"I first met Stephanie through her extraordinary volunteer work at Pathways. She is an outstanding group facilitator with consistently contagious positive energy. Stephanie has a natural ability to support and inspire people on our wellness journey. She is a highly gifted storyteller through her tranquil meditation sessions and this is also evident in her passion as a talented musician. Furthermore, her creativity shines brightly with an art class she leads, called Conscious Creating, and utilizes her Tai Chi certification in very meaningful ways. Stephanie has a magnetic personality, which enables her success as an inclusive community organizer. She is knowledgeable and incredibly resourceful with a genuine interest in helping anyone in need. It is an honor and privilege to experience the impact her soul brings to our world. It is an absolute pleasure to recognize her heart and soul in her mission to uplift everyone on her path.

"Your session was truly such a wonderful gift to us all!" - by Tyler Stromquist-Levoir, Co-Organizer of the Community Celebration Concert. October 30, 2022.
"I just did a free sampler class for Tai Chi and Qigong and it was incredible.
She offers a free class twice a month and has a few other free options for classes with her. She shows every motion in a seated position as well as standing for adaptability and these are live classes, so you can always ask questions.
Links and more details can be found on her website: https://www.touchingworlds.com/home
If you go to the page called "Resources" she has a lot of information and handouts available for free under the Tai Chi & Qigong page as well.
She also has a YouTube channel with recorded sample lessons, a Facebook group, and a newsletter - all of this can be found on her website.
(There are options for those who are looking for something more specific for paying and her rates are very consistent and reasonable for private lessons at $1/minute for private lessons)

"Stephanie took time out of her weekend to attend our MDA Adult Networking Support Group. We have a variety of physical abilities within our group. Stephanie was warm and inviting to our sometimes rowdy group. She literally calmed the entire room as she mindfully guided us all through an introduction to Tai Chi. One thing I really appreciated is how often she would augment a movement or change it so that everyone was able to participate at their level. One of our members even commented that he could "feel the energy in the room" despite his limited ability to do the physical movements. Stephanie also was very thoughtful to bring articles regarding Tai Chi and muscular dystrophy for everyone to read. We'd ask her back in a heart beat when we cover this topic again, she was truly a treat for all of us."
