Behind My Smile, Anxiety Had Taken Root
When I was 17, my world shattered. My father died by suicide, and my mother threatened to follow suit. In those dark moments, I stood alone – no comfort, no guidance on how to grieve. Months later, another blow: sexual assault by my “boss” during an internship.
For years, I buried these traumas deep. I convinced myself that if I could function, if I could keep everything looking fine on the outside, then the inside must not be that big of a problem. I got really good at holding it in, crying but not talking, surviving the best I could.
But healing isn’t about whether you’ve moved on or handled it well enough to function. It’s about reclaiming the parts of yourself that got buried under survival.
See, when you go through something that big, it takes center stage in your life. But there are also a million other little traumas – beliefs, patterns, and subconscious stories that, if left unchecked, just keep playing on repeat in the background.
These shape how we make decisions, how we show up in relationships, and how we see ourselves. They influence our confidence, our success, our ability to receive love.
The Voice of Calm
For over 40 years, my reassuring voice has been a guiding force for daily motivation and positivity.
As former celebrity radio DJ “Stevie Knox”, I “hypnotized” listeners to tune in daily for their dose
of feel-good inspiration.
Since 2005, I’ve brought that same warm, relatable energy into my integrative hypnosis practice, literally using my voice to help clients create incredible breakthroughs around anxiety, confidence, sleep and more.
Whether you know me as DJ Stevie keeping spirits lifted or Integrative Hypnotist Stephanie motivating real change through your ultimate mindset reset, my voice remains a calming constant.
Charting My Own Path to Lasting Freedom
I began voraciously researching holistic healing techniques like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping and clinical hypnosis. As I assembled my toolkit and found calm once more, our family faced a significant challenge when my husband received a serious medical diagnosis. I also needed to return to work after years as a stay-at-home mom.
Rather than spiral, I leaned on my new emotional healing skills. I soon realized that this knowledge was my calling—to guide others to break free from anxiety and reclaim their inner resilience.
Over decades of harnessing the power of integrative hypnosis and intuitive work, I’ve helped thousands tap into their infinite inner wisdom. My own journey of healing and self-discovery allows me to relate to clients with authentic and complete understanding when they come to me feeling stuck in old patterns and carry shame, self-doubt or fear of judgment.
My Mission
My mission is to empower women to break free from worry, doubt, and fear, so they can create a joy-filled life rooted in inner calm and self-love. Together we’ll chip away at old limitations, using science-backed techniques like hypnosis, mindfulness, and EFT/Tapping (and more!) to build your personal toolkit.
This helps you settle into and sustain being at total peace with yourself (and it feels SO good!)
Consider Me
Consider me your personal cheerleader, mentor and guide. I live in Connecticut with my husband Michael, enjoying our sweet rescue dogs, daily nature walks, summer beach weekends, and campfire chats.
Michael and I met working in radio together and now he assists me behind-the-scenes. We raised two incredible kids over our 40-year marriage.
I bring compassion from personal experience to help you build the life you deserve. Let’s chat!
