MEET YOUR GUIDE
I'm Stephanie
Thank you 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 & compassion, mixed with a healthy dose of discernment & supportive boundaries, can soften the hardest places within us.
I am a deep student of Nature, her cycles, rhythms, and the ways these patterns 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, ritual, and self-care.
I support facilitators and spaceholders to embody their healing work and shine 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 help women heal from the past by transforming past conditioning and trauma, so they can live as their integrated, whole selves - embracing who they are now and moving forward from this place of growth.
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, facilitation, somatic healing, Breathwork, transformational coaching, ritual, traditional plant medicines, and Earth-based healing practices.
Today, my work weaves these modalities together to support healing, embodiment, transformation, and deeper connection to self, body, Spirit, and the natural world.
I’m here to help you shift paradigms, both within yourself and around you, so you can become more authentically aligned, fully expressed, and rooted in wholeness.

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 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, ritual, plant spirit work, or ceremonial master plant work, my approach emphasizes intentional preparation, trauma-informed care, ethical stewardship, and meaningful integration.
My work is rooted in years of apprenticeship within traditional Andean plant medicine lineages and European folk medicine traditions, alongside a modern understanding of trauma, ethics, and safe facilitation.
Through herbal formulations, ritual tools, seasonal practices, and work with plant allies, I help people reconnect with nature’s intelligence, the wisdom of their bodies, and their innate capacity for restoration, healing, and transformation.
Breathwork
Breathwork is a powerful somatic and soul healing modality that uses conscious breathing to support emotional release, nervous system regulation, stress reduction, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to the body.
While many people associate Breathwork with catharsis or intensity, my work emphasizes safety, regulation, integration, and sustainable transformation.
The goal is not simply to “have an experience,” but to increase your capacity to feel, process, and stay connected to yourself without 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 rooted in trauma-informed care, embodiment, integrity, and responsible facilitation.
Somatic Healing & Somatic Trauma Resolution
Somatic healing works directly with your body and nervous system to help resolve stress, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and survival patterns that talking alone often cannot reach.
Many people learn to live primarily in their mind, disconnected from their body and stuck in cycles of anxiety, numbness, hypervigilance, overwhelm, or exhaustion.
Our culture reinforces this disconnection by prioritizing productivity, speed, logic, and external validation over rest, intuition, embodiment, and felt experience.
Over time, this separation dulls our aliveness and makes it difficult to feel truly at home within ourselves.
Rather than forcing healing through analysis alone, my approach helps bridge the gap between mind and body so healing can be experienced physically, emotionally, energetically, and relationally, not just understood intellectually.
Our work supports your body to become a place of greater safety, resilience, regulation, connection, and presence.
Community, 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 intentional community, trauma-informed care, and embodied connection.
I pay close attention not only to the individual experience, but also to the emotional, energetic, relational, and nervous system dynamics unfolding within the collective field.
I believe deeply in the healing power of being witnessed safely, moving together in authentic community, and remembering 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, emotional safety, and genuine connection over performance or spiritual hierarchy.
My years as a professional ballerina and choreographer gave me a deep understanding of collective movement, emotional expression, music, presence, and group dynamics. Today, that understanding informs the way I facilitate healing spaces that are both deeply attuned and responsibly held.
Trauma-Informed Practice
At the foundation of all my work is a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes compassion, consent, safety, pacing, nervous system awareness, and individualized support.
I believe healing is not about pushing people beyond their capacity or creating performative breakthroughs, but about creating spaces where people can gently reconnect with themselves, build trust within their bodies, and experience meaningful transformation with integrity and support.
Root Level Healing
with Integrity + Purpose
I believe real healing happens when done at the root level.
On my own healing path, I was drawn toward these modalities because talking alone was not helping me reach the depth of the physical, emotional, ancestral, and relational 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 creating brave, grounded spaces where the unseen can be witnessed, the unspoken can be voiced, and the disowned parts of ourselves can be welcomed home with compassion rather than shame.
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’m here to serve women who are done with surface-level approaches to healing - the cycle-breakers, pattern-interrupters, deeply sensitive, and 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, and they sense what’s happening beneath the surface of culture, relationships, communities, and within themselves.
Many have spent years carrying, tending, over-functioning, striving, or surviving while longing to feel more connected, alive, expressed, and at home within themselves.
My clients care not only about their own healing, but about the ripple effect their healing creates within their families, communities, relationships, and future generations.
I help women reclaim both their sensitivity and strength, not by becoming harder, performative, or more disconnected from themselves, but by transforming old wounds, conditioning, grief, and survival patterns into deeper embodiment, self-trust, wholeness, and authentic expression.
Our work together is deeply embodied, multidimensional, and transformational. It goes far beyond traditional coaching or self-development work, and supports you to reconnect with your body, intuition, voice, gifts, relationships, your purpose, and your fullest expression of leadership in the world.
Because healing is not simply about ‘feeling better’.
Root Level Healing creates a ripple effect of wholeness that can transform the world.
