ABOUT ME
|
I'm Stephanie, fitness tech product manager and embodied mindfulness therapist.
For the last twelve years, I've worked in software and hardware development for both startups and corporate organizations, such as MIRROR, Samsung, Boxee, Multimedia Games, and KingsIsle Games. I am interested in exploring ways technology can empower individuals and societies, and nurture self-development and collective healing. As a therapist, I facilitate individual and group mindfulness therapy sessions that focus on utilizing the body as a tool for connection. That connection could be to the present moment, to fostering the inner mind-heart connection, or to developing a sense of belonging and right to life. Sessions focus on self-acceptance in the present moment. "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." ~ Viktor E. Frankl "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." ~ Carl Rogers |
When I'm not at a computer or on a yoga mat, I am probably dancing barefoot, making tinctures, or hiking with my rescue dog, Wolfie.

2016-2017:
As part of my inquiry into the intersection of technology, body and culture; I took some time to travel through South Africa, Central and South America. During this time of research, I explored many of the innate technologies of native wisdom in these places; and further how they relate to the development of a collective social consciousness.
