I met Stefani back in September of 2023 and I embarked on my wellness journey with her. I did her Whole Food Detox group in January and learned a lot about which foods affected me both physically and mentally. By eliminating these foods and then slowly introducing them back I was able to isolate which foods affected me and why. I was finally able to understand some of my emotional triggers around food. Stefani's love and passion is contagious and her commitment to her clients unparalleled. I have grown as a person both spiritually and emotionally under her coaching and have developed a new sense of self. Food has now become a part of my life that nourishes and enriches rather than something to stuff feelings. I am forever grateful to her and continue with coaching calls weekly or biweekly. Many of the things that I once hoped to do but lacked confidence are now part of my daily life. I continue to learn and grow with Stefani's help and guidance. Her health coaching is so much more than just food; it's a roadmap for how to live life.

Toward the end of last year, I decided to join Stefani's Whole Food Detox group. My eating habits were all over the place (I'm SUCH an emotional eater) and I knew it was time to do something to take control. I want to preface this by saying that I have struggled with my weight for years and have jumped into groups for accountability hoping it would help motivate me. More often than not, it didn't. That's what I did again here, but what I wound up gaining is beyond what I could have ever hoped for. Stefani's weekly calls focused on so much more than the food I was putting in my mouth. We talked about ALL the things that were going on in my life that contributed to my overall health. She recommended products to help support my anxious feelings and always reminded me to give myself grace. Most importantly, for me, Stefani stopped my negative self-talk dead in its tracks and taught me to be proud of myself for every step I took, no matter how big or small.

It's been 3 months since I first jumped in with her and while I've lost and kept off 15 pounds, it's my non-scale victories that are the most important to me (I've always obsessed over the scale so this is HUGE!). I make sure to carve out a few minutes each morning to focus on my mind, I'm actually waking up at 5:30 to workout — not because I have to but because I CAN and it makes me feel good! — and I'm able to reign myself in if I reach for food as comfort instead of spiraling. Stefani always emphasized the importance of keeping promises to myself, in ALL areas of my life. She gently reminded me of what I said I would do, the things I promised myself, but she never passed any judgment on my choices.

This was an extremely challenging year for me personally, and instead of falling apart, I feel stronger than ever, both mentally and physically. Stefani is one of the biggest reasons for this. I HIGHLY recommend working with her to achieve your goals — I promise you won't regret it.

I can honestly say Stefani's program has been life-changing. It was amazing and truly helped me evolve in so many ways toward becoming my greatest self. The Whole Food Detox diet plan, combined with weekly support and check-ins, was exactly what I needed. I loved interacting with all the ladies in the program and knowing we were all in it together — it made such a difference. Even now, I've been able to maintain that lifestyle because of what I learned through Stefani's guidance.

But it wasn't just about food and fitness. The way Stefani helped me work through past traumas was something I never expected, and I can honestly say that without that part of the journey, I wouldn't be where I am today. At 40, I'm at a healthy weight, I feel strong and fit, and I'm proud to say I've built my own business and meaningful relationships in the community — all of which started with this program. It was truly an honor to work with Stefani. She has a gift, and I'm forever grateful for the transformation this experience brought into my life.

I am a mama, a wife, a daughter, friend, and woman in recovery. As someone in recovery, I know first hand about the power of applying intentional changes to one's life. I also know how, after time, it's easy to become complacent and rest upon your laurels. That was me not too long ago. This slump left me emotionally, physically, and spiritually unwell. Add the craziness of isolation, distancing, and crippling overwhelming fear, and I was a complete mess — having cravings that would only lead me to one place, a place I do not and will not go. But I started giving in to sugar, big time. The vicious cycle of guilt, shame, and irrational justification had begun. Again.

I spent a lot of time on social media during this time, and I kept seeing posts for Long Island Holistic Fitness — posts of honesty and encouragement paired with the infectious smile of what appeared to be a wonderful and warm woman. I finally reached out, and she was everything she posted to be. Our initial consultation was amazing. Her knowledge on food, fitness, and emotions was inspiring. After she set up a plan, we went to work. Stefani made sure to be sensitive not only to my initial physical limitations, but my emotional and spiritual ones as well. While she was sensitive to these needs, she was also incredibly encouraging in challenging me to meet those places of myself I deeply struggled with. Working with Stefani was the reset I needed in my body, my mind, and soul. She met me where I was at, and met me where I would be. Her honesty truly motivated me because she was seeing something in me I was not seeing in myself. I look forward to working with Stefani again, and encourage anyone looking for a genuine, life-enhancing experience to reach out to her at She Creates Wellness.

After a personal tragedy I was diagnosed with PTSD and complicated grief. I had made progress with traditional therapies but my progress had plateaued. Stefani's compassionate guidance through a 3-month course of plant medicine combined with flower essences and weekly sessions helped me lift the heavy blanket of grief and move forward. Stefani embodied sensitivity and kind-heartedness into practical support and I am grateful to have worked with her.

Working with Stefani was a very positive experience. She guided me through cutting out wheat and dairy, and I noticed real improvements in how I felt. I was getting quick results because she was able to look into the root of the problem and give the right suggestions and advice. I also appreciated the detailed recommendations she gave me on where to shop for healthy foods, quality meats, and supplements. Her advice was practical, easy to follow, and made a difference in my health. I'm grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their nutrition.

Working with Stefani went far beyond nutrition. She helped me develop a healthier relationship with food while also addressing mindset, stress, and daily habits. The work we did together helped me feel more in control of my choices, build consistency in my routines, and approach my overall health in a much more balanced and sustainable way.
