“Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.”
Theresa G, Vancouver Canada
I can use many words to describe Stephanie: deeply compassionate, non-judgmental, genuinely curious, thoughtful, thought-provoking and practical. Most importantly, she is effective. She has helped me navigate a career change, a tragic family death, the anxiety of the pandemic, and a major fire all will grace and ease. She always comes to the core truth and the precise emotions surrounding issues I have spent a lifetime trying to resolve. I am deeply grateful for her wisdom and her insight.
Thank you,
Theresa

I started working with Stephanie consistently about a year ago. I felt very lost and confused with life and just after one session, Stephanie helped me get clarity — she helped me discover the tools and practices to ground myself and understand what I want to do with my life.
Stephanie helped me go through major and traumatic experiences in my life like grieving the loss of my baby, leaving a toxic relationship and career change. I am not sure if I would have been able to cope with those events so well without Stephanie’s guidance. I grew so much over the past months — I am in tune with my intuition and my needs now, something that I never paid attention to before (which is exactly what led me to certain traumatic events in my life). I leave every session inspired, calm and confident.
“Stephanie has been able to identify and shine light on my inner truths and emotions.”
Kym n, perth, australia
If like me, you find yourself ready to uncover who you are and why, then Stephanie Marian is a magnificent choice to take with you as ‘your personal guide’ on your journey of self-discovery, self-understanding and personal growth.
Stephanie provides a safe haven for me to open up and discuss any emotions or situations that are presenting for me in my life at that time, that I wish to gain deeper understanding of. Using her open heart, wisdom, patience, compassion, understanding of people and psychology and how energy works; she has assisted me to see deep aspects of myself and subsequently understand them, to enable me to release any old behaviours, patterns and energy that I wish to move on from.
She has been able to identify and shine light on my inner truths and emotions, to safely guide me to discover these truths for myself, in my own way, in my own time, born out of my own insight and understanding of myself and my experiences. It feels as if I am leading myself to the answers I am seeking, with the wise and insightful guidance of Stephanie.
Every session has an impact on my growth, and recording them allows me to re-visit our discussion at a later time. This assists me to view myself from a slightly different perspective and this has often lead to further moments of clarity or insight that give me a deeper understanding of myself and my experiences.
Giving myself sessions with Stephanie has been a most important and valuable gift to myself, because it has lead me to really know myself, all parts of who I am and ‘why’. I now use this greater and more truthful knowledge and awareness of myself to understand the world I have created in the past, and more so, the one I desire to create today.

Katie C, Los Angeles, USA
Stephanie is unique and like no other counsellor with whom I have worked. She offers self-discovery in a way that is so wonderful that it feels both like I am doing the work that I’ve been needing to do, while doing it in the care of a person who is unconditionally interested in me and my growth. The cadence of our sessions is easy - when I have a lot to say, Stephanie is there to listen and reflect, while, alternatively, if I’m having a quieter day, her incredible intuition helps to elicit that which is difficult to express in words. I find our sessions to be stimulating, productive, fun, even jovial and intimate where I’m not afraid or ashamed to be intimate. She has been effective in providing me with the types of tools that I can use in my daily routine which help keep me on my path of clarity. I can say, without reservation, that if you are feeling fear about diving in to your self-discovery, there is no need to worry with Stephanie. She is the exact perfect person for your story and your pace. I feel so fortunate to have met Stephanie when I did. She is the breath of fresh air I needed when I needed it the most!
Julianne B, Perthshire, Scotland
My work with Stephanie has been a life changing experience. Before the process began, I went through life blaming myself for the way I was. I lacked self love, self belief and I suffered from anxiety. Through Stephanie’s support, practical advice and by my own self reflection, I have gained a greater understanding of ‘me’. Reflection helped me see that I was different from the person that I had been moulded into. Our sessions have released me from a straight jacket of self perceptions and I can now be the real me, not the person that was formed from childhood experiences. This self realisation has also helped my understanding of others. She has taught me to not only look at my reactions to situations, but also through doing this, I have learned about why others behave in the way they do. Relationships with family members have improved dramatically and I feel a peace. Stephanie’s intuitive approach peels back the layers to reach your core, not an easy journey, it takes commitment, hard work, but if I had to choose between the person I was and the one which is now continually growing, the latter wins. It is freeing to be ones true self.
