„I met Stephan at Arcadia clinic in Germany after a diagnosis of ovarian cancer. I had just had major surgery & was navigating a diagnosis which had me crippled in fear. I had worked with therapists prior to meeting Stephan, but did not feel aligned with any of these practitioners. They felt very clinical & I sometimes felt much worse after a session. Stephan took his time to get to know me & met me where I was at. He incorporated spiritual, somatic, breath & body work to support me in moving through trauma. He guided me...

...back to myself & enabled me to take responsibility for where I was in my journey. He is full of knowledge & wisdom. He taught me that our bodies are always communicating with us & to take the time to listen, befriend & tend to myself.
It has been great to work remotely & Stephan has been flexible with days & times. There is never pressure to end the call after a certain amount of time. I feel he always gives his full attention & gives advice/guidance that I may not want to hear, but that I need to hear.

Initially I couldn’t speak about my experience without breaking down crying & feeling like a victim. Stephan was very professional & taught me to lean into my fears as I had a lot to learn from them. Since working with him I have faced many fears & feel much more myself than I have in my whole life.

I learnt from our conversations that I am a student of life.  And that traumatic experiences can provide many lessons & blessings. We also explored many “addictions” I had such as addiction to dissociating, people pleasing, distracting, over eating. We were able to navigate why I was trying to self soothe & other ways to tend to myself such as meditation & breath work.


I enjoyed the somatic feeling of the Tranceformation sessions;  getting out of my mind & into my body.
Immediate results of working with Stephan are release in tension & clinging. Letting go of victim mindset. Feeling empowered on my journey.
My long term gains are getting to know & love myself. Getting to know God/Source/all that is.
I would recommend Stephan to anyone that wants to go deeper than traditional talk therapy. Anyone with an open mind & heart. Anyone that wants to get to know themselves on a deeper level.

Always have a pen & journal to jot down words from Stephan so you can reflect on these sessions. I feel he should do group workshops or a TED talk so he can be of service to more people.
