INTUITIVE COACH
Hi! I’m Stephanie.
I’m an Animal Communicator, Psychic Medium, writer, and a Medical Intuitive for Animals and Humans.
I help people learn to trust their intuition, receive direct messages from their animals and loved ones in spirit, and activate their innate healing abilities.
Before I became a full-time Intuitive, I taught writing at NYU for over a decade. I also worked as a freelance editor for several major publishing houses, and I earned a Ph.D. in English Education, with a specialty in teaching writing.
Now, as an Intuition Mentor and Teacher, I draw from what I learned as a teacher, while allowing my intuition to take the lead.
My goal is to help you tap into your intuition, follow the inspired path meant for you, and live from a place of authenticity, trust, and connection.
I co-founded the Intuitive Mastermind Academy, where I teach classes and lead small group coaching in all things intuition.
Discover how to live a more connected life.
ANIMALS, DREAMS, & CEMETARIES
When my parents told me that I would inherit the family cemetery, I laughed. I should have known then that I had a special relationship with death.
But I had a lot of fears. I had lost many people who were close to me, including my high school love, to a tragic accident. I had inherited a way of thinking about these losses. I believed that tragedy was inevitable, and that loving someone meant losing them. Love felt unsafe.
Then there were the dreams.
I had dreams about my own and my friends’ animals dying, then woke up to news that the animals had crossed over while I was asleep.
I felt responsible for their deaths and powerless because I couldn’t change the outcome of the dreams. I loved animals so much, and the dreams and deaths felt unbearable.
I became afraid of my own abilities. I shut down my intuition for decades.
I lived as if only that which can be seen with the physical eye is real.
LORCA
My dog, Lorca, had a big hand in waking me up. He had a string of mystery illnesses, and I found an Animal Communication class out of desperation to try to help him. To my surprise, I discovered that he was the one helping me, and that his illnesses were part of a plan to help me wake up. This was my first lesson in how animals can use their physical health to help us humans evolve.
As I communicated with more and more animals, my perspective shifted.
I learned that I had been seeing animals through a human-centered lens, projecting my fears and needs on them.
I came to understand how the animals that visited me in my childhood dreams weren’t asking me to save them. They wanted to teach me about my own capacities, and about what the death and dying process was for them.
They wanted me to know that they were okay—more than okay—on the other side.
THE PATH TO RECONNECTION
When it was Lorca’s turn to cross over, he helped me rewrite my stories around death, and heal my past traumas. He led me every step of the way, teaching me. He helped me become the person who could be there for him and help him transition, something that would have been too much for me at an earlier point in my life. I offered him energy healing, and helped his transition process be the beautiful experience he wanted it to be, surrounded by family and his brother Max.
My path to becoming a practicing Animal Communicator, Medium, and Medical Intuitive for animals and humans began with self-healing.
It required compassionately witnessing the fears, stories, and myths that were passed down to me from family, culture, and other lifetimes. It required releasing them with love.
Now, it is an honor to help others release their fears around their own intuitive gifts and step into their intuitive power. I love facilitating a dialogue of love and healing between the living, the animals that walk this earth with us, and loved ones who have crossed over into the non-physical realms.

AN INTUITIVE JOURNEY
After discovering that I could sense and communicate with those in Spirit, I dedicated myself to learning as much as I could about my psychic and intuitive skills.
I also learned that it’s not just a matter of “doing” intuition.
Tuning into our powerful intuition means opening ourselves up to change.
I learned about myself, my fears, and my limiting stories, in order to get out of the way.
I recognized areas in my life where I was keeping myself small, to avoid being seen.
I came to understand that my sensitivity—something I once saw as weakness—was actually a superpower, and that it allowed me to see, hear, feel, sense, and know what lies beyond ordinary perception.
We have always been intuitive.
I came to understand how I had always used my intuition, but I didn’t trust it.
I saw how I had always communicated with animals and received messages from them, but I didn’t know it.
I learned that we are always guided, supported, and connected, and that our feelings of aloneness are a signal for us to get back on track.
Access the knowledge and wisdom that you, your ancestors, and your soul family have carried for lifetimes.
I love facilitating a dialogue of love and healing between the living, the animals that walk this earth with us, and loved ones who have crossed over into the non-physical realms.
AN INTUITIVE GUIDANCE SYSTEM
I grew up in the 80s, a time of “no pain, no gain.” Sensitivity was seen as a liability. Physical illness was something to “muscle through.” I carried this mentality into adulthood. I remember bartending with a fever, pink eye, and an ear infection, because there wasn’t anyone to fill in for me, and because that’s what you did. I didn’t even question it.
I was proud of my ability to endure.
When I developed mysterious auto-immune symptoms—chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression (but still I pushed through)—I looked for who or what to blame. Sometimes the blame fell on others, but mostly it fell on myself. Why was this happening to me? Was I too weak? Was I too sensitive? I must be doing something wrong, but I didn’t know what.
I didn’t understand that our bodies have a deep intelligence, and that our symptoms speak to us.
As I searched for answers to what was wrong with me, I was led down a path of discovery and deep paradigm shifts. I came to understand how physical illness signals a mis-alignment with our soul.
Every symptom contains vital information, if we know how to listen to it.
Each physical or emotional challenge is a guide, inviting us to wake up to our incredible intuitive power.
It’s not always easy to listen to our intuition through our fear. But the more we do, the more we learn to trust ourselves and our bodies. We open ourselves up to healing.
Our challenges create opportunities for us to heal ourselves, our ancestors, and our traumas carried from past lives.
Our choice now is to learn to listen—to our bodies, to our deep inner knowing, to our wild dreaming selves, and to those glimmers of hope that tell us …
“Healing is possible.”
THE POWER OF WORDS
Before I knew (or remembered) I was psychic, I armed myself with knowledge and degrees. A Masters in Comparative Literature. A Ph.D. in English Education. I taught writing at NYU and Bard College.
During my time as a writing teacher, I learned important lessons about the power of words to express, discover, communicate, and to create worlds.
Now, my relationship to words has grown deeper.
I have witnessed the power of words to help us connect and commune with the unseen worlds, and to help us heal.
Our words can limit or expand us.
They can foster illness or health.
They can carry the energetic heaviness of lifetimes of trauma and oppression. But they can also carry the energetic resonance of healing and liberation.
They can perpetuate our limiting beliefs. But they can also be keys to our freedom.
Tuning into our words, like we might tune an instrument, can help us shift our limiting beliefs, activate our body’s innate heal capacities, and create the life of our dreams.
We can use words to spread fear. Or we use them to strengthen love.
Our words can follow a well-worn path, or they can rewrite what is possible for us.