“There is a contradiction in wanting to be perfectly secure in a universe whose very nature is momentariness and fluidity.”
Shalayne S, Vancouver, Canada
I started seeing Stephanie at the recommendation of a friend of mine after losing my spouse. I have struggled to find a counsellor that I could trust over the years; many of my experiences were very sterile and clinical and I always felt as though I was racing the clock in order to make the most of my session. My experience with Stephanie has opened my eyes to what this field should look like and I am continuously grateful that I have had the opportunity to meet and work with her. As I study to become a counsellor myself I constantly find myself inspired by her and the way she structures our sessions; the combination of psychology and intuition create a remarkably healing environment, to which I credit much of my personal progress. She has taught me an incredible amount already, and I look forward to continuing that journey.
Alexsandra A, vancouver, Canada
Stephanie is amazing. No matter how difficult your journey is, she can connect you with your deeper self and help you realize your worth in this world. I was navigating hard times with in-laws, family, and my job and she was able to help me find the right path. Not only did she help with my communication and assisting with setting boundaries, but also realizing what my values are and what was making it difficult to be true to myself. She has helped me create better relationships without having to sacrifice myself which I value so much! I have recommended her to all my friends and family. I truly appreciate every session with her and it feels like I have gained a very helpful friend for whenever life gives me road blocks. Thank you Stephanie for creating a safe space for sharing.
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.”
Ramona V, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Stephanie has helped and supported me on so many levels. Depending on my needs she would adjust her ways of counselling me. In her holistic approach there is no spiritual bypassing, all different aspects of ourselves are addressed if needed. Her ways of working are non conventional which I find so refreshing and helpful. I was amazed by how accurately Stephanie can intuitively pinpoint certain emotions I was going through in order to move through them or to bring clarity. On a spiritual level I felt understood and was guided by Stephanie with wisdom and true knowledge. By also sharing her own (sometimes super funny!) experiences, she creates a safe space in which I could share anything without being/feeling judged. Stephanie is humorous, easy going, gentle and strong. Her patience is amazing, but most of all I felt seen and heard – connected. I would recommend her sessions to anyone who seeks clarity, needs guidance or counselling!
Nadja S, Augsburg, Germany
I cannot describe how much power and strength I´m taking into my actual reality every time after having a Skype session with you. You help me find the truth inside myself that I forgot for a short time. With you I'm also laughing and crying at the same time, because I am so touched by your living wisdom. This is a love letter to a woman that experienced a lot and has got one of the most empathic, honest, clear and wide opened heart I know! Professional behaviour in every session but also loving and caring like a good friend. You light up the world with your being!! People, take your chance, such an amazing coach, leading you through your hardest journeys, is very hard to find...
“A little foolishness to enjoy life & a little wisdom to avoid the errors, that will do.”
mamata p, vancouver, canada
I am so very grateful that I was introduced to Stephanie who I have been seeing for close to a year now. I feel like the work we have been doing together has help me gain perspective about life experiences. It has helped me clear, to shift in many beneficial directions. I am thankful to her for being Coach/ Counsellor/ Guide. I love her ability to connect so deeply and her ability to help me transcend something in me that is blocked. She has been able to help me understand how the Truth is really Simple. I feel like that has helped with my Spiritual Development, her ability to help me connect to my Truth. It’s an honour to know Stephanie and continue to work together. I highly recommend her if you would like to go deeper and connect with your power.
Vipul G, Bangalore, India
I have known Stephanie for the last three years. In my awakening journey there have been times when Stephanie has supported and helped me, understanding the process and acting as a guide in those tense moments. We have had long exchanges; I love the motherly feeling I felt from her. She was a strong support as a spiritual guide and friend. She is an amazing healer and an inspiration.

Allison W, Vancouver, Canada
Within the time I have been working with Stephanie and natural medicines I have been profoundly empowered to do the work, to delve fearlessly into the dark and stuck places. I have gotten the opportunity to grow as a person, as an adult person.
As we work together I understand that Stephanie has a deep understanding of my protective patterns, combined with an ability to connect with the energy of who I really am. It’s a great compliment to benefit from. Stephanie helps me to connect the dots that have always been right in front of me, but I couldn’t see.
Thank you Stephanie for seeing me, holding sacred space for me and helping me on the road to becoming the person I envision myself to be. I look forward to our next session and a continuation of personal growth.
