MEET YOUR GUIDE
Hello & welcome!
Thank you so much for being here.
I am Stephanie Burg, a medicine keeper, healing facilitator, teacher, writer, transformational coach, and guide dedicated to helping you reclaim your roots- to heal the pain & carry forward the gifts of your lineage- so that you can make the most of your one precious life.
Beyond titles, roles, or responsibilities, I am a woman who is in full apprenticeship to Life.
I truly believe that kindness and compassion, rooted in discernment and supported by healthy boundaries, can soften even the hardest places within us.
I am a deep student of Nature, her cycles, rhythms, and patterns that can nourish, regenerate, and heal us.
I teach women how to reconnect to the Earth by working with these cycles, reconnecting to their bodies & creating a relationship with healing plants for nourishment and self-care.
I support facilitators and spaceholders in embodying their healing work & shining a light on their unconscious wounds so they can deepen their craft…
…serving from clarity, attunement, and integrity in every interaction, whether in business, facilitation, client relationships, or life.
I also bring women together in soulful, brave, and caring community to provide a new template for what healthy, supportive relationships can be.
The Evolution of
My Work
Before stepping into my role as a mentor and guide, I was a professional ballet dancer- a career defined by relentless discipline, devotion, and the impossible pursuit of perfection.
I learned all about energy, embodiment, and expression long before it was trendy…
…but I also learned to ignore my body & keep quiet to survive a dysfunctional environment.
When an injury at the age of 29 forced me off the stage and into recovery, everything changed.
I began questioning not only my career, but the deeper patterns of self-abandonment I had inherited through toxic systems - my family, performance culture, and the world around me.
Over time, my path expanded into formal studies in holistic nutrition, group facilitation, somatic healing, Breathwork, transformational coaching, ritual, traditional plant medicines, and Earth-based healing practices.
Today, I draw from these modalities to support women in reconnecting with themselves...
...trusting their bodies, and deepening their relationship with Spirit, the Earth, and the wisdom that lives within them.

MODALITIES & MY APPROACH
Traditional Plant Medicines, Folk Herbalism, Plant Spirit Communication
Plants have been used for thousands of years across cultures to support healing, spiritual connection, grief work, emotional release, and embodied transformation.
In my work, plants are approached with reverence, both as allies for everyday nourishment and as catalysts for deeper healing.
Plants have the ability to support us on many levels: physically, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically.
Some offer gentle support for the nervous system, heart, digestion, sleep, vitality, and emotional well-being.
Others help us access and transform what the mind alone often cannot reach, including grief, trauma, stored emotions, and long-held survival patterns.
Whether through herbal medicine, seasonal ritual, plant spirit work, or ceremonial master plant work, my approach honors Nature as a primary healer, teacher & guide.
I emphasize intentional preparation, trauma-informed care, ethical stewardship, and meaningful integration within all my plant medicine offerings.
My work is rooted in years of apprenticeship within traditional Andean & Amazonian plant medicine lineages and European folk medicine traditions, woven together with a modern understanding of trauma, ethics, and safe facilitation.
Breathwork Healing
Breathwork is a powerful somatic and soul healing modality that uses conscious breathing to support emotional release, stress reduction, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to your body.
While many people associate Breathwork with catharsis or intense emotional experiences, my goal is not simply for you to "have an experience".
Through the practice of Breathwork, we increase your capacity to feel, process, and stay connected to yourself through life's challenges. Over time, this builds greater resilience, emotional flexibility, capacity, and the ability to meet life with more presence and less overwhelm.
I have facilitated Breathwork for nearly 10 years in both intimate and large group settings, weaving together trauma-informed care, somatic healing, ritual, music, and ceremonial practice.
My primary training lineage is rooted in the work of Breathwork pioneer David Elliott, alongside foundational studies with Dr. Judith Kravitz and continued education in somatic trauma healing and facilitation.
I have received the blessing to train other Breathwork facilitators through this lineage and now offer Level 1 Breathwork Facilitator Trainings.
Somatic Healing & Somatic Trauma Resolution
Somatic healing works to restore connection between your mind and your body.
Through life experiences, trauma, stress, heartbreak, loss, and the constant pressure to produce, perform, and keep going, many of us learn to live primarily from the neck up.
