The Path That Led Here
Before becoming a life coach, Steph built a dynamic career as an international advertising executive in Amsterdam, a yoga instructor, and the founder of a marketing consultancy. Each chapter taught her something vital about human connection, resilience, and the importance of living with intention.
Her greatest transformation, however, came in 2023, when her marriage ended. What began as a breaking point became a breakthrough — the experience that reshaped not just her life, but her purpose.
That season of uncertainty revealed the heart of her work: helping women navigate the raw, beautiful, and often messy process of rediscovering themselves after major life transitions.
Steph lives in Bend, Oregon with her three amazing kids and their yellow lab, Sabrina. Together, they fill their days with hiking, skiing, travel, and spontaneous adventure. She believes that healing doesn’t happen by running from your story — it happens when you finally embrace it.
A Coaching Approach Rooted in Truth and Compassion
Steph’s coaching blends empathy, curiosity, and real-world strategy to help women find steady ground and reconnect with their inner strength. She calls the space between endings and new beginnings “the void” — the place where transformation truly begins.
Having walked that path herself, Steph understands how uncomfortable and uncertain it can feel. But she also knows the light that waits on the other side — when you finally stop fighting what was and begin creating what’s next.
Her clients learn to shift from “we” to “me” — awakening parts of themselves that may have been dormant for years. This evolution is what she calls the 2.0 self: the powerful, intentional version of you that’s ready to rise.
