About Steph
WHAT I DO
I help people step into their power and create big impact.
For over two decades, I’ve been obsessed with one question: what actually creates lasting change in a human being?
That question has taken me through 16 years of clinical practice as a licensed acupuncturist (over 30,000 patient encounters), a decade of coaching fitness in the Portland community, and deep study of the psychology of performance, identity, and leadership. What I learned in every one of those rooms is the same thing: sustainable transformation doesn’t start with strategy. It starts with the person.
Today I work with high-performing leaders, founders, and executives as a certified personal coach and Master Intelligent Leadership Executive Coach, helping them close the gap between where they are and the full potential they know is there. I host the Impact Ready podcast, co-founded Next Level Nutrition, a whole-person wellness brand, and speak to organizations on leadership, influence, and what it takes to operate at your best.
My approach is holistic by design. I don’t separate your leadership from your energy, your mindset from your relationships, or your ambition from your purpose. Everything is connected…and that’s exactly where the work gets interesting.
WHO I AM
I have always been fascinated by people — what drives them, what holds them back, and the extraordinary resilience that lives inside even the most battle-worn human being. That curiosity has never left me. It’s the thread running through everything I do.
I lost my dad to leukemia when I was seven years old. That kind of loss either hardens you or cracks you open. For a long time, it did both. Learning to shed the tough skin I’d built, to trade armor for authenticity, became one of the most important journeys of my life. And it’s why I can sit across from a high-performing leader who has it all together on the outside and ask the question that actually matters.
I believe healing and real growth begin in the mind, long before they show up in behavior. I believe we are more capable than we know, more influential than we realize, and more connected to each other than we give ourselves credit for. The ripple effect of one person operating at their full potential is something I find genuinely extraordinary.
I’m a lifelong learner who still gets fired up about the big questions. I love athletics, fitness, and anything that asks you to push your edge. I am always seeking, always curious, always a work in progress myself. Which is exactly why I know the work is never really finished. It just gets richer.
