Crossing the
Threshold
1 on 1 mentorship with Stefana Serafina
for mature women in seasons of deep change and emergence
Deepen your embodied inner trust and authority, reclaim parts of yourself that have been silenced or hidden, bring closure to what must end, and draw on your deepest body, psyche, and soul resources to step into a new chapter with purpose and clarity.
Transitions are not just about surviving change—they're about claiming your fullest life and standing wholly in who you must be
Applications for the current Mentorship Cycle open now
Dear one~ If you are here, I imagine you find yourself in the tunnels of change?
Transitions are often painful and disorienting. They can bring us to that mythic and practical rock bottom, and leave us there for a long time.
This mentorship is for you– standing at the edge of what has been and what must come next.
Perhaps you are navigating the unraveling of a long-held identity—a career transforming, a life phase shifting, (peri)menopause arriving, a younger version of yourself coming to completion, or a dream that never came to pass must be grieved and released so another one can take root?
Perhaps you are gestating a new vision that will take all of your power and courage to bring into the world?
Or perhaps you find yourself in the aftermath of loss—leaving a role, a home, a relationship.
You may be letting go of a life you once built with devotion, or a certainty you once held, surrendering now to the change that must take place, and calling in the new life that you can't yet see but you know you belong to.
Some changes don’t even have a clear name—only the quiet knowing that something must shift, that a deeper truth is trying to happen.

I can honestly say that Stefana's instruction has changed the course of my life, given me tools to positively influence my health and spirituality, and expand my self expression as an artist and facilitator. The Threshold mentorship allowed me to get in touch with an inner wisdom and authority that made all the difference!
The Mentorship
True change is a rite of passage. A metamorphosis. Both a dark night of the soul and a tour de force. And you don't have to walk alone.
There’s a reason big change can feel like a dark night of the soul... Your sense of self is fiercely tested and, with that, a powerful opportunity for realignment emerges– if you dare to take it.
As a change doula, I am honored to walk with you all the way to the other side—to guide you into your deepest embodied resources, officiate your crossing of the threshold, and welcome you into your next chapter.
My role is to :
-
help you see the essential keys to your journey that may have become invisible or lost to you
-
help you access the most powerful resources of your deep body, psyche, and spirit, that you may have never fully claimed.
-
guide you through the Deep Body model into reclaiming, restoring, and reconciling parts of yourself that have become exiled, isolated, abandoned, so you can feel integrated and whole again
-
help you get honest to the bone about your deeper longings– and about your self-imposed holdbacks
-
help you complete what has been- in a deeply authentic way, so you can become the soil for what is calling you next
-
help you tap into the web of ancestral and elemental support that is already holding you, so you don’t dwell endlessly in the tunnel of change– or veer from the path that’s truly yours.
-
stand with you in the doubts, fears, and uncertainty of the threshold—without letting them take you hostage
-
guide you to open up to a new vision for your life and begin to inhabit it
-
empower your wings for the change, and see you through the threshold
With deep care and respect, I help you lay to rest and honor the woman you have been thus far—
to complete the roles and duties of your younger self—so you can welcome a deeply mature and aligned selfhood and take the steps that have felt impossible or elusive until now.

"What Stefana transmits and teaches has been the missing part for me. She makes it complete in a way that no other has done."
Hi,I'm Stefana
For over 15 years, I have guided women from most every corner of the world through deep body, soul, and nature journeys, helping them reclaim their embodied authority and personal genius, so they can cross important thresholds in their lives.
The single most common phrase in testimonials from those I’ve worked with?
“This changed my life!”
But are WE a good fit? I would say yes if the following resonates:
How I work
When you choose to step into the mentorship, a powerful container is cast for our work together–and for your breakthrough.
Simply put, I work with the body as the wisest one here. At every stage of your journey, I guide you into its many intelligences– physical, emotional, sensual, expressive, intuitive, and mythic/collective—where the guidance for your next steps already resides.
I don’t tell you how to change—I help you access the unmistakable guidance of your body and deeper psyche, and embody one by one the small changes needed for the greater metamorphosis.
I don’t just help you navigate change—I support you in fully embodying it, so that alignment isn’t a fleeting moment, but a way of being.
Embodied change is my craft. The Deep Body method, which I developed and which is now practiced by facilitators worldwide, is above all a method for creating—and allowing—the change we need.
Our work together is not done in isolation. My approach is deeply connected to the lands, waters, the bones of our ancestors in the ground– the animate web of life to which we belong. We call upon all of these intelligences—and I am committed to helping you live rooted in their support.
I don’t rush you to claim what is not yet ripe. The true gift of this work is to honor and fully complete what still lingers, so the new fruit can grow.
I don’t tell you where to go—I help you see the path already forming beneath your feet.
My tools include a unique blend of Deep Body Movement & embodied/somatic journeying, archetypal and ancestral psychology, the expressive arts, nature work, and down-to-earth ceremony & ritual– all converging in a unique method I call Deep Body Work, called "life giving and life-changing", "pure alchemy", a "masterful remembrance of who we really are."

