All we have is              the present moment. 

You may be feeling down and noticing spiraling thoughts affecting your ability to focus. You may be struggling with a direction in life, filled with "what if's" about what's next, realizing it's time to seek professional help outside your family and friends.

​

This is the moment to make a change and I will be there every step of the way.

​

I'm Stephanie Owen and I help individuals just like you wanting to feel more confident, balanced and have a better sense of self. You may be trying all you can on your own but finding it's not enough and need support to get there.

You deserve to feel at peace and re-powered within.

Navigating any change can be scary. The loneliness often creates a disconnection from ourselves and others. This can also be an opportunity strengthen parts of you that have become dormant. 

 

I can be a support to lean on, help you gain clarity, and equip you with tools to clear your mind and ultimately focus on what's most important: YOU. I am committed to supporting you with authenticity and creating a calm space to show up, release and reconnect.

Using mindfulness and your strengths, together we can support you in acknowledging, addressing and accepting the unknown.

 

Through research-based strategies, I can help you recenter yourself and hold thoughts at a distance to experience them non-judgmentally instead of automatically reacting to them as absolute truth.

 

I can help you communicate better to live more congruently. Our work can allow you to shift your perspective and limiting beliefs towards a more

fulfilling life.
