Hi my love, I’m Steph and i’m glad you’re here.

Why do I want to show you how to embody your truth and power?

Because I have experienced firsthand how embodied learning is one of the most transformative, valuable and healing forces on the planet.

Believe it or not, I used to be the quiet one—always afraid to speak up, never asking questions for fear of seeming foolish. I didn't feel safe or know how to say no when my body screamed it. I didn’t know how to advocate for myself because no one taught me how to communicate my feelings or respect my body as a temple.

I know this isn’t just my story. I've talked to hundreds of women who feel the same. Like many, I also didn’t have any understanding of my nervous system.

As women, we are more prone to fawning and fitting in (people pleasing), downplaying our own viewpoints, beliefs, insights, creativity and aspirations in order to keep the peace in our relationships, family and professional life.

When we continuously ignore signals and cues, it can lead to feelings of shame and self-blame afterward. Questions like, "Why didn’t I speak up? Protect myself? Leave? Scream? Fight back?" reflect our nervous system's response in those moments, not a matter of moral judgment. Recognizing this is essential because we frequently question why we agreed to something that felt wrong. This isn't solely due to conditioning; it's also our autonomic nervous system signaling that separation or conflict might endanger our well-being—something we HAD NO CHOICE OVER. Our nervous system decides for us.

Understanding your own system provides greater empowerment, expands your choices and ultimately enhances your sense of safety. Therefore, it’s crucial to learn about, respect and show compassion for the survival mechanisms of our complex nervous system.

So let’s take a moment to bless our brilliant autonomic nervous systems that responded FOR US to keep us safe in those moments. Bless the part of us that lacked the words to express our feelings, even when we knew something was off. Bless the part that conformed to others' expectations to maintain peace, striving to be liked, to belong and to be accepted. Bless the part that didn't yet know how to honor our bodies as sacred.

That was then.

Now, I’m here to show you that understanding your nervous system isn’t just possible—it’s essential. With your permission, let me help you develop the skills to understand your body's signals, trust these messages and identify the next steps to feel more relaxed, awake and alive.

My approach integrates Somatic Experiencing, Embodied Movement and Mindfulness. This integration allows me to blend the spiritual and scientific realms, where my deep spiritual practice and embodied connection have brought me back to life, revealing my true self. I embrace life as my practice, seeing everything as a gateway to personal growth. From a Buddhist perspective, life is my curriculum, continuously offering opportunities for learning and transformation.

Inspired by the principle of bodhicitta from Tibetan Buddhism, my mission is rooted in a genuine desire to be of service to others. This commitment drives me to uncover and share the transformative potential inherent in these practices.

I find great joy in guiding individuals to have a real understanding of their nervous systems, facilitating a deeper connection to their own inner wisdom. My work empowers others to navigate their personal journeys with resilience and self-awareness, fostering healing, growth and authentic self-expression.