Jess T, Vancouver, Canada
My sessions with Stephanie have been very helpful in working through challenges that have become patterns in my life. She has given me tools and guidance on navigating relationships that have helped me immensely. I haven’t had the greatest experience with counsellor’s in the past but her approach really works for me because it isn’t traditional.
“The great gift of holding someone’s hand or holding space is that we also grow. A teacher is a student too - we are mirrors for each other. ”
Amano K, London, UK
I cannot recommend this enough, having a session with Stephanie Marian for anyone struggling or overcome by fear or doubt. Having had conventional counselling before; firstly Stephanie met me with an immediate, intuitive, heart to heart connection that made me feel seen and loved - even over the internet (as someone not used to video sessions, this was utterly amazing). I was dumbfounded that Stephanie quickly and very accurately identified key early childhood life events, blocks and pain, intuitively. She provided very practical ways to deepen the relationship with myself and working with the inner child to overcome fears and insecurities.
Stephanie met in such a loving yet practical way, is grounded and holds presence. It was like she was mirroring my heart and soul whilst quickly and intuitively helping me to identify fears and constraints.
The main difference working with Stephanie for me was the level of generosity and giving. There was an immediate depth of connection and she worked effectively and incisively for my own good and sovereignty as a soul. The session got straight to the issues and didn’t feel like an obligation or long term client relationship.
“I have discovered lost treasures within myself. ”
Jocelyn K, Vancouver, Canada
I would describe Stephanie like a wise friend. She listens to me and understands what I am saying without me even saying it. She is so intuitive! I have troubles often knowing what I am feeling but she can read my emotional/ physical state and can tell me what I am feeling!
Before I met Stephanie I was unsure why I acted certain ways to certain people or circumstances. Through a journey of her telling me to “stop - feel the feelings” I started to accept all emotions of the spectrum.
It was all about acceptance.
“Both light and shadow are the dance of love.”
Leah C, Vancouver, Canada
Working with Stephanie has been an eye opening experience. I have looked at and in places I didn’t even know I needed to look into, or situations that I had completely deemed unimportant in my life.
With Stephanie’s guidance we have opened these doors and looked inside. I have discovered lost treasures within myself, found a new level of understanding of why I was accepting people, circumstances and my reactions to past and present life’s events.
Stephanie has carefully walked me through the meaning of abandonment, rejection, as well as learning the ‘feelings vocabulary’.
Working with Stephanie has been a wild ride, one I couldn’t predict. I feel more connected to myself.
erika A, CaLifornia, USA
I began working with Stephanie when I was in the darkest time of my life. I was seeking for guidance and Stephanie’s easy to talk to approach made me feel comfortable, understood and supported.
Her skills in counseling have helped me identify the root of the problem as well as her useful techniques to utilize on a daily basis. Although I’m still working through my fears and traumas I look forward to every session with Stephanie because she cares for you and also who doesn’t appreciate someone who tells it like it is. I have learned new insight and made progress in the sessions I’ve had with her. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone going through any challenging seasons in life. It’s no coincidence finding her in the path to your own healing.
“Who sees all beings in his own self and his own self in all beings, loses all fear.”
lesley G, Calgary, Canada
I have found Steph’s insight and intuition extremely enlightening. I was struggling to open up to people and having a hard time dealing with some very old hurt that kept coming back to haunt me. She has helped me to understand why I created my coping mechanisms and how to start changing them and heal from my pain. I have felt understood and never judged. I can’t thank you enough! I look forward to continuing to work with you.
William L, Vancouver, Canada
I have never worked with anyone as unique as Stephanie. She combines two worlds and backgrounds into a more expansive support vehicle. Many counsellors will ask a few questions and then listen a lot. If you’re expecting that from Stephanie, you’ll be majorly surprised. She looks at you and your life from both the psychological and spiritual perspectives. It’s in this blending that I found Stephanie to be in a league of her own. She would tell me what she sees or senses both from what I shared and even from what I didn’t say. This was not guesswork - she’s a combination of attentive counsellor and accurate psychic.
She comes from a place of deep listening and connection that I believe you can’t get with other types of counsellors. There’s a genuineness and compassion I could feel, even from our initial phone conversation. The bottom line with her services is that she’ll keep providing them as long as she feels it’s benefiting you. She doesn’t hang onto clients for the sake of having another paid client. Also, she has integrity; she’s happy when her clients no longer need sessions. Her purpose - for people to get in touch with who they are, is the foundation of all her work.
