Sister. You are aching for change–
for a fuller, more aligned chapter of life
Whether you have been longing for change for years or life has brought it upon you and you can’t turn it away– you know it’s time to complete what has been and fully claim what is next.
You may be unraveling a long-held identity—a career shifting, a life phase changing, (peri)menopause arriving, or an old version of yourself coming to completion. Perhaps a dream or an old life must be grieved and released so a new one can take root. And even if your metamorphosis doesn't have a clear name, you feel the quiet knowing that something must shift, your spirit hungers for more, and a deeper truth is calling you forward.
Whatever the form, deeper change is always a rite of passage. It asks for more than we can do alone. And that is what Threshold offers–
A powerful space for crossing into the life that feels aligned now–with guidance, community, and the deep, sensory, feminine voice of your body.
Threshold is a transformative small-group journey for women in transition or inner impasse– an alchemical container to reconnect with the wisdom of your deep body, awaken embodied feminine genius, and collaborate with land, community, the ancestral feminine, and each other—so you can emerge into a deeply aligned new chapter.
A rite of passage journey in the old ways of body, women, and the land
Threshold is both a practical and ritualized container for you to complete what needs completion and mark your rite of passage. It is a space to deepen and affirm your sense of self, confront your shadows, tend the parts that resist transformation, gather your forces, and– as we might say in the mythic language of Bone Woman– reassemble the bones of your skeleton into the shape of who you are becoming.
Here, you gather with kindred women to source the deeper ground you need to meet change. Through Deep Body journeying, embodied story and mythic craft, ancestral feminine work, and intuitive movement, you draw on the intelligence of body, land, and community, to emerge renewed—aligned with who you are now, trusting your truth and your voice, infused with your own sensuality and vitality, fully expressed, spiritually attuned, and walking in purpose.
Is this your call?

“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.”

our 6 months together :
MONTHLY
Deep BODY JOURNEY WORK at the threshold
The first of two monthly live calls led by Stefana is a Deep Body journey that blends intuitive movement, story, mythic insight, and ancestral feminine work. This is the alchemical, high-touch space where you will explore the patterns and personal mythology that have guided you thus far—and begin aligning with the changes calling you forward.

Threshold is a call to...
-
Reconnect with the wisdom languages of your deeper body—physical, emotional, erotic, perceptive, expressive, and collective—and learn to live by their guidance. This in itself is a life-changing aspect of our work.
-
Receive loving, in-depth, alchemical mentorship from Stefana
-
Stand in the transformative space of the threshold with vulnerability, curiosity, and awareness– not pushing for change you’re not ready for, but slowly allowing the change that ripens when you connect to your deeper feminine guidance, inner resources, and the pulsing web of life.
-
Complete what has been- in an authentic and meaningful way, so you can become the soil for what is calling you next
-
Work with transformative story and embodied personal mythology to access the ancestral feminine psyche within your body, make it your ally, and harness it as your change-making power.
-
Reweave and strengthen your bond with Place and Land through consistent body and nature work you will be supported to do. Nature and the living world and your connection to their animate intelligence will be integral to your crossing of the Threshold- regardless of the geography you live in.
-
Tap and cultivate your embodied feminine genius, freeing life force and resources to create lasting change– aligned with who you are now, rooted in your truth, voice, and purpose, infused by your own sensuality and vitality, emotionally and spiritually attuned.
-
Be held and transformed by Community– where a small group of women become both companions and catalysts in your metamorphosis.

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!

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.

I love Stefana’s ability to hold space, to lead by example. She takes you by the hand and yet gives you so much possibilities and freedom to discover. I feel held, seen, guided, accented and inspired by her presence, by her groundedness and authenticity.
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.
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.
I am an embodiment guide and mentor, a Deep Body Movement facilitator, and founder of the Deep Body Institute where I train people to apply our transformative methods in their own work.
I also think of myself as a change doula whose medicine is to create space for what's possible for people. In the last few years, I discovered that working with people 1-on-1 with the witness and support of a small, closely woven, loving community is the most powerful format to help people through their thresholds—and this program is designed to provide exactly that.
Threshold brings together all of the threads I have been carrying in my many years as a guide and human: Deep Body and rites of passage work, collaborating with nature as a living guide and ally, movement and community as transformative forces.
The most common phrase in testimonials from those I’ve worked with? “This changed my life!”

How I work
Simply put, I work with the body as the wisest one in the room. 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 help you see the essential keys to your journey that may have become invisible or lost to you.
I guide you to acknowledge, reclaim, and reconcile parts of yourself that have become exiled, isolated, abandoned, so you can feel integrated and whole again
I help you get honest to the bone about your deeper longings– and about your self-imposed holdbacks
I support you in tapping 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.
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 the Deep Body Work, which people have called "life giving and life-changing", "pure alchemy", and a "masterful remembrance of who we really are."
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 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.

'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.'

Expanded in your body and nervous system capacity to hold what you truly desire.
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 that was ripening inside me– without a map for how I would do such a thing.
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 hundreds of 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...