We become skilled at thinking, analyzing, managing, and pushing through, while losing connection with the incredible wisdom, intelligence, and guidance available within the body.
Over time, this disconnection can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, numb, exhausted, or unsure of ourselves. We may struggle to recognize our needs, trust our instincts, or feel fully present in our lives.
Rather than approaching healing through analysis and insight alone, somatic healing works directly with your body to help resolve stress, trauma, unprocessed emotions, and long-held survival patterns.
The goal is not simply to understand yourself differently, but to experience yourself differently.
Together, we help you cultivate a deeper relationship with your body so you can reclaim your body as a source of wisdom, safety, resilience, presence, and self-trust.
Group Facilitation & Collective Healing
While healing is often spoken about as an individual journey, much of our wounding and healing happens in relationships.
For nearly 15 years, I have facilitated groups, retreats, ceremonies, and transformational experiences rooted in formal study of intentional community & women's circles, group dynamics & trauma-informed care.
I pay close attention not only to the experience of the individual but also to the emotional, energetic, & relational dynamics unfolding within the collective field.
I believe deeply in the healing power of being witnessed in authentic community, so that we can remember we are not meant to heal in isolation.
At the same time, I recognize that group spaces can activate wounds around visibility, comparison, belonging, hierarchy, and self-protection. Because of this, I place great importance on integrity, pacing, consent, and genuine connection over performance or spiritual hierarchy.
Long before I learned how to facilitate healing spaces, I was learning to read nonverbal communication, track group dynamics, and understand how emotion moves through individuals and groups as a professional ballerina and choreographer.
I developed a deep appreciation for the relationship between personal expression and the collective field, and for the conditions that allow people to feel safe enough to be fully seen.
That foundation continues to inform my work today, shaping the way I create healing spaces that are attuned, relational, trauma-informed, and responsibly held.
Trauma-Informed Practice
Having navigated my own experiences of trauma and healing, I understand both the complexity of human suffering and the courage it takes to move toward change.
I approach each person with empathy, curiosity, and respect for the unique experiences, challenges, and wisdom they carry.
I believe healing is not about pushing people beyond their capacity or creating performative breakthroughs...
...but about creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, build trust within their bodies, develop greater resilience, and experience meaningful connection & growth with integrity, support, and care.
Root Level Healing
with Integrity + Purpose
On my own healing path, I was drawn toward the modalities I share today because talking alone was not helping me reach the depth of pain I carried or the disconnection I felt from myself, my body, and life itself.
I believe healing, when approached with integrity, reverence, and a clear purpose, has the power to transform not only our individual lives but the collective.
My work is devoted to helping people bring awareness to what has remained unseen, give voice to what has gone unspoken, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that have been hidden, rejected, or forgotten.
Through this process, healing becomes less about fixing ourselves and more about meeting ourselves with compassion, curiosity, and acceptance.
I help my clients reconnect with their bodies, re-learn healthier ways of relating, attune to their gifts and intuition…
…and begin actively co-creating their lives not from survival or wounding, but from greater wholeness, empowerment, presence, and self-trust.
And maybe, somewhere deep inside, you already know that’s why you’re here.

Which brings me to you...
I support women who are done with surface-level approaches to healing - the cycle-breakers, pattern-interrupters, deeply sensitive, intuitive, and heart-led women who are ready to show up in their lives in a new way.
The women I work with often feel deeply. They care deeply about the people and world around them, often sensing what is happening beneath the surface long before it becomes visible to others.
Many have spent years nurturing, tending, over-functioning, striving, or surviving while longing to feel more connected, alive, and at home within themselves. They care not only about their own healing but about the ripple effect that healing creates within their families, relationships, communities, and future generations.
I help women embrace both their sensitivity and strength, not by pushing harder or becoming more disconnected from themselves…
…but by transforming old wounds, conditioning, and survival patterns into self-trust, embodied wisdom, integrity, and authentic expression.
Together, we work to reconnect you with the parts of yourself that may have been buried beneath trauma, conditioning, expectations, or years of self-abandonment...
...including your body's wisdom, intuition, creativity, gifts, and lived knowing.
Because healing is not simply about feeling better.
It is about reclaiming your relationship with yourself so you can move through life with greater presence, authenticity, resilience, and choice.
