Motivated.
“Stephanie was a great asset to me when I decided to change careers. She helped me decipher exactly what I was lacking in my old career and what I would require to be happy and positively challenged in a new career. She kept me focused and motivated and I would recommend Stephanie as a personal coach to anyone who wants to improve their life. She will get you moving and inspire you to ‘Get busy living!’”

Improved.
“She’s gutsy. She’s wise. Who wouldn’t benefit from having a highly intelligent person focused on improving their life?”
— S.P.
Artist
Balanced.
“Stephanie is exceptional in that her intellectual capacity is equally matched by a very high emotional sensitivity. I find this quite effective in a coach. She can work with a highly mental person or a highly emotional person and both would feel understood, comfortable, and safe. Capable of both extremes, she does an excellent job of bridging that gap for people and is a model for the balance most want more of in their own life.”
— P.H., L.M.T.
Massage Therapist/Workshop Leader
Fulfilled.
When I started with Stephanie I was very confused because I was at a turning point in my life that was one of the biggest I have ever come upon. I felt lost and weak and I needed someone to guide me and make me feel as if I was normal. Stephanie did exactly this for me. She helped me feel as if I was not alone and she showed me new and insightful ways of taking care of myself and helping me work toward a goal. I cannot even describe to you the feeling of confidence and power over my life and the happiness that I feel now. I feel as if I don’t have to please everyone and that I can be free to go in my own direction – not one that is dictated to me by others. I have a new sense of self and what it is that makes me truly happy and fulfilled. I feel like I am capable of moving ahead in my life and not worrying if I don’t know exactly where I will end up. Coaching will guide you to where you are supposed to be and it can help you grow and change into a person that you will be proud to show the world.

From Listeners
Testimonials from listeners of Dr. Stephanie’s Guided Visualization Relaxation audio.
Clarity.
“I really enjoyed the CD! It really helped me sleep. When I get stressed out, good sleep is the first thing that gets sacrificed. I can’t seem to shut down my brain when I’m tense. When I first listened to the CD, I was trying to put the finishing touches on my wedding, and I didn’t want my stress levels to interfere with the fun and excitement that comes with getting married. The CD helped me unwind and clear my head, which lead to falling asleep faster and easier. I don’t know if I would have made it down the aisle without it! “
— Aja
Healthy.
“I have been using Dr. Stephanie’s guided relaxation cd for about three years now and it continues to help me tremendously. I first tried the cd when I was stressed beyond belief and really struggling with my health. My performance was failing at school and at work and I needed help fast.
Just after one use of the guided relaxation cd I was feeling better prepared to face the day. It literally got me through my undergraduate degree and has helped me get through my master’s now! Finding balance with this cd was truly a blessing.
I had been poisoning my body with stress in what seemed like an unbreakable cycle.Once I was able to let that go my health improved significantly, as did my relationships and performance in daily responsibilities.
I have recommended it to every struggling and stressed out friend, family member, and student I have had. Thank you, Dr. Stephanie! You have drastically improved my quality of life and I cannot thank you enough.”
— Tracy, Maricopa, AZ
Calming.
“I had never listened to a guided relaxation CD before, but a friend recommended Dr. Stephanie’s CD to me when I was dealing with an impending cross-country move and career change.
I’m generally a “worrier” to begin with, so additional life changes really exacerbated my stress and anxiety levels. After listening to the CD once, I started doing Dr. Stephanie’s CD daily, sometimes twice a day.
It really helped me feel centered in circumstances that would have normally spun me into a whirlwind of negative emotions. Not only is her technique calming and relaxing, it also teaches self-compassion, which is a lesson I certainly need to be reminded of every now and again.
That was about a year ago. Now I have the coping skills to catch myself in the middle of an anxious situation and I can return to my breathing and calm myself and be present and face the situation. Not always, but sometimes, and I’m getting better.
I now listen to Dr. Stephanie’s CD about once a week. Sometimes less, sometimes more, depending on what I’m feeling. I feel so much gratitude to Dr. Stephanie for her guidance. Thank you!”
— Kelly, Falls Church, VA
