Client Experiences

Stephanie’s outstanding program have allowed me to fully recover from my illness, avoiding surgery. Her work is truly groundbreaking.

Julia Genoyer

I returned from a Qigong retreat and I was absolutely amazed at what I experienced! I learned how to move my energy and tap into a deep source of strength and serenity.

Chef Cynthia Louise

Stephanie is an extraordinary person, very generous, and very knowledgeable about what she is doing. I never thought Qigong could give me more insight than the exercises itself. The spiritual path, the breathing, the movements, the energy, the flow, is just a complete set of wonderful experiences that lifted up my life to another level.

William

Steph used a myriad of essential oils and special blends that soothed my nerves and alleviated my anxiety, that for once in many months, I fell into a deep sleep during the session. I could attest that that was by far, one of the most relaxed state I’ve ever been in and I’m just so convinced that the therapy works. Steph is one of the rare health and wellness practitioners I’ve ever worked with who is completely genuine, absolutely generous with her time and knowledge, and who sincerely wants the best for her clients.

Fizah

I would like to share our sincere thanks for Stephanie’s guidance and treatment given to our son Tenzing in connection with his eczema. He suffered so badly with the condition across all parts of the body for most of his life. Having tried so many conventional treatments with only limited success, it was incredible to see the transformation from his severe condition to the complete disappearance of the skin condition.

Jordan Oliver Lin

Steph has a gentle yet powerful touch in all she does. She brings love, care and intuition so naturally in her voice, hands and being. I always find myself feeling more relaxed, nurtured and enriched after sessions with Steph.

Kristin Giacopelli

My relationship with Stephanie is a treasured one and I appreciate every moment spent listening, sharing, and learning from her. The workshops she arranges are always interesting and useful for daily life. And her consultations are very useful for discovering more about why we keep suffering the same problems and how to change it. She shows immense passion in what she does and together with her vast knowledge of attaining optimal health and wellbeing.

Melanie Jones

Stephanie’s gift for teaching and flowing her wisdom, insights and practice to others was evident to me in my first Qigong class.

Jan Webb

I have had the pleasure to work with Stephanie during the early stage of a wellbeing and wellness package for a luxury five star resort in Bali. The resort is the flagship for the brand’s Wellbeing initiative. I also joined one of her Qigong classes and it was one of the most calming and relaxing experiences for me in a long time. Stephanie is definitely the expert for those seeking wellbeing in the truest sense. I would definitely love to work with her again in the future!
