“When I first met Stephanie, I knew instantly she had a special gift – one that would help others reach new levels of meaning and joy in their lives. Having partnered with life, competitive athletic and executive coaches for decades, I’ve experienced the power of masterful coaching and I wasted no time in hiring Stephanie to help me pursue some ambitious and exciting goals. In the short time we’ve worked together, I’m astounded by the momentum I’ve gained toward achieving these goals and thrilled by the new found freedom and lightness I feel in honoring my truest and best self. Turning insights into action is one thing that really separates Stephanie from the crowd. I look forward to our call every week, knowing I will experience the ‘Steph Effect’ – the magic that happens every time she touches my heart, opens my mind and helps me access my inner gifts. Aside from having exceptional coaching skills, her integrity, intuition, intelligence, compassion, energy and humor make it possible, fun and easy for me to explore emotions and new ways of thinking, and as a result, I am continuing to design the life of my dreams.”

“I have worked with many coaches over the years for a variety of areas I wanted to improve upon. They all had their own personal touch and area of expertise. In July of 2014, I began working with Stephanie to address confidence issues that were blocking me from turning my my passion into a career. At the start of our first session I immediately felt I was in a safe environment. Stephanie was listening to me. She not only heard the spoken words but had a unique ability to hear the unspoken words. It’s that intuition that helped me to make connections and move through my limiting beliefs and internal blocks. With Stephanie’s passion and gift of coaching, and my willingness to be honest and coached, I have removed many of those negative voices that were killing my confidence. I am much happier with who I am. Stephanie and I have come up with a plan that focuses on my strengths. I have since put a plan into action to turn my passion into a career. Mariposa Coaching has been the best business and personal investment I have made.”

“Stephanie’s coaching was invaluable. I learned to identify the barriers and key performance issues that have been holding me back. Stephanie was incredibly skilled at asking the tough questions that helped me see things from different perspectives, and she then held me accountable for achieving my goals. Stephanie is not only challenging and insightful, but also patient and understanding, with remarkable instincts and knowledge. She brings a rare combination of business awareness along with unique perspectives and listening skills. Her coaching style is a perfect fit for any business leader who wants to perform at a higher level. The skills and concepts I learned will be long lasting!”

“I spent five weeks working with Stephanie. I needed some guidance during a transitional time in my life, with one child in college and the other heading out soon. I was effectively being fazed out of my current position as mother and homemaker and I needed a little help starting the job hunt for my next position. Stephanie helped me identify both short and long term goals. She asked questions I wasn’t ready to ask myself, gave me attainable action to take every week and made me accountable for completing each task. These were not big tasks, but they were ones I had previously been finding excuses to avoid. Stephanie kept me focused on my goals and optimistic about my possibilities. I left my series of sessions with a plan and a schedule to keep me on track. I am happy to say, that I am gainfully employed, and proud of the accomplishments I made to get me to this point. Stephanie is a smart, knowledgeable professional who is easy to talk to. I always looked forward to our sessions.”

“As a mom of a two year old with a full time job, things can get a little hectic. I tend to be a procrastinator and Stephanie helps me stay focused. She gives me the tools to accomplish tasks that I would typically leave on the back burner as long as possible. Now that I am taking action and getting things done I feel empowered to take on more. Stephanie is always reachable when I need to talk or have any questions. I’m comfortable saying anything to her because she truly listens, without judgement. She’s helped me over the last 5 months through some major life changes and I am very grateful to have her as my coach.”

“The most important thing I gained from my sessions with Stephanie was a real sense of self-awareness that I had been lacking. I came to Stephanie feeling “stuck” in various aspects of my life. Through our sessions I gained fresh insights into my ingrained thought processes and self-defeating mindset that had led to frustration and a feeling of being stalled in life. Stephanie helped me look critically at how I had been handling my interactions with others in my life, and develop a more effective, and satisfying approach. Since I also wanted to make some progress towards future career planning, we worked on taking first steps in a process of discovering what I really enjoyed, rather than what I thought was the correct or expected direction. Through all of this, Stephanie’s warm, compassionate, yet focused manner made it easy to share honestly so that we could effect true change and personal growth. A wonderful and rewarding experience!”
