My Story

About Stephanie

Changing your life, your health and your weight is not easy. I know because I did it myself.

Twenty three years ago, I weighed 246 lbs and suffered from chronic ulcers, insomnia, dental work, IBS and fatigue; the effects of a stressful personal and professional life took a serious toll on my health. When it came to weight loss, I tried every program available, but nothing worked for me! When it came to treating the physical and mental exhaustion I was experiencing, one doctor’s recommendation was to rely solely on anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medications. So I stopped listening to other people and I started listening to myself.

I was determined to heal naturally, from a foundational level. I educated myself, found an amazing array of health practitioners to support my healing and truly became the master of my own health. I lost over 100 pounds and have stayed at a very healthy weight ever since. I feel clearer and have more energy than I did in my 20’s! I went back to school, trained with top professionals in my field and eventually developed our own unique system for Solaris Whole Health.

I now have the privilege of educating and helping others on their healing journeys. As devoted as I was to transforming my own life, I am now committed to helping others unlock their own personal puzzle and strive towards optimal health.

I believe that everyone deserves to be free to live the life they desire.
