic. She helped me take a pause, identify what is holding me back, refocus my effort and gave me the courage to go for what is ahead of me. This is a big help because from time to time, I have doubts about my vision.

Stephanie is very smart and versatile. She has working experiences in multicultural environments and adjusts to who she’s talking to quickly which is important to me because I also worked for a number of years in my home country of France and in the United Kingdom. She was able to grasp quickly all the nuisances and different things that I am going through. She also brings in a lot of fresh perspectives that are different from what I usually hear.

She has a perfect blend between a business coaching and a personal coaching. That is important because those two are interrelated. It brings better results when you work on both together. Sometimes you feel stuck in a tunnel, but Stephanie helped me see the light.

After coaching with her, I feel more positive about my plan. She gave me the courage to go all out for my dream and vision.

Stephanie is not someone who gives you gas when your car needs it. She is someone who travels alongside you and is committed to making sure your car is well maintained and run smoothly along the way. Working with Stephanie is not like taking a short vacation, it's a journey and a nice one! I highly recommend hiring her as your coach.”

"Once in a while, in a chance occurrence, you get to meet someone who made such a deep impression. I had the chance to meet Stephanie two years ago when our children attended the same school. It didn't take long before we connected. I found Stephanie to have such a personable quality.

As we got to speak further, I found out that she's also someone with a deep introspection. I wasn't at all surprised to learn that Stephanie is a life coach because it would come across as the most natural thing for her. It wasn't long before we began to engage into more in-depth talks, I found that I was able to gain more knowledge and clarity of what I was going though with my personal challenges and become more empowered with Stephanie's genuine support.

Through our personal coaching sessions, I was also able to push forward and have the courage to make what I thought was impossible happen. Stephanie's inquiry, listening skills and encouragement is invaluable. Over time, she's become my confidant -- someone whom I trust and go to for exponential inner growth.

I am truly blessed our paths have crossed.”

-- Noreen PH, Texas.

"Stephanie's deep care, attentiveness, and continuous checking in between my sessions with her have been a tremendous support. I could viscerally feel her compassion, creativity, and commitment to help me heal in each session.

Her skillful guidance with TRE and other modalities to help move the fears, knots, and burdens stuck in my body have created more ease and freedom in my system."

— Rabbi Moshe Givental, Michigan.

“Working with Stephanie has been such a transformative experience. As I build my business, she has been by my side encouraging a shift on consciousness. Stephanie listens deeply and hears things I didn’t even realize I mentioned. She is a patient, trustworthy, and insightful guide. Working with her has given me a greater sense of purpose and confidence.”

— Janet Freudenberg, New York.

"Stephanie is a great listener and helps me see a clear career path forward. She understands the common issues faced by young professionals, such as peer pressure, insecurities, and the urge to pursue something higher. After talking to her, I felt empowered to make career decisions that better align with my values. She guided me to follow my inner voice and not to be held back by external and mental factors."

— Lynda Yang, a journalist in New York

“Stephanie helped me release the toxic energy in my body with Reiki treatments. She led her yoga classes with compassion and they helped me connect with myself in a seamless flow of restorative poses. Never have I had a teacher with that kind of smooth flows in my 35 years of practicing yoga. I experienced a meditative state in the classes that she taught.”

— Lisa Abercrombie, creative arts therapist, New York.

Stephanie's abilities as a Reiki healer are profound. She created in me the ability to contact my Chakra system — a pillar of power. She is the real deal!

— Lynn Singer, voice teacher, New York.

“I know Stephanie as a restorative yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner, and have seen how deeply and gratefully students and clients respond to her. Stephanie’s extensive training and life experiences, combined with her intuitive nature and innate kindness, make her a gifted healer. She is also a compassionate, empathetic listener. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Stephanie as a coach will be extremely fortunate.”
