Testimonials 

I have trained with Stefana in-person and online for about 10 years. She is a true visionary in weaving together dance therapy, movement and embodiment, myth and psychological development, trauma-informed healing, nature connection, and feminine shamanic spirituality in her powerfully transformative body of work. Her embodied presence of what she teaches is evident in how she guides students and groups into a felt and lived experience of the teachings. It is difficult to articulate the power of this work. As a psychotherapist, I use the skills of the Deep Body to invite my clients into their bodies and “move” their process, which always proves to be so much more helpful than talking about it. As a community ritualist and facilitator of healing, the Deep Body techniques offer a way to get the group connected, enlivened and altered out of their normal ways of being and into a fuller reality of themselves and life itself. The Deep Body comes through in all the ways that I facilitate healing, and how I move through the world as a human.

What is unique about Stefana’s teaching style is her blend of the soulful with the academic, the mythic with the scientific. Her development of the Deep Body Model and Deep Body journeys to be nothing short of genius! She has given me a wealth of knowledge in navigating the mysterious territories of the body, psyche, and nature. As a certified Deep Body Practitioner, I apply the methods to women’s circles & retreats, astrology readings, artist mentorships and music lessons. The Deep Body Model is truly universal, relevant to any field in which people are seeking to be more embodied. I have personally seen dozens of my clients transform as I did through these studies and practices.

Yes! As a coach and psychologist I am now very easily able to help female clients remember (their) feminine intuition. This gives them self confidence.

Every day gratitude fills my heart for having made the choice to do the training. I see myself and my patterns much more clearly than ever before, and have the ability now to choose to be an active participant in my own life, and how I show up to challenges.

The Deep Body Facilitation training equipped me with the knowledge, insight, and experience to feel confident as an embodiment guide. It is an intensive program with a seamless blend of intellect, soul, and embodied practice that will support you in cultivating your inner knowing, so that you feel empowered to take the leap and guide others into meeting the deep wisdom and beauty of their own bodies.

The Movement & Embodiment Facilitator Training is the ultimate guide to facilitating transformational embodiment work that seamlessly weaves together theory, practice, creative tools, marketing and branding knowledge, in addition to access to a wealth of resources and information from the top educators in the field of embodiment. So grateful!

Before this training, I knew I could follow Stefana's guidance in a workshop or class into the deeper layers of my body, soul and psyche and be profoundly moved. However, I wasn't aware that I could guide myself, and guide others with my own embodied intelligence. This training helped me tune my body like an instrument, so that I am perceptive and deeply aware of the way in which it communicates its wisdom and guidance to me through the senses, its instincts and impulses, creativity, and connection to the greater field in which we are all a part of. This is essential knowledge, not just for embodiment facilitators or movers, but for all humans who want to know how to authentically connect with themselves, each other, and our greater purpose on earth.

An incredible experience that exceeded all my expectations. I received incredible support from the trainers in finding a way to implement my newly learned skills in expanding the scope of my photography work. Not only did I deepen my understanding of somatic-based approaches, but I was also able to explore my personal growth and develop skills to facilitate embodied practice and expression. What made this training even more special was the amazing connection with the rest of the women in the program. We formed a supportive community, shared our experiences, and supported each other even after the training ended.

This training is a potent, intuitive container to engage with women and the body.  It gives you tools and support to navigate your own desires, skills, and talents, coupled with such rich relationships with powerful women committed to this impactful and needed work in the world today!