“It is through science we prove, but through intuition we discover.”
angel r, New york, usa
I am so thankful for the counselling you gave me Stephanie. It brought me out of my shell and able to engage with the world again, with confidence. You showed me the fear that prevented me from seeing myself. I learned to connect with my original story and discarded the illusions I’d been holding. You brought me out of my head and I embraced my heart and the wisdom that comes from that place. I have finally been able to express my authentic masculine energy. For helping me with this and more, I am eternally grateful.
“We’re all just walking each other home.”
Chris J, London, UK
Words can’t express how grateful I am for Stephanie’ presence in my life. For me she is a counsellor, a teacher and a guide who has gifted me a whole new perspective on life. Instead of offering personal opinions, Stephanie asks questions and shepherds you to discover your own truth. She has a magical gift of reading peoples energy and locating the things we’re hiding away. Painlessly, through a fantastic sense of humour, humility and compassion, Stephanie takes your hand and walks you through, as a mother would her child, the scariest of internal environments. She is an angel sent from above and if you’ve come this far, to be reading this recommendation, all I can say is how very lucky you are for being guided here.
“The more cheerful, happy, contented, and satisfied I am feeling, the more aware I am of my deep connection to everything.”
Teaghan T, Vancouver, Canada
My name is Teaghan. I’ve been coming to Stephanie for counselling for about a year now, as well as attending her men’s group Avanti for a few months. My first session with Stephanie was nothing short of breathtaking. From the first 30 minutes I instantly felt as if Stephanie was a lifelong friend who knew me very closely. I made more progress and illuminated pieces of my story that had never occurred to me, than I had in all my experience of counselling. Stephanie has opened my mind to many different methods of approaching the conflict within. Her personal and informal method of counselling allows for a very relaxed and open experience, in which you feel comfortable and motivated to be open and truthful about your thoughts and feelings. Having been with other counsellors and met with frustration, my experience with Stephanie has been a breath of fresh air and has lead to very important progression and growth as an individual as a result. I would urge you to visit Stephanie if your looking for an out of the box alternative to more conventional methods of counselling you will not be disappointed!

Dani o, Vancouver, Canada
I have been a client of Stephanie’s for over the past year and I cannot say enough amazing things. Stephanie is a warm soul, non judgmental and ever so compassionate. She goes above and beyond and you can truly tell she cares about her clients. Sessions are flexible for time and organic. Her style of counselling makes you feel safe and comfortable. I’ve noticed a positive shift in my life since I have started having fortnightly sessions with her. I have struggled with trauma and abuse in my life and with the tools and practices Stephanie has provided, it has helped me move forward with my personal growth. I feel grateful to have found such a wonderful guide to help me on my journey.
Marnie D, Sydney, Australia
I have had the pleasure of Stephanie Marian's immeasurable guidance and support as I journeyed to reconnect to my deepest feminine nature, to empower me.
Stephanie offers a compassionate space of non-judgement where you can reach your potential with comfort and grace. Her guidance is like a warm, nurturing hug from a protective Mumma. It was a joy to be in her presence each session.
Every session was unique to the needs presented at that time, and each bought with it an understanding of previously unknown facets of my self. Stephanie brought to my awareness pieces of my life puzzle that had been locked away during my 38 years of life, which were impacting my current situation. She saw ME. She saw what needed to come to light so that I could release what was holding me back.
During my sessions with Stephanie and subsequent personal work she suggested I undertake, there were many "wow" moments, and with each of these tasks a piece of me returned. I experienced/am still experiencing many profound shifts. Yes, part of my healing journey involved tears. To realize I had carried this hurt within me for over 3 decades was indeed confronting, yet it was also one of the most profoundly healing journeys I have ever undertaken.
“You are what you’ve been looking for. The answer is always in you alone.”
George V, Vancouver, Canada
I had a very illuminating and mind-expanding experience working with Steph. I found her to be insightful and intuitive, especially. And I was impressed at how quickly she was able to get to my inner core and to figure out why I was doing what I was doing and not getting all the results I wanted personally and professionally. She really helped me understand myself more and figure out a way to be more comfortable with who I am, so that I could be free to be more powerful and authentic. I like Steph’s warm and informal approach and really enjoyed our conversations together, which covered a broad range of subjects. If you want someone to help bring out your best and are not afraid of really taking a close look at yourself (and discovering what's really inside), definitely look at working with Stephanie.
