Welcome!
I support people like you who are here to make a difference
to get clarity and do what is yours to do.
What if you were built for this?
What if each person playing their part can contribute to a symphony far greater than we can see in the world? What if this time of uncertainty were just the time to recharge and tap again into what truly matters? Find out more.
“Gifts of mind, hands, heart, voice and vision all offered up on behalf of the earth. Whatever our gift, we are called to give it and to dance for the renewal of the world. In return for the privilege of breath.”
What is actually possible?
There are so many important changes happening all around us and in the world right now. You may be experiencing a whole range of feelings, maybe including feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and anxious. So understandable!
Maybe, in the midst of it all, you’re unsure whether you’re making the difference you long to make in your work or life, or what your authentic voice of wisdom actually sounds like.
We all have a wellspring of wisdom inside us, and are built to discover what is actually aligned within us. We can learn to thrive in a way that honors ourselves, and those around us, including the planet.
What if there were a set of skills that could be simple, yet powerful, in supporting a renewed orientation for your life, work or relationships in these times of great change?
I’m dedicated to support people like you to discover your own internal authentic compass and then assist in doing the critical work that’s yours to do in this world with clarity, ease and grace.
“There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”
Hi, I’m Stephanie. Welcome!
Coaching
How might Authentic Coaching support you?
Leadership - Find your own inner authentic voice to bring out the best in yourself and others.
Meaningful Vision/Goals - Set and take action in areas that have the most meaning for you.
Relationships - Cultivate rewarding interactions with those around you.
Time - Experience doing more of what matters most to you with less effort.
Money - Renew your relationship with money to experience greater alignment, resources and even ease.
Well-being - Evolve and develop ways of being that serve your physical and overall vitality.
What Authentic Coaching is not:
Therapy supports healing and insights; while it may be therapeutic, coaching supports action.
Consulting offers advice; coaching supports you to access your own wisdom.
Mentoring offers a role model; while experience may be shared, coaching supports you to see your next authentic step.
Training provides specific objectives; coaching supports you to discover, set goals, and take action toward what is most important for you.
Individual authentic Coaching
How does it work?
My starting package is 6 months, two 55-minute sessions per month, including text and email support in between sessions to celebrate and mark milestones. This time frame is long enough for meaningful results and short enough for a do-able commitment. You can always renew as we approach the end of 6 months.
I streamline our work together and the set up is simple, easy, and straight-forward each step of the way.
Free Discovery Session
We'll start by seeing if there’s a fit and if so, clarifying what you'd love to get out of working together as well as answering any questions.
My intention is to offer value in every interaction, so regardless of whether we work together, I will support you to see your next authentic action.
Simple Contract
If we see we're a fit, we'll review and sign a digital contract and start as soon as you'd like.
Coaching Sessions
In our sessions, you'll move past challenges, set goals, make action plans & celebrate successes.
what people are saying
“This has resulted in more ease and flow in both my professional and personal relationships”
I highly recommend Stephanie as an intuitive mentor and leadership coach. In working with Stephanie, she helped expand my awareness and leverage tactics to become the “observer” of my external environment and triggers vs. reacting from a place of attachment and judgement. I am now able to create the internal space in any interaction and respond from a place of integrity.
This has resulted in more ease and flow in both my professional and personal relationships, as well as daily experiences in life. With this personal transformation, I have more energy to focus on taking authentic action towards my life’s vision and goals!
Thank you, Stephanie.

“…deepening listening and interaction skills between colleagues that is lasting well beyond the end of the retreat.”
Stephanie was an incredible facilitator for our department retreat. The way she worked the room and handled our team with care was phenomenal. Stephanie put a lot of time into preparing for the day in terms of curriculum and understanding our organization. I found that the experiences she led us through has made a significant difference in deepening listening and interaction skills between colleagues that is lasting well beyond the end of the retreat. We are very happy with how our department retreat went and we hope to work with Stephanie again in the future!

“…we can all reach our fullest potentials in the group…we feel heard, committed and happier.”
Stephanie is phenomenal!
Stephanie is the group leader in an amazing forum that I am a member of, and I have only great things to say about her. She is very creative, and I see this magical aspect of her brilliant ideas of how we can all reach our fullest potentials in the group. Since becoming our group leader, she has found innovative ways to change and improve so many things in our forum. As a result of these changes, we feel heard, committed, and happier.
Stephanie is an incredible human being who enjoys bringing out the best in people. She is authentic, genuinely cares about people and is invested in their progress, humble, and all-round amazing.
Everyone needs a Stephanie in their life.

“For five years, I struggled with wanting to follow my passion, but that meant leaving a well-paying job in a field I had worked in for 30 years…I am so glad I am now fully present in my authentic, fulfilling life.”
For five years, I struggled with wanting to follow my passion, but that meant leaving a well-paying job in a field I had worked in for 30 years. Scary! What if it didn't work out? What if my friends and family thought I was crazy? What if the window of opportunity had already passed and I was too late? I tried to move past my fears by reading self-help books, talking with supportive friends, and writing many pros and cons lists.
Nothing was working to get me moving forward. I decided to try coaching because I knew I needed a compassionate guide who would help me get on the track to action. I really lucked out with Stephanie, because she gently but firmly guided me to see for myself every time my "monkey mind" was taking over, helped me set reasonable goals, and cheered me on as I took each step. Stephanie helped me see how I was holding myself back even though I was capable of achieving my dream.
It's now two months since I resigned from my job as a college administrator and am now dedicating myself to my art practice, coaching and teaching, and I am so much happier in my day-to-day life. Why? Because I am making decisions based on my authenticity, no matter what. This was my biggest take-away - that as long as I speak and act authentically I will be honoring who I am, and I can then respond authentically to whatever results. I can trust myself. I am so glad I am now fully present in my authentic, fulfilling life.
THANK YOU so much, Stephanie.

“I have grown more as a professional in the past year and a half than I have in my previous 15 years of working”
Stephanie is a true master as my executive coach. She helped me realize another breakthrough that has given me the space, freedom and courage to grow in my professional career. Her coaching has positively transformed me into a more compassionate human who feels more confident taking risks in my career and in my personal life.
With Stephanie as my much trusted advisor, I have grown more as a professional in the past year and a half than I have in my previous 15 years of working.

Working with Stephanie…has had a direct and positive impact on the output of my team as well as the relationships with my team members…I’ve been able to produce at a higher rate than ever before and with a more sustainable experience.
Stephanie is a leadership guru. She excels at this by being an exceptional listener. In her presence, I have the experience of being seen for who I really am (in the moment and long term). She encourages and guides me to search within myself for realizations that inspire action that is aligned with my authentic self.
Working with Stephanie I’ve become a significantly more impactful and more authentic leader. Stephanie has coached me during different phases of my career; while I was the Founder CEO of a small startup, through it’s acquisition and during my journey at the acquiring company where I’m managing many more people. I’ve continuously gained clarity and confidence working with Stephanie which has had a direct and positive impact on the output of my team as well as the relationships with my team members. By drilling down and focusing on what really matters in any given situation with Stephanie I’ve been able to produce at a higher rate than ever before and with a more sustainable experience.
