“The time I spent working with Stephanie helped me to not only achieve my goals in creativity and business, but to create a sense of health, peace, and balance in my internal life. She worked with me to clarify my priorities, to clear away the clutter and distractions that everyday life throws at you, and to keep my eyes on what is important to me. We worked in a consistent, measurable way towards quality of life goals that I set for myself. Stephanie's gift is that she is able to strike this extraordinary balance between being really thoughtful and giving, while still being patiently persistent in holding me accountable to the standards I set for myself. Its not easy work to change your life for the better, but when you are working with Stephanie, she brings such a warmth and a generosity of spirit, that the process was satisfying, productive, and transformative.”

"After my first session with Stephanie, it became abundantly clear that she was born to help people guide themselves to their own true potential. She so intuitively asks just the right questions at just the right time in such a nurturing and gentle way, while still getting down to some powerful and meaningful issues and holding you accountable to yourself. She guides our time together with such fluidity and compassion, that each session feels like a little refreshing treat. I am so grateful for her ability to help me see beyond my own small world into a more expansive and joyful vision for myself and family. Basically - she’s the bomb."

"I highly recommend Stephanie to be your Life Coach. She has helped me understand, in plain terms, the complexities of my life. Her sessions enable me to see what are the true motivations behind my thoughts and actions and she helps me eliminate the clutter that, at times, prevents me from clearly looking forward. With her, you will open your eyes to yourself."
~Edwin Monclova, Musician / Communications Project Manager Dilia Suriel
I’m consummate believer in the law of attraction and it is important for me to work with a Life Coach who shared my belief system. Stephanie has been a Godsend. I came to San Diego as a consultant and I was dealing with a highly stressful and all-consuming job situation which caused all of my healthy practices to go out the window. Stephanie became my weekly grounding, re-calibrating, sanity beacon that allow me to reclaim my commitment to a high quality of life. Stephanie is caring, insightful, aware, fun, awake, spiritual and supportive Life Coach. She listens, she called me on my bullshit, she encouraged my inner wisdom and helped me formulate plans that I was able to execute and benefit from them. I highly recommend Stephanie as catalyst to positive and effective life changes.

"It has been such a blessing to work with Stephanie. Through her guidance and support I have been able to gain more clarity on my own personal goals. Stephanie has an amazing ability to create an environment that allows you to open yourself up and reflect on what it is you want to do. She has been able to pull out the resources in me I didn't realize I have, and helped me create the foundation I need to continue my journey towards living a happy and authentic life."
~Vicky Rodriguez, Community Development Support Organization Program Officer Bryan Pon
I don't believe that Stephanie actually has to think when she's coaching. Her intuition is so sensitive, her awareness so finely tuned, that having a session with her is like a smooth, natural walking meditation. She doesn't have to think about being a coach because she has always been a coach; I believe it is part of her being and part of her purest expression. Which is why she absolutely rocks. I'm a practiced client who has spent a lot of time with different life coaches, and I'm amazed at how well Stephanie can guide me through/around/into the themes that I bring to our talks, so often finding the deeper issues that are hiding out in the wings trying to escape notice. She's gentle when she needs to be, but has high expectations for me and what I can do--like a great coach, she pushes me to learn and grow as only I can."
~Bryan Pon, Ph.D. Student, Renewable Energy Analyst Annie Lorrie Anderson-Lazo
Hiring Stephanie was a gift to myself and a commitment to developing a personal daily praxis of fulfillment, joy and fun. The peer-to-peer approach is just right for me, because I wanted to stay in the driver’s seat while I was identifying and creating new tools for inhabiting my life as it unfolds. The coaching sessions remind me that three times a month, I will turn off my other projects and challenges for an hour, focus on employing the wisdom of my own lived experience, and inhabit the Self that I love best!
~Annie Lorrie Anderson-Lazo, Ph.D Postdoctoral Research Fellow Jennifer Shirlock
I can without a doubt say that my decision to start my journey with Stephanie is the best one I’ve made yet. This woman is inspirational, uplifting and such a kind soul, you can’t help but fall in love with her! She was definitely put on this earth to help others, and she is so wonderful at doing so. Stephanie has helped me discover my inner self, embrace it and love it! She has also helped me believe that my goals and aspirations are within my reach and that I am more than capable of having the life that I envision. I cherish my weekly visits with her, and leave each session feeling refreshed, empowered and excited to take on my goals. Like I said, best decision I’ve made yet! She is such a blessing and I am so grateful to have her in my life.

"Everyday is a new beginning." Since speaking with Stephanie for the first time, I have truly come to believe that statement. I've learned to take each day for what it is worth and to not dwell on my imperfections or day to day life problems. Instead of telling me all of the things that may be wrong with me, she builds me up and makes me realize what a wonderful person I actually am. I speak with her biweekly, but between those meeting days is when I grow the most. Stephanie helps me map out a plan to find the better me who is waiting on the other side of each of those two weeks. Every day, I think of the building we've done and remember how to take each step accordingly. She helps me find the answers to my own questions by really listening and asking the thought provoking questions I've never thought to ask myself. I can speak freely and feel comfortable doing so within each of our conversations. I take every word she says and I push it to the limit. I definitely think our relationship is a partnership, in that she guides me to find who I really am and helps me find who I want to be. I feel like we're taking me to a place I never thought I would be able to go. I am so thankful I decided to message her that fateful day, because with her help, I am constantly becoming a better version of myself.
