Stephanie has trained with the Animas Valley Institute, Haven Institute, Wilderness Awareness School, and Martín Prechtel, and holds a degree in literature.

She is a wilderness personal guide, and studied with Animas Valley Institute and Francis Weller among others. She works with people toward recovering their wholeness, uncovering their gifts, and applying these in their lives and for the good of their community. She has experienced wilderness as a powerful ally in these tasks.
She is personally interested in supporting deep and courageous transformations driven by the participants. One of Stephanie’s focus is to support the weaving of authentic experiences and visions with the person’s embodied life. She’s a firm supporter of people’s authentic voices and helps them be heard. She uses dream images, guided journeys and somatic practices to help clarify the thread to deep experience, and support integration and manifestation.
Some of Stéphanie’s integration work is brought into psychedelic-assisted therapy as she is legally trained to support the use of psilocybin, MDMA and Ketamine.