“For me, these words are always newer than born,
And older than breath;
The beacon that guides a lost ship home,
More welcome port than a sailor’s rest:
”Love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear;
the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:
the truth more first than sun, more last than star...” ”
Sabrina S, London, UK
I just wanted to share a few words about Stephanie and her counselling. It was such a blessing to have met her, and even more to have had her warmth, healing and wisdom through her sessions. It gave me much insight, not from what she told me but what she allowed me to see within myself. I was very far from this place, a place of truth and balance and Stephanie acted like an anchor bringing me back to my inner strength. Allowing me to be vulnerable but truly strong because I was able to see more and more of my own truth. I also like to bring up her humanity; the way she connects with you is compassionate and loving. On a personal level she treats you as a person and connects to your feelings, interacting in a gentle way; honest and meaningful. I’d highly recommend you to consult with Stephanie and experience this connection, not only with her but with yourself. She facilitates this shift inwards and it gave me much clarity in how I function and what I needed to do for myself.
“There’s just some magic in truth, honesty and openness.”
Cara C, Vancouver, Canada
Stephanie is truly special. I have seen counsellor after counsellor throughout my life and nobody has understood me and made me feel comfortable in the way that she does. It was like an instant connection, which is not something that I have very often with people. There is something about her that just makes you want to tell her everything right away.
She comes at her counselling from such an honest, raw approach. I’ve found many counsellors in my past to “beat around the bush” or try to “sugar coat” things but Stephanie has never done that. She recognized that I need people to be upfront with me in order for it to get through to me and that is exactly what she has been able to provide. With no strict time limit on the sessions it allows us to dive deep into discussion and resolutions without feeling like we are about to be cut off. She has helped me to identify things about myself that I didn’t even realize prior to talking to her. Her intuitive and loving nature always makes it easy for me to look inside myself and share with her the deepest details of my life.
I would absolutely recommend Stephanie’s counselling to everyone. She is one of those people who you gain value from just by being in their presence, and I wholeheartedly believe that everyone could use the value that she provides. I am so grateful to have been recommended Stephanie by a friend because without the security of her guidance I would find it very difficult to navigate my past trauma and feelings. I look forward to each new session with her because I know that I will uncover more things about myself and learn new tools for handling them. If you’re looking for someone who is honest, deeply understanding, intuitive and able to guide you in the right direction then Stephanie is without a doubt the right choice!
“For the darkness to be wise, it must know the light; for the light to be wise, it must know the darkness.
”
TUHINA C, DEOGHAR, JHARKHAND, INDIA
Stephanie is one of the lovely ladies I have found in this lifetime. The first lesson on mindfulness and feeling the emotions and feelings fully, I got from her. Practicing that, I started appreciating every little thing in life. I started valuing every experience. It was then I started valuing even the darkness; for what is light without darkness? She always says, "The truth is always simple” - this too has helped me many times when I am stuck with complicated solutions for problems/challenges. She gave me insights and strategies in relation to some complex people I was dealing with at a point of time. She is such a sweet and compassionate sister-like friend with a lot of wisdom. I remember how I used to be sad without a child in my life. This was a time when I was judging myself, feeling powerless. She drew it back to me, what was going on inside and unlocking my feminine energy. Not being so reactive but responding instead. She could see a baby boy in my arms, she said. (Thanks to that vision.) That gave much hope to me and now I am actually blessed with a sweet boy. There are so many things I have got from her. So grateful to the universe for sending her to me. May she be a blessing to many!

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only we know our own darkness well can. we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognise our shared humanity.”
Paula H, Vancouver, Canada
Stephanie creates an atmosphere that invites communication and conversation. The fact that she leaves ample time for people to talk facilitates a relaxing environment that invites conversation. I found her to be profoundly real which allowed both myself and my partner to speak without censoring ourselves. Stephanie creates an environment that naturally facilitates truth building and communication. She is extremely and profoundly talented at counselling and I look forward to our future conversations.
doug c, california, USa
I knew about Stephanie through my wife, who had been doing sessions with her for many years. My wife asked me to do a couple session to re-calibrate where we both were in our marriage. Although I felt things were fine, I wanted to do this for her. I didn’t know what to expect, but it was a really nice experience in that we just talked about our perspectives, and how we can help each other understand each other better. The sessions are very productive and I always feel like I gained something from them. Ultimately, I thought I was doing this for my wife, but I really found out I was doing it for not only myself but our marriage. I’m really glad I did and I think you will too.