Alexandra Almond, Australia
'The mentorship with Stefana has been one of the most deeply impactful experiences of my life. In her subtle, safe, compassionate yet strong way and her body based methods, she supported me through family sexual trauma, relationship dynamics and fertility and miscarriage struggles. I grew more whole and developed a greater depth of love and respect for myself. The mentorship transformed the outer expression of my life in many profound ways including my work, my marriage, becoming a mother, how I choose to live– and the transitions in between.'

Focuses of Mentorship
I offer three distinct focuses of the mentorship:
Threshold Change Mentorship (classic mentorship, as described above): Focusing on powerful change and your rite-of-passage journey into a wise and aligned selfhood.
Alternative Focuses
Sensual Root Threshold Mentorship: A journey of healing and reclaiming the power of your feminine body and sensual anatomy. We work to transform the stories, wounds, and transgressions imprinted on your fem anatomy, and restore your innate sovereignty and fem power.
Business & Leadership Threshold Mentorship: A creative vision and business mentorship for entrepreneurs in the healing and embodiment arts, designed to help you cross the threshold into deeper expression, sustainability, and impact.

“Working with Stefana has changed my life. The shift was not simply talked about– It was moved. Felt. Embodied. Lived. It is infusing into the way I teach. The way I love. The way I speak. And what she offered feels so true to me, it is not a system I've had to master. It was opening up to life. So simple. So powerful. So real.”
Myrthe Steenweg,
the Netherlands
Stefana travelled with me into the deeper layers of my bodily wisdom and my subconscious world. No one but Stefana could travel with me there, where I felt mirrored by her depth. She could see me and acknowledged me in places where I have never been acknowledged. Her intuitive intelligence showed me different angels of the stories I'd been telling myself so a whole new story could emerge.
Change and transformation are my profession, but also at the foundation of my personal path
Following my sense of purpose and my heart has often meant freefalling into trust—rarely the easy road, but always the true one.
I’ve moved my life across an ocean—twice. I left a powerhouse career in journalism at its peak to be truer to my heart and create a body of work from scratch. I’ve traveled alone to stay in shaman’s huts deep in the Amazon jungle, in Maya villages that only recently had contact with the modern world, and in the remote desert of Death Valley, without food or shelter, “to cry for a vision”, as the indigenous people of those lands would say.
I have plenty of credentials and training, but I have learned most of what I know from my aching sensitivity and my body's ability to tune into the subtleties most people ignore, from a lifelong diagnosis on my womb that took me on a journey of reclaiming my body and femininity, and– more than everything– from the women I’ve worked with around the world, and their powerful, wise bodies.
I am– in indigenous terms– an initiated woman (Feel free to ask about this)
And I believe a woman should know when it's time to claim her sword...
Investment & Taking the Leap
This is a high-touch, high priority mentorship where I am consistently available to support your process, needs, and journey as they unfold. The container is shaped around you— your timing, your threshold, and what’s most alive for you— so our work remains deeply responsive throughout.
I offer progressive pricing, where your investment decreases as the length of our work together increases. Plans start at $2500-3000 and a minimum commitment of 4 months. I’d be happy to share more details and connect via video/phone to answer any questions, explore the possibility, and help you make an informed decision.
