CLIENT TESTIMONIALS and SUCCESS STORIES

"Stephanie is very intuitive.  She's one of the few who really listens and really sees.  She speaks my language and is somehow able to point out what I am experiencing on a subconscious level, bringing what has been hidden to the light.  Externally, my world has changed since working with Stephanie – a new home, new business, new relationship, and more.  These changes are reflected internally as reintegrating the rejected aspects of myself, becoming whole, and birthing a new viewpoint with no evidence. I am so very grateful!"

"Stephanie's ability to observe, nurture and connect with the human body-mind is extraordinary!  By helping me connect with my own internal resources, she has supported me in moving through periods of profound transformation with courage, authenticity and a sense of appreciation for what already is.  She listens with an open heart and holds the space for even the most guarded body-mind parts to come out into the light and be met with grace and acceptance.  Stephanie has a keen awareness of the subtle body and uses S.R.I. techniques with a level of refinement that can only be developed through years of experience.  She consistently brings me into the present moment!"

"My work with Stephanie has facilitated one of my life's most profound shifts and one of my steepest learning curves!  Her friendship and presence in my life is one that is truly unparalleled.  She has been a proverbial hand to hold, an encouraging presence urging me forward, helping me say 'yes' to myself.  Stephanie has been a grounding, ever-present and ever-expansive voice in my head and heart over the past nine months since I began my work with her.  I spent only three months working with her in person, and have since continued my communication with her long distance.  The consistent commitment to my process has proved to be as rare as it has been transformative.  With continued precision and generosity, she will find the thread of truth in a series of rambling, cluttered thoughts, and will mirror back to me my heart's own message.  Her guidance has brought me, again and again, back to myself."

"Every session with Stephanie is unique and powerful. Whether I'm reconnecting with my body or uncovering an emotional plug, I experience a sense of release and freedom that I can then carry forward into my life. She provides a safe and comfortable environment to explore my own somatic connection, and with Stephanie's support, the exploration and healing are brought into conscious awareness as well. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone seeking to get better acquainted with the freedom the body and breath have to offer from the physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental hang ups that lie within."

"Through the SRI process, particularly the breath-work, we were able to find a place I could be present in my body when facing discomfort and fear around changes in my life.  I was able to see that my all wadded up feeling was a call for self-care that has opened a whole new connection to all that I have to be grateful for and what I want to focus on creating in my professional and personal relationships.  Stephanie's unique ability to identify and grasp the unraveling thread at the edge of the limiting story I was telling about myself created an awareness that years of professional counseling did not attain."

D.F., Boulder CO

"Stephanie has a wonderful understanding of people and circumstances that goes beyond the limits of historical facts, unearthing the reality of true motivations and desires. She has supported me through some of life's most challenging moments and has also been there to celebrate my most joyous.  I think of her as a friend and as family, and also as a guide ~ illuminating this journey and facilitating growth, encouraging my every step along the way."

D.E., Ventura CA

"I have worked with Stephanie for several years now in my own journey of creative transformation and healing.  Stephanie has guided me on a magical journey toward a new way of being in the world.  Stephanie's deep earthly wisdom has taught me to work with my body, breath and movement to process life's challenges and embrace life's celebrations."

TOM felt stifled by his own emotional pain and the on-going suffering he observed in the world around him every day.  This daily pain absorbed his focus, leaving him exhausted.  Eventually, his body felt consumed with a variety of confusing symptoms.  He was becoming less able to function and considering medication for depression.  He couldn't let go of control, but was quickly losing control over the quality of his life and well-being.  With the support provided in six months of somatic guidance and coaching, he was able to fully grieve, which provided the letting go he needed to release his pain and restore his sense of freedom.  His mind was finally peaceful and he could feel joy again.  The world around him hadn't changed, but he found the inner-connection to express his own vitality unconditional to the circumstances that were out of his control.