Immersive Experience

Darryl H, Vancouver Island, Canada
Hi Stephanie,
I wanted to reach out to you and express my gratitude for the Immersive Weekend experience.
It was extremely rewarding and the format allowed for a more in-depth exploration of the concepts. I really appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, which gave me more time to understand and digest everything. The other benefit was that there was not as much pressure and time constraint, so I feel we were able to more fully take everything in and it allowed more time for questions and discussion.
I highly recommend the format and found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable and invaluable experience.
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.”
Chris J, Hawaii, USA
I have been working with Stephanie for many years over Zoom and it’s been a key support pillar for me. The opportunity presented itself to work intensively together for a week. This took the form of an immersive experience where Stephanie and I were based in the same location and worked together each day.
The experience was incredible and really accelerated our work together. Being with her for a prolonged period physically really allowed me to dive deeper into some of the patterns we were already working on but also allowed things I wasn’t aware of to be seen for the first time. Stephanie holds an incredible space of healing. A safe space where anything and everything is allowed to be, which is such a gift, as it’s in these moments we have an opportunity to see parts of ourselves that we’ve been hiding away and protecting. Having spent this time together I walked away feeling like a new man. I’d been given the opportunity to meet myself at a much deeper level which has transformed my life. I highly recommend these Immersive Experiences with Stephanie. She’s a real gift and has the mastery of being able to unlock more and more love within our hearts which is priceless. Thank you Stephanie for all that you are and all that you share x
WORKSHOPS
‘ENVISION YOU’ - A VISION BOARD EVENING TO CONNECT YOU TO YOUR CORE VALUES
‘Envision You’ - Getting ready to guide people on an interesting and expressive journey, to be able to see themselves.
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”
shalin c, vancouver, canada
When I attended the vision board event, I have never felt more accepted and heard in a group of strangers. Stephanie took the time to spend with each and every single person in the room and made everyone feel included. She put so much time and care into every little detail of the evening. One of my favourite parts of the night was the charcuterie box with a custom crystal or stone for every person in attendance. I didn’t feel stressed out at all making my vision board and I learned so much about myself in the process. Working with Stephanie has changed my life in many ways and I am so grateful to be a client.
shalayne s, vancouver, canada
The structure of the evening was helpful, the explanation at the beginning in order to contextualise what the evening would look like, what we would touch on throughout the night was helpful. The handout with the core values described helped me understand where I sat with my value systems. I thought this was insightful as I think that isn’t something people normally reflect on.
We all got down to the practical work of cutting, pasting & arranging what would become our vision boards. It was exciting to share with others what was important to me but also really nice to have you pop round and share your insights. Watching you interpret intuitively what a friend was expressing with her board, how you tied images chosen with her childhood themes, seeing her have that realisation was really cool, then you did that with me as well. It was interesting as it was like we almost got a mini session just through expressing visually what we wanted to bring through in this life and to feel seen as we shared this with you.
The first 30 minutes of what you offered about discovering and understanding your core values came up throughout the conversations in the group. It was interesting to hear the commonality in people’s values and yet how differently we expressed these values. It was an open and trusting environment for people to be open and vulnerable and I feel everybody was able to get a lot out of it.

‘Sense Beyond Sense - Connecting to Your Intuition’
This was the first time I ever had a practical experience of integrating actual, tangible ways of consciously using (and getting in touch with) my intuition. It connected me to that power and wisdom I hold (we all hold) deep inside myself that I’ve so often previously ignored. This occurred in a way that really felt like an awakening for me. Not to mention it was fun! Short and snappy, lots of activities and exercises that engaged me. I can’t believe we covered so much in the time we had! This experience was truly valuable to me and is something I can further develop, integrate and grow into as I continue to reconnect to the ‘wise soul’ inside me.
