I walked into breathwork with Stephanie as a victim of domestic violence. I felt trapped and stuck. I walked out feeling like a survivor. I felt so empowered. I was able to clearly see the connection between my childhood and current situation and I don’t want that for my daughter. Since the session I have taken the necessary steps to secure my safety.

My office had the privilege of hosting Stephanie for a powerful Elemental Rhythm Breathwork session. It was a night to remember! Such a beautiful time of hard work, deep processing, and releasing of stored trauma and stress.

I’m a neuroscience nerd, and this process is LEGIT to access that stored junk and release it. I had a powerful experience of releasing some old wounds and even stored medical trauma from major brain surgery six years ago (stuff I wasn’t even awake for, but my body absolutely remembers).

The body keeps the score, folks, and healing is WORK. But it’s the greatest gift you can give yourself and the people you love - yourself, healthy and whole.

— Melissa Winston, Therapist and owner of 510 Counseling Group

I saw myself for the first time in breathwork. The real me. Not the one that I’ve been pretending to be to keep myself safe. I realized the reason I’ve always felt so lonely was because I didn’t know myself. I didn’t need others. I needed me.

— Carrie T, teacher

I'm a Clinical Psychologist and I have done so much education, research, training, and tried so many different experiential healing modalities in the 20+ years of my career and Stephanie's Breath work is easily one of the most powerful healing experiences I have encountered. She is a beautiful and kind soul that truly understands what is necessary for healing, awareness, growth, and expansion to process unresolved issues and be able to move forward in life in a healthy, empowered, and meaningful way.

Her method is flawless as she beautifully integrates so many powerful healing modalities into her breath work experience for a full immersive experience. She provides education up front so you know exactly what is going to happen and the science behind it. She uses shaking, music, breathing, sound bowl, instruments, essential oils, and powerful prompts, demonstration, and guided meditation that makes the experience so easy to follow along with as she guides you through your healing journey. She walks you through the whole process, does the breathing throughout the experience so you can just emulate her and know exactly what to do instead of getting lost in your thoughts wondering if you're doing it right.

She has mastered a beautiful and powerful skill set that will create one of the most amazing experiences of your life and will facilitate more processing in one hour than most people will accomplish in months of therapy. Stephanie creates a rich, profound, powerful, and valuable experience that will enhance your life forever! If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend one of her events, it is well worth your time and whatever cost to check it out. Your current, future, and past selves will thank you immensely as you will be forever changed. Thank you Stephanie for all you do for everyone. Keep sharing your gift and blessing those around you. I appreciate you immensely.

If you are even thinking about trying out a Rising Phoenix Breathwork session with Stephanie…DO IT. It is an incredibly meaningful experience. But setting aside all of the depth and transcendence... being a better breather literally makes you better at everything. You will learn how to breathe better for every situation. And if you happen to heal, open, or grow in the process... bonus points, if you ask me.

I went to a session without fully knowing what a breathwork session even was. I just knew that I was holding a lot of weight on my shoulders and needed to process some things.

Stephanie carefully explained the process and was an excellent facilitator. I never felt like I was "doing it wrong" and I felt safe to be vulnerable. 

By the end of the breathwork rounds, I felt fully in my body and SAFE for the first time in my life. 

At one point during the nature walk, I slid on the gravel and the other attendees physically supported me and prevented me from falling. It was a great metaphor for what I needed to feel, hear, and process that day. The group container added to the experience for me and I felt supported by the others in the room.

Since the session I have approached life with boldness. Pushing myself in my business and personal life. I feel happier than ever.  I can't recommend it enough and there are so many people I would drag to this if I could.

— Max Sheffield-Baird, business owner

The experience was hard to describe. Letting go, clearing the fog, drowning out everything that is unnecessary. Feeling the colors, tasting the sounds, tingling in your fingers and toes, emotions flood. Facing the things you typically try to set aside or block out–seeing them from a different perspective.

Stephanie is amazing! Even stepping into the same room as her gives off a warm, safe and comforting aura. I came in with vast and vague goals, as there’s so many aspects of life that could always use some tlc. 

In a loud, fast paced world and minds to match, I wondered if a session would be long enough to actually reach a meditative state, but in session my concept of time was skewed. It didn’t take long at all with the environment provided! Being guided and coached with music, instruments, praises, scents, visual sensory deprivation isn’t just something you can do full force at home with a YouTube tutorial.

A favorite that stood out to me was “shaking” therapy and will definitely utilize that more often! Putting on a blinding mask and feeling my body follow a rhythm, or stray from that rhythm and release primal movements like no other…It was simply beautiful to have a safe space to let go with movements of purpose from my head to my toenails.

With my next future sessions I hope to work on every possible scope of a self healing journey we should all explore!! Personal, professional, relationships, familial or otherwise, trauma, faults or downfalls, self esteem, future goals….- the list goes on!

I have struggled to meditate since my baby was born. My brain is constantly thinking of the something I need to do. When I come to breathwork, I focus on the breath. I follow directions and before I know it, my mind is still and I'm deep in meditation.
