ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Stephanie! 

I AM A PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT COACH, TRAUMA COACH & HEALTH COACH

...sounds exciting, right? ... SO, WHAT IS AN EMPOWERMENT COACH?

Well, let's start off by first telling you what it's not - a cheerleader telling you everything you do is right.

Sure, I support you with genuine enthusiasm as we make small shifts through some difficult stuff.  I also point out everything that is working in your life.

But my job is to figure out why the routines, habits and behaviors you are currently doing are not working in each aspect of your life you're interested in discussing-which, if you came to me for Innovative Health Coaching-please check out the descriptions on the HOME page! 

If you have been recommended to me for Relationship Coaching or just an overall evaluation of life to help you figure out why you are feeling stuck, I absolutely would love to work with you! However you landed here-it takes a lot of COURAGE to do this work! 

With my versatile combination of life experiences , education, and relentlessly strong spirit I know how to guide you in the direction that will bring you on the path to higher resonating emotions such as: Courage, Love, Joy and Peace while simultaneously assimilating structure in the mind, re-paving neural-pathways, and bringing you through a deep transformational process no matter what we are working on. These tools and exercises we do together will be with you for a lifetime!

Skating around truths, elephants in the room or being afraid to be assertive has never helped someone shift into a higher phase of growth, therefore I am very honest and believe that is one of the main keys to evolution as a human. 

MY COACHING STYLE

Skating around truths, elephants in the room or being afraid to be assertive has never helped someone shift into a higher phase of growth. Therefore I am very honest and believe that is one of the main keys to evolution as a human. 

After 4 years of Life & Health Coaching, I became a Certified Personal Empowerment Coach & Trauma Specialist (2020) with even more tools, skills, techniques and expertise to guide you or your loved one on the often unpredictable path of mental & physical health struggles.
 
Whether you or a loved one are newly diagnosed or have had an illness for many years there are always more tools to accumulate along our healing journey. 

If you have experienced Trauma and are in Recovery, I highly recommend ME as your Recovery Companion. If you are new to Trauma Healing, we can work together to find the best resources and plan for you. I have extensive experience as a Patient and Coach in both mental and physical health healing. I will never attempt to "treat" "diagnose" or replace a Mental Health Counselor or Doctor. I am however, an asset to your healing process and will provide you with an approach and perspective that you may not find elsewhere due to my specific individual life experiences, how I personally interpret the world and teach accordingly, mixed with my versatile education and certifications you can view below underneath "Credentials."

I have taught and guided countless Doctors and other medical staff as a Trailblazer & Pioneer in the CHD Community and the new world of being a young adult with a Chronic Illness. I have been featured in publications in various organizations, a magazine, on television, Podcasts, YouTube, and have spoken at countless events & seminars. I have been on a mission since 2008, speaking out about integrating Mental Health strategies with Chronic Illness. Such as: PTSD, Anxiety, Medical Traumas, Depression, Suicide, Body Image, Eating Disorders, Sex, Drugs, Alcohol and more.

Regarding balancing and figuring out my own health? I have personally tried it all and am not closed off to assisting you in exploring any healing method-no matter how "weird" it may sound. I personally have used both Eastern & Western Medicine, have tried endless experiments on my body, various therapies, diets, and healing modalities-all in hopes of gaining at least some control over my own body. If have found yourself in a similar position, you have hired the right person to get through this with you!

As a result of my own experiences - this gives me more to pull from to help my Clients navigate their way into the mental and physical health they are striving for, yet don't know how to approach the healing process, which I would absolutely consider myself an Expert in.
