My Story

Being so sensitive I had always felt misunderstood, mostly by myself in my younger years. It wasn’t until 33 when I went into my first solo therapist session when I was asked,

“When did I lose my self-worth”?

Gulp… I was speechless.

Doing my best to protect my sensitivities I built a strong armor and lived externally full of control, perfectionism, and a very disconnected sense of self. Eventually the armor no longer protected me, it became my own self imposed imprisonment. In my early 30’s my external world around me started to crumble, I realized I needed help, instead of sourcing outward for validation it was time for me to look within myself.

I knew in my heart that this inward work was not a solo job, I needed help, guidance from a professional. This was the first steep I took into self-accountability, self-love, self-curiosity, and self-healing.

While navigating thru my healing journey with the support of therapists and energetic guides, I became very aware of my limiting self-beliefs and my behavioral patterns that kept me small and not in right-relationship with myself or others.  I began to reparent my inner child, I acknowledged my sensitives and instead of seeing them as a hinderance, I built a new relationship with my feelings and emotions, I created space for them to be felt and expressed, I now honor my empathic gifts.

At first it was a whisper, 6 years into my therapy, then whisper became a deep all-knowing, creating inspired-action to step into my purpose. By reconnecting my authentic self, my purpose became very clear to me… I am here to offer support within a safe container for others with integral guidance and reflection.

In 2021 enrolled in online integrative wellness coaching school to deepen my knowledge and skillset within the coaching felid. I graduated in May 2022 and have received my coaching certification thru Zura Health Academy.

With my intuitive, creative, and sensitive heart; empathetic, compassionate, and loving soul; I’ve harness my powers of deep understanding and unique capacity for intimacy to create safe, welcoming spaces for women to show up and receive support. I naturally gravitate towards small group settings and 1:1 interactions which sets the stage for beautiful, intimate, heartfelt connections and provides genuine opportunities for women to show up in their fullness and be received in a compassionate energetic embrace.

It is my true honor to offer my Life Coaching Services, specifically working 1:1 with women providing a safe, non judgmental reflective space.

  • Stacey is a bright light that consistently shows up and holds space with empathy, encouragement and unconditional Love.

    I inherently trust Stacey to advocate for the goodness and potential of each person’s Soul. Stacey has the humility and knows (like every exceptional healer) the key to great outcomes with others, rests upon her own self-reflection and inner work, which she takes seriously and attends with great care. We should all be so lucky to know and be supported by someone like Stacey.

  • Stacey is such an inspiration to me, and I would recommend her to anyone. Her words are powerful, her message is rewarding, and she just has sooo much to give...

    I have been a behavioral health nurse for over five years and I am a board-certified nurse coach, however, a conversation for just 5 minutes with her carries more talent and more wisdom than I could ever imagine. I just want to soak up every little thing she has to say. It is an unbelievable natural gift that she has. I have been in close contact with many psychologists, psychiatrist, practitioners, you name it. Never have I come across such talent in one individual. Stacey is a true empath to her core and that is what it takes to be a true master of the trade. Her work in mental health and self-awareness is unprecedented as I personally have experienced many noetic moments in her presence. She is an open-heart ready receive any challenge and she is ready to give that empowerment and enlightenment you might be looking for. She just lets it flow! She opened an awareness Inside of me I can’t even begin to explain. Stacey is such an inspiration to me, and I would recommend her to anyone. Her words are powerful, her message is rewarding, and She just has soooo much to give. Anyone is who is blessed enough to cross paths with this vibrant soul is a very fortunate being. I know she is going to touch the lives of so many in the most unthinkable and positive of ways. Stacey has a gift and is a gift to this world, and guess what, WE, get to be the receivers of her gift! I have serious gratitude for this one for helping me in more ways than she could ever know!
