Creating Space for Intentional Living

  • My Approach

    Curate We’ll focus on what you want out of the relationship and design a bespoke partnership.

    Reflect This is the uncomfortable and messy part. We’ll reflect on what may be blocking you, and work on how to overcome these challenges and obstacles.

    Expand Think of this as your new beginning, but now you’ll have the tools to support your journey. This is where I may become more of a consultant than a coach.

    This is a 3 month minimum offering, but please reach out if you have different needs so we can create a plan that works best for you.

  • I partner with organizations to create a nurturing and productive culture through compassionate leadership, psychological safety, values, and purpose.

    Connect with me to create a curated experience for your organizational needs. This can include 1:1 or group coaching, workshops, remote & hybrid culture roadmap, team retreats, etc.

  • I offer a variety of programs that can support the well-being of individuals and groups. My training with The Chopra Center allows me to weave meditation, mindfulness, and practical applications of Ayurveda into everyday life.

  • Design Your Life is an interactive workshop that can be taken individually or with a group. This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in taking their life and career in a more aligned direction.

    Purposeful Feedback is a simple, yet powerful way to incorporate non-judgemental observations around behavior and impact into meaningful and direct conversations that benefit everyone.

my approach

My professional journey centers around nurturing talent to achieve their goals throughout their unique career trajectory. With deep expertise in employee experience, development, and culture within the industries of design, innovation, advertising, and the arts — I have developed a human-centered approach that prioritizes collaboration, resilience, and creative problem-solving.

As an ICF-certified coach, I meet my clients where they are, whether they are rising stars or experienced leaders, and offer curated support that empowers them to reach their full potential. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the transformative power of coaching as my clients have gained clarity, confidence, and purpose in their lives.

To further enhance my coaching abilities, I studied Wellness Coaching with the Chopra Center, and have created an approach to weave holistic health and mindfulness techniques into traditional coaching methods. 

This expanded toolkit allows me to offer even more personalized support to the individuals, teams, and organizations I work with by emphasizing psychological safety and wellness combined with compassionate leadership skills in order to prevent burnout and provide an empowered perspective.

My belief is that all aspects of life — career, culture, family, personal development —should be intentional and purposeful. When you prioritize this way of life, you are benefiting everyone around you.

about Stephanie

For me, it all starts with wellness. The mind-body-energy connection informs all aspects of my life — from career to friendships to family. My own experience, explorations, and development are varied and have given me a unique perspective in my coaching.

I am an ICF-certified coach and studied with The Co-Active Training Institute (CTI). I have studied energy work and meditation with Damien Echols, who developed techniques to heal himself while on death row for a crime he didn’t commit and was later exonerated from. Complementing this unorthodox training, I am a traditional Usui Shiki Ryoho reiki practitioner and am certified in Ayurveda and Primordial Sound Meditation with The Chopra Center.

The work I continue to do on myself informs the work I do with others by alchemizing practical and modern applications of ancient spiritual wisdom that include energy work, Ayurveda, meditation, and mindfulness techniques.

Continuing to develop myself, I have recently focused on my own creative process through intensive workshops with Elizabeth Gilbert, Rachel Cargle, Molly Rosen, and Michael Ventura.

I founded Melusine to offer bespoke coaching and consulting — for individuals, teams, and organizations — informed by my curiosity, vast experiences, and life-long work with (and love for) creative people.

about Melusine

My ancestral lineage winds its way through my family of origin in a fascinating melting pot of martyrs, pilgrims, pioneers, witches, and adventurers all the way up through the Tudor and Plantagenet dynasties. 

This family line also claimed to be descendants of the river goddess, Melusine, who had the ability to shapeshift from noblewoman to mermaid. My ancestral connection to the mystical inspired me to create Melusine as a coaching & consulting offering — to support resilience and transformation while navigating the mess that is life, work, and relationships. Your transformation is meant to be seen, unapologetically, by the world.

“Life is an adventure of our own design, intersected by fate and a series of lucky and unlucky accidents.”

Testimonials

  • "Stephanie has helped me understand how my self-perception affects my work life and has given me the confidence to lead. Our sessions are always enlightening, with new perspectives and actionable steps to address my challenges. Stephanie is a compassionate, vibrant, and analytical coach, and I highly recommend her services."

    Santiago, designer & strategist

  • “Stephanie has shown me the value of connection to oneself—tapping into the power of self-love, mindfulness, and meditation to become a better version of myself within my career and beyond. She’s a deeply thoughtful teacher who encourages reflection, rest, and reframing thoughts and intuitions—creating new pathways to my ‘why’, together.”

    Marisa, designer & creative director

  • "Even in a few sessions, I found and am still finding value. Coaching with Stephanie is a long-term investment that can be established in a handful of sessions. Stephanie met me where I, and perhaps more practically, where my schedule was. I'm still referencing notes and lessons years after the handful of sessions I had with Stephanie. In the same way I am realizing the fruits of education a decade later, topics and lessons uncovered during our sessions are still relevant if not more timely as I continue to navigate my career."

    Christina, strategic research & design

  • "I reached out to Stephanie at a point when I was so tired and overwhelmed that I was considering quitting my job. Stephanie helped me think through what multiple scenarios might look like. At the same time, she coached me on skills like boundary setting, time management and delegation, which helped me make immediate improvements. After a few months of working with Stephanie, I was so much happier at my job that I ended up staying. Since then, I’ve been able to focus my energy and skills towards maintaining my newly achieved work/life balance while also excelling at (and enjoying) my career."

    Kristin, strategist

  • "Stephanie carries a grounded wisdom to her that I've never had in a coach before. She was extremely present on all our calls and she knew when to underscore some of my own writing as being key to unlocking a path forward. She also knew when to push me outside my comfort zone just enough to be effective but not terrifying. After six sessions with Stephanie, I have a career vision that resonates and is broken out into achievable steps. Her life and work experience doesn't go unnoticed, and she's pure joy. It was truly a highlight of my week to partner with her in creating my future!"

    Joyce, designer

  • "Bad decisions prompt us to ask, afterwards, "what was I thinking?" Working with Stephanie taught me to make better decisions by understanding my thinking intentionally. I gained greater self-awareness, understanding how my drives and skills color my judgment, and better situational awareness, taking my biases into account. To this day, I apply and practice the strategies I learned with Stephanie's coaching. They help me make better and more confident strategic decisions."
