the healing you deserve

THE STORY

I'm Stefanie, a licensed therapist and intuitive healer serving individuals in Iowa who are done with surface-level solutions.

Here's what you need to know about me: I've always been intuitive. I've always been able to sense what's happening beneath the surface—what someone isn't saying, what their body is holding, what needs to heal even when they can't articulate it.

But for years, I didn't lead with that. I kept it quiet. I stayed in the clinical lane because that's what I thought being a "credible therapist" required.

What I came to realize is: this can cost you clients, my sanity, and years of less effective & slower healing for who I serve.

Because while I was trained in evidence-based protocols and therapeutic frameworks (and those absolutely have value), I knew there was a deeper layer we weren't touching. A layer where the real transformation happens—in the energetic body, the subconscious, the intuitive wisdom that doesn't speak in words.

So I stopped hiding. I trained formally in Reiki and Theta Healing—not to become intuitive, but to integrate what I'd always known into a structured, repeatable approach that serves my clients at the deepest level.

So I stopped hiding. I trained formally in Reiki and Theta Healing—not to become intuitive, but to integrate what I'd always known into a structured, repeatable approach that serves my clients at the deepest level.

Now, I work at the intersection of clinical expertise and intuitive healing. And everything I was trained to do in grad school? It's more powerful when it's combined with the gifts I was born with.

Traditional talk therapy operates almost entirely in the mind. And while the mind is powerful, it's not where most of our pain lives. Our pain lives in our body—in our nervous system, our energetic field, the subconscious beliefs we've been carrying since childhood.

You can't think your way out of a nervous system that's been stuck in survival mode for 20 years. You can't CBT your way out of an energetic block. You can't positive-affirmation your way past a soul-level wound.

So I learned to work differently.

I trained in Reiki, in Theta Healing, in somatic and energetic modalities that allow me to meet my clients where the real work is happening—not in their thoughts, but in their body, their energy, and their intuition.

And I'm not done evolving.

In 2026, I'm completing clinical hypnotherapy certification—because hypnotherapy is one of the most direct pathways to the subconscious mind, where the real reprogramming happens. While Reiki clears energetic blockages and Theta connects us to your higher self, hypnotherapy allows us to rewrite the actual neural pathways and belief systems that have been running your life on autopilot.

It's the missing piece I've been seeking—another tool that honors the truth I've always known: lasting change doesn't happen by convincing your conscious mind to think differently. It happens by accessing the subconscious and updating the operating system.

Hypnotherapy will allow me to work even more precisely with clients who are ready for rapid, deep transformation. And just like with Reiki and Theta, I won't be offering it as a side service—it'll be integrated into how I help you heal at the root.

This is where real change happens.

MY APPROACH

This is therapy for individuals who are ready to stop managing their pain and start releasing it.

I work at the intersection of clinical expertise and intuitive healing.

I'm a licensed therapist with years of training in evidence-based modalities—CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, mindfulness. I know the research. I understand the brain. I can speak the language of traditional mental health.

But I also know that's not enough.

So I integrate Reiki and Theta Healing into every session—not as a side offering, but as the foundation of how I work. Because your healing doesn't happen in a vacuum. It happens when we bring your mind, body, energy, and soul into alignment.

Here's what that means for you:

  • You already know what you need to heal. My job is to help you access it.

  • Anxiety isn't just a thought pattern—it's an energetic imprint. We clear it at the source.

  • Your body has been trying to tell you something for years. We finally listen.

You're exactly where you need to be.

Who I Serve

I work with primarily teens and adults in Iowa who:

  • Have tried traditional therapy and felt like something was missing

  • Are driven and tired of "holding it together"

  • Value personal development and are open to holistic approaches

  • Are ready to stop talking about their healing and start experiencing it

  • Trust their intuition (or want to learn how)
