“I’ve enjoyed my session with Stefani M.
I can relate to her as she can to me which makes me feel seen and heard as an ethnic person.
She listens and gives me tools to help me get to solutions and keep them in practice.
She moves at a pace that is slow enough to establish trust but fast enough to get my mind moving and reevaluating the behavior id like to change.”
