... there's more!
Stephanie’s massive and delightfully unexpected conversion to the Catholic faith was the direct result of her own personal recovery from bulimia and food addiction, and it is this experience that posits her as a leading expert in her community for those looking to heal from the painful destructive nature of these illnesses.
Her cutting edge signature recovery program, The Pulse Project, was born from an observed need within the faith community for a sound neuroscientific and faith based approach to healing from food addiction and disordered eating. Stephanie maintains an online group coaching community called The Ember Loft, which welcomes women who are seeking accountability and support from likeminded members as they navigate their recovery journey through The Pulse Project program.
