Stephanie's Life Path

STEPH'S JOURNEY

Hello, my name is Stephanie Kittell, your holistic empowerment guide, and I invite you to RISE & THRIVE with me!

 

I see you, standing at the edge of significant life shifts; afraid to fall, unable to turn back, yet ready to fly!

It’s no joke. This moment is real. Raw. Wild as the wind. 

And though it may feel earth-shatteringly lonely… Let me assure you. You are not alone. 

 

I’ve been there too. 

 

Oh my goodness, have I been there!

I spent over a decade climbing the corporate digital media ladder. I became part of a well-oiled propaganda machine, helping others build their castles in the sky.

 

Contrary to popular belief; money, status, and material goods did not buy me happiness.

 

Drug and alcohol abuse distracted me for a while. 

 

But the truth is, beneath the perfect facade; I felt lost, depleted, and desperate to express my true nature. 

Simultaneously, I began exploring the worlds of yoga and meditation. I viscerally remember the first time I became fully aware of the sensation of breathing in my body. And I knew there was no turning back. 

 

Countless yoga trainings and many years later, on a silent meditation retreat, I allowed the truth to permeate me.

 

My inner voice was speaking loud and clear. The cost of ignoring it was becoming too high. It was time to walk a new path, guided by the wild wisdom within.

 

And so I did. Step by empowered step, I found my voice...

Over time, I divorced my husband as compassionately as possible, exited my corporate career, transitioned into working as a full-time yoga & wellness teacher, launched my own businesses, sold my home ownership share, shed most of my belongings, and left my home in Canada to travel the world and live abroad. 

That was 7 years ago. 

 

I enriched my personal healing and professional study with sound healing and voice activation trainings, shamanic arts, indigenous wisdom initiations, and plant medicine work.

I began to truly RISE & THRIVE, both as a student and as a teacher.

And it is my great joy to pass the torch, to guide people like you in developing embodied awareness, and empowered expression in all aspects of your life. 

I'm devoted to helping you RISE into your next life chapter, claim your true voice, and THRIVE in a holistic, deeply embodied way.

Wings up - let's soar!

Step into this vibrant, dynamic space where your voice is celebrated, your journey is honoured, and your potential is limitless.

Curious?

 

Let's talk!

TESTIMONIALS

Cait Rainey client testimonial

Caitlynn Rainey

"Working with Stephanie has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Over the past year, our online sessions have helped me navigate through my most challenging waters.

 

As a yogi, mentor, spiritual coach, and meditation teacher, Stephanie holds a very safe, authentic and grounded space for self exploration, while guiding you on a journey to explore the totality of you in relation to life itself. Her ability to meet you where you're at, hold a true Space of Love and offer insight and tools to empower change and growth is absolutely amazing."

Meighan client testimonial

Meg Kwiatkowsky

“To label my time with Steph as ‘voice activation’, seems to limit what I received from our sessions together. Something like, ‘a remembering: a journey back home to self & the power that lies within’ seems to be more appropriate.

 

My throat chakra was blocked. I was convinced I was tone deaf. I had never sang out loud in front of people.  Steph created a container that was based in radical, unconditional love & divine play allowing my nervous system to settle, vulnerability to flow, and which gave my expression the freedom it was yearning for. 

Sophie client testimonial

Sophie Krensky

“I keep returning to Steph's offerings again and again.

 

I've now participated in two retreats with her in Guatemala that helped return me to my body and intuition during transitional times in my life, and have enjoyed her ceremonial and space-holding sessions over Zoom.

 

Singing, meditating, and reflecting with Steph is so deeply healing!

 

She is deeply empathetic, perceptive, and generous - an oasis of calm and wisdom in a frantic world.”

Dave client testimonial

Dave Evans

“My time with Stephanie has changed my life. l had meditated for years but didn’t really learn anything until I started with her.

 

Now when I am angry or sad, I can examine how I am feeling and try to figure out where those feelings came from. I can let them go and continue with my day.

 

It’s a pleasure to be able to stop feedback loops of thoughts that don’t serve any useful purpose.

 

I see myself studying with Stephanie for a long time to come.

Namaste hands in nature

Emma O'Dwyer

“Stephanie is my motivator, mentor, cheerleader and friend. She has the unique ability of being able to read me within seconds of seeing me and can adjust our practices to what my mind, body and soul need at that moment, without missing a beat.

 

I am a novice yoga soul at best, and have many physical limitations from past injuries. Her amazing character and ability to be both caring and tough throughout the process has not only improved my abilities but also made me fall in love with yoga."

Miki client testimonial

Miki Weghsteen

“I have lasting benefits from working with Stephanie. My heart knows the difference. With a balance of movement, yoga, meditation, laughter, and soul food, I feel lucky to have her teachings in my life.

 

She's realistic and genuine. I very much appreciate her ability to hold space for me without judgment. I can always count on her to bring something useful and uplifting to our meetings which often helps me reframe an otherwise difficult situation. I truly am thankful for our time together.”

Hali Schwartz testimonial

Hali Schwartz

“Stephanie is bright, sharp, sensitive, and deeply devoted to not only helping others, but to understanding them.

 

She’s always displayed a real ability to connect with others and help whenever the need arose.

 

Her self-discipline is something that I find very inspiring.

 

It is my opinion that this yoga community, both local and global, is enriched because of people like Stephanie."

Jesper client testimonial

Jesper Saunte

“While staying in San Marcos, Guatemala I participated in Stephanie's Sanghas on several occasions.

 

Stephanie had such lightness and good humour while still embracing what heavier subjects that might turn up.

 

She made each and everyone feel welcome no matter where in life they were.

 

Among my fondest memories."
