About Me
Stephanie is a certified eating disorder recovery coach based in Raleigh, NC.
I’m Stephanie, a recovered eating disorder coach, certified through the Carolyn Costin Institute. I have been recovered for over 14 years and I can say, for me personally, I made that jump because of a recovered life coach whom was one of the very few who did not give up on me!
Since being recovered, I obtained my Bachelors and Masters degrees in Social Work from SUNY Brockport and Roberts Wesleyan with a concentration in mental health.
I moved from Western New York to North Carolina in 2015.
I am married to my best friend, we have the 2 best sons (mom brag moment!), and an orange fluff ball Tabby cat named Sunshine.
Lastly, I must mention my other fur baby and best friend, Peanut. Sadly he passed away in the Spring of 2024 just shy of 15 years old. I was there for his birth and although I didn’t know it at the time, Peanut jump started my journey to a recovered life. He taught me how to care for myself by caring for him. Some might say he was only a dog, but he was a gift I never deserved. I ended up in North Carolina because of him and I am now blessed with the most beautiful life, all because of him, an angel in dog form.
Some Things I Love
A yummy coffee while driving alone and some 90’s country music. I give you full permission to make fun of my love for it, or if you’re like me, lets bond over our favorite artist.
Floating in the lake or ocean! This is a new one for me. When I was little I was scared of fish in the water, and what might lurk in the darkness. As I got older I was super insecure of how I looked in a bathing suit, or trying to not get my hair wet. But now, pure bliss!!
A slow stroll early in the morning. Before most people are awake. It’s just you, the birds, crickets, and rising sun. The stillness of the earth
F-R-I-E-N-D-S…Yes, the show! Every episode of every season. I have officially lost count of how many times I have gone through all of the seasons.
