ABOUT MY GUEST:

Stephanie Robins is a professional Intuitive and certified shadow work practitioner. As a dedicated professional intuitive, she has spent years honing her ability to connect deeply with energies and emotions that shape our experiences. Her journey into this realm began at a very young age, she was gifted with the ability to perceive things that others often overlooked. Her heightened sensitivity allowed her to see beyond the surface, but as she  grew older, she felt pressure to suppress her gift to avoid being labeled as "weird". This internal conflict led to a lifelong struggle with severe anxiety, culminating in a period where she was committed to an institution and heavily medicated for 4 years. 

Despite her efforts to find relief, she felt trapped and hopeless, and it came to a point where she was ready to end her life. In a miraculous turn of events, she discovered hypnotherapy which profoundly changed the course of her life. This transformative experience not only helped her reclaim her mental well-being but also reignited her connection and intuitive gifts.

 

Today, as a professional intuitive and shadow work practitioner, she is devoted to helping others navigate their own journeys of self-discovery and healing. By blending intuitive insights with the principles of shadow work, Stephanie creates a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their inner fears, and embrace their authentic nature.

 

Her mission is to empower individuals to trust their intuition, heal from past traumas, and cultivate a life filled with purpose and joy. Together, you will uncover the insights that will guide you toward a brighter, and more magical future.