Matt S, Vancouver, Canada
‘Sense Beyond Sense - Connecting to Your Intuition’
The intuition workshop that Stephanie runs was full of surprises. I learned a great deal, including how I stand to benefit from understanding and utilizing my intuition, and all the different ways I can put my intuition into practice. Stephanie is a great speaker and communicates eloquently, and I always felt connected and engaged during the workshop.
During the workshop we learned how to increase our awareness of our own intuition, the different methods and moments we can use our intuition, and how using our intuition can enrich our lives. At the end of the workshop I felt energized and uplifted, and was left satisfied but desiring to learn more. I will definitely be back to attend the workshop once again.
“My own intuition began to speak to me, though subtle and faint it’s voice was oddly familiar. ”
Teaghan T, Vancouver, Canada
‘Sense Beyond Sense - Connecting to Your Intuition’
I am a 19 year old male who attended Stephanie’s intuition workshop. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the workshop, having a loose understanding of the idea of intuition. I had an even less defined idea of what my own intuition was or how I might use it.
It quickly became clear to me exactly what we were focusing and working on as the workshop progressed. Through a series of activities I began to develop a much stronger sense of understanding intuition and it’s implementation into everyday life. My own intuition began to speak to me, though subtle and faint, it’s voice was oddly familiar. It didn’t use words but it tugged at the corners of my consciousness from a place beyond intellectual and analytical thought.
Coming into touch with it, a sense of relief came over me. It was as if I had opened a dusty old box from an attic, only to discover something sentimentally valuable that has been hidden away for years. Being someone who has struggled with remaining trapped in loops of thought obsessively, analyzing and critiquing situational decisions, finding another voice within my head that comes from a more sensitive and emotionally connected source, has proven to be very impactful in weathering the storms of a chaotic mind. If you’re curious to learn techniques you can use to help discover your own intuition or how recognize its presence, I would definitely recommend attending this workshop. Do so with an open mind and an open heart and I’m sure your experience shall be no less rewarding than my own.

I am so grateful to have met you and be touched by your incredible light and energy. You were so generous with your shoulder and your time. I can't thank you enough.
I haven't been the same since last Saturday which has sprung my healing journey into overdrive. I don't think I'll ever be the same which is a phenomenal thing for me.
This was taken at the last workshop I ran in Toronto. I'm happy to say it wasn't a photography workshop or my attendees would have been asking for a refund. It was an honour to have been a part of it as I witnessed some amazing breakthroughs.

‘Moving Beyond Fear’
Before I took part in the workshop, it was like like my feeling was done in my head, not my heart. Inside myself, I stood back from people, almost doubtful - watching. Through the tools you shared with us, the stories and relaxation exercises, something in me let go. In the safe environment you created, with everyone being real, I felt myself open. The next day and since then I've experienced a transformation. I relate to people differently now and my relationships have deepened and grown. I've grown.

‘Moving Beyond Fear’
I want you to know how beneficial the workshop was for me. The biggest thing that came out of it for me was opening up my heart. I'm so much calmer, and even my tone sounds different when I'm thinking from the heart instead of the head. I've used this all week towards others and towards myself, and I noticed that the change is instantaneous! I'm immediately in a position of empathy. This approach calms me down, takes the anxiety away, and melts whatever fear.
But it's a celebration, and I've got more done this last week than in months past.
I really liked the way you teach, you took the time to let us ingest, and express our experiences. You gave relatable examples. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Talks
“You reveal your idea of self in everything you do. You are not who you think you are.
Let go of everything you think you know.”

Stephanie’s approach to group work is very open and informal, creating a relaxed environment from the moment you enter the room. Her “Invitation From You to You” talk/workshop is essentially an introduction to what she will provide you with going forward in one on one sessions. She intuits and sheds light on a few control dramas or “constructs” that everyone in the room will connect with, while giving different solutions to common problems. This workshop offers you a moment to listen to yourself and gives space to see what you are really in need of, with Stephanie guiding the conversation.

‘An Invitation From You to You’
Stephanie’s talk was a very personally revealing experience. The group setting was a new thing for me and I found it very interesting to see how similar strangers can be. It really helped me to look closer at behaviours and thought patterns that I hold onto, that I didn't realize so many others did as well. The group setting was comforting and welcoming, and helped me to share my own thoughts after hearing other people share theirs. It gave me encouragement to be more open, and really think about how I face certain situations while giving me tools to approach life with more certainty