ELLEN had a heavy feeling in her body about the guilt she carried from the past.  Her children were grown, but she still felt ashamed about her sense of limitation and inability to be available for her children while they were growing up.  As she remained stuck and unable to grieve, she continued to miss out on the present moments of being there for her children now.  Over the next year, she utilized the invaluable support of somatic guidance and coaching to help her re-open her heart so that she could find forgiveness, for the past & for herself.  She began to participate in her children's lives, being the mother she had always dreamed of being.  Making peace with herself in this way, she was able to be present for her children and discover new ways of expressing her love for them.  She found the self-connection that allowed her to bring her physical and emotional availability to her relationships, and as a result, receive the blessings that were already in her life.

JOANNE was facing breast cancer at a time in her life when she was in a great deal of transition.  She had just survived a divorce and was living alone.  She had some contact with her two grown daughters, however family friction from the past provided ongoing complications in their relationships.  She had spent so much energy "surviving" everything in her life that she didn't know what to do with herself now.  She was emotionally exhausted and physically burdened by a cascade of symptoms and pain.  Following six months of consistent somatic guidance and coaching, she was able to repair her relationships with both daughters, allowing for a renewed intimacy that served as a new bond of friendship and support in all their lives.  She was able to forgive herself and accept her body's journey as a gift.  She now felt ready to contribute to the lives of her children and grandchildren from a place of courage and strength.

ERIC was on medication because he felt unable to focus, make decisions or move forward in his life.  He had been tested for ADD and bi-polar.  He considered himself "functional," liked his work and had maintained a romantic relationship.  But he was living in a rut, feeling stuck and without passion for his life.  He imagined it could be different, that he could be different.  Over the next eight months of somatic guidance and coaching, we worked together in partnership with his psychiatrist, reducing his medication to the lowest dosage.  Within 10 months, he had gained the emotional stability, mental clarity and physical vitality to live medication-free.  With this newly-found freedom, he felt able to take an action that was inspired from his new sense of alignment.   He married the woman he loved and fulfilled his long-held dream of recording his music.   

JULIE had a professional focus she enjoyed but a burdensome relationship to her business and daily life.  She felt creatively stuck and was unclear as to how to bring her best to everything that was important in her life.  She felt immersed in her sense of limitation and responsibilities rather than energized by her passion and inspiration.  She was an excellent teacher but had become exhausted by how much effort everything in her life required.  With a dedicated year of focused somatic guidance and coaching, she was able to reconnect with her lightness and joy, allowing her to understand what had been missing in her work and self expression.  With this inspiration intact, she reorganized her business and life priorities and found a new, more sustainable way to give to others while caring for her own needs as well.

DYLAN was a four-year-old boy who had started complaining of back pain.  His parents had taken him to the doctor, and nothing was found to be wrong.  He was taken to see a chiropractor, and his spine checked out healthy.  During this time, he continued to complain about his body pain and had started holding himself awkwardly when playing and running to accommodate the pain.  A friend suggested that his parents consider the somatic connection of his emotional congestion playing out as body symptoms.  Dylan's parents were open to this idea, but didn't know where to go from here.   They were referred to Creative Clarity for support.  
     Dylan's father brought him to his first somatic session. As I touched Dylan's body, I recognized the tension being stored in his low-to-mid back and was able to translate an unacknowledged "conversation" in his body around his unmet needs.  As I put a voice to this tension, I instructed Dylan's breathing to help him make his own connections with his body's needs. Spontaneously and naturally, both he and his father began to gently release the tension of this unacknowledged disconnection that was affecting them both.  New awareness was allowed to develop between them and within each of them, resulting in Dylan feeling safe to reconnect with his body.  As I guided him in moving his body in more unstructured ways, Dylan's instincts turned back on.  He started to move his limbs, allowing himself to stretch, wiggle and bend, until he found his own connection to the stored energy in his backside and naturally dissipated it through his movement.  Both Dylan and his father left this first session with a greater degree of lightness.

     The following week, the father reported that Dylan had barely complained about his back pain in the past week and was moving around in his playtime much more freely.  They had both been doing their homework exercises together, giving each of them the support they needed as individuals, while at the same time regaining their connection with one another.  Dylan's mother shared that the shift with her youngest son had helped the whole family feel more at ease.
