your future mentor

Imagine waking up in a body that feels strong and energized. Walking into a room confident because you've learned to work with your body, not against it. Picture yourself living and leading from your highest self, taking risks, attracting opportunities, and being present to the people that you love most. This isn't a dream. It's what becomes possible inside AlignWELL.

Women are 18x more at risk for autoimmune disease due to chronic stress

Your stress and your approach to your work is keeping you from showing up as the woman you actually want to be. And the long-term cost is making a lasting impression on your current and potential health, your team,  and in the relationships that matter most to you.

Nobody wakes up and decides to wreck their bodies because of their career, the business they run, or the act of "making money" for a living. It happens when we function out of alignment, ignore the body's signals, and approach "health" as secondary.

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

Does this sound familiar?

Feeling guilty between the pull of family, potentially having kids, and/or ambition.

Overworking, skipping meals, or compromising your sleep.

Saying YES when you want to say NO, people-pleasing, or avoiding people.

Being hard on yourself that looks like self-doubt, comparison, or feeling behind.

Organized and prompt at work, while home life feels messy or unattended.

Numbing with doom-scrolling, eating, drinking, or shopping.

Inflammation, weight-gain, or weight loss.

Puffy face, bloating, or new signs of skin inflammation.

Sugar or salt cravings, even directly after eating a meal.

Irregular periods, heavy cycles, or symptoms of perimenopause.

Clenched jaw, tight shoulders, joint/back pain, shallow breathing.

Negative self-talk about your body, your choices, and where you are in life.


INTRODUCING

AlignWELL is a 12-month coaching program for ambitious women who want to feel good in their bodies WHILE building their careers, families, and lives. Over 12 months, you'll reverse chronic inflammation, master how to nourish your body to meet your goals, and embody confidence in how you move, think, and make decisions. This is leadership coaching with a wellness lens, rooted in holistic health, nervous system regulation, and life design.

You are not watching a course. You are taking action alongside us, every single week.

03

Structure creates immense freedom in your life. This is the behavior design framework that turns insights into rituals that stick forever. We look at environment, time, and delegation. Weekend prep, time blocking, and habit tracking are foundational for highly impactful weekdays.

01

Get clear on what matters in work + home.

The first two weeks are about you. We meet 1:1 for a deep-dive MAP Session — your body, your stress, your habits, your limiting beliefs, and goals for the year. You prep your space and get clear on your personal VISION, which is a tool we use to shift our thinking (and our identity) around what's possible.

02

Master tools of deep health.

The science of how nutrition, movement, rest, and inner work shapes your gut, your hormones, and your nervous system is real. You take consistent action with anti-inflammatory foods, blood sugar balance, movement for metabolism, deep rest, and the inner work to shift how you think. As a result, you will blow your mind at how the body lets go of what it doesn't want when you work with your body vs against it (at any age).

Hi, I'm STEPH.

I know what it feels like to 'pretend' that everything's ok — and I never want to go back there again.

It's exactly why I built AlignWELL. Early in my career, I had the title, the income, and the responsibilities, BUT I also gained 20+ lbs., felt puffy, bloated, my periods were irregular, I felt tired at 3pm, had intense cravings, and I knew something had to change, especially if I wanted to become a mom one day.

I made a lot of mistakes and fell into the "fixing my body" trap, thought I had to track my food, and workout intensely to shrink my body.

in one year.

So much can change

In one year, I left "mainstream fit culture" for a holistic path, became deeply connected to my power and it transformed into entrepreneurship, creative leadership, and doing things I never dreamed possible. Instead of doing more, I did less and went back to school to learn holistic, natural ways to support my body. Within 12 months, I changed my approach and as a result, lost 20+ pounds. 

It goes beyond the weight. I healed my body, had two babies (and home birthed) while leading creative teams in tech, 10x'd my income, and became the first millionaire in my family. I did it by honoring my body, doing the identity work that quiets the inner critic, and learning to lead from intuition instead of force. Now I help women do the same because when we shift, our impact shifts.

"Her leadership reflects a balance of masculine and feminine energy, knowing there's a time and place for everything."

You don't wait until you're ready. You become ready by doing.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT DAY TO START.

HOW IT WORKS

What one year looks like

AlignWELL is a year-long container by design. In the first two weeks, you'll do your foundational vision work to get clear on what matters. By the end of the first 90 days, you'll see and feel real changes in your body and how you're showing up. And yes—you may regress. That is a normal part of implementing new tools. I'm there to hold you in the process.

There are 5 phases.

MONTH 0

Map

Before we change anything, we look at everything. Your body, your habits, your stress load, your time, and you learn to "sketch" the first draft of your VISION.

We identify root causes and establish a clear starting point, and learn how to use bio-feedback as the data.

01

02

We shift nutrition using anti-inflammatory foods that work with your body, not against them. Movement is adjusted—and you learn new tools for repair and how to support detox pathways. 

Most participants notice a physical shift within the first 3-4 weeks.

MONTHS 1-3

Restore

With the body stabilizing, we go deeper. This phase surfaces the subconscious beliefs and behavioral patterns that have been driving your habits all along.

 This is where lasting change gets built.

03

MONTHS 4-6

Reframe

The internal shifts begin showing up externally. The things you've been putting off start moving because the conditions for them finally exist.

You start to see fear peel away and you are taking immense action.

04

MONTHS 7-9

Activate

This is integration. The tools, the practices, the identity — they're yours now. You lead differently. You show up differently. And what you model, the people around you begin to inherit.

Life looks and feels different. You've defined a new normal.


05

MONTHS 10-12

Embody

The most unselfish thing you can do for your family and your team is to show up for you.

You're a leader. You're also still a person.

THIS ISN'T FOR EVERYONE

So...who is this for?

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

You have a track record of working hard, but struggle with your own personal care, health and boundaries.

You want to feel more energy, strength and confidence, but not sure how to get there.

You're in (or approaching) a season where everything is shifting—perimenopause, motherhood, postpartum, career shift, entrepreneurship, or navigating a diagnosis.

You are committed to making your health a foundation for your life.

You are ready to break ceilings and reach new potential in your personal and professional life.

You want a 30-day reset, a quick fix, or a magic supplement protocol.

You're looking for someone to tell you exactly what to eat. (You don't need a meal plan, you need a framework.)

You're not willing to look at the beliefs and identity underneath the behaviors. (That's where the work is.)

You're not willing to invest in yourself or do the work, and tend to have a negative, resistant attitude about growth.

You aren't willing to think openly, or try new approaches to your goals.

“You really see how everything is interconnected. If you feel depleted, you already know that you aren't working (and living) at your optimal level.”

YOUR FUTURE MENTOR

Why trust me?

If you've read this page this far, you are beyond curious about what is possible for you. When you tune into your inner compass, you make choices that feel right. I don't need to convince you to join AlignWELL. You will know.

For the last 15 years of my career, I've been in Creative Leadership creating cool stuff, but more importantly growing teams, working with talented people, and honing the skills of mentorship to help people break ceilings of what is possible for them.

While pursing a design career, I've spent north of $150k in education and coaching in holistic nutrition, sports nutrition, executive and creative leadership, and learning tools in neuroscience to not only help myself, but also to help my teams. At one point I thought I'd quit design and open a health food cafe, but I'm so glad the Creator led me to exactly where I am today.

You will know when you found the right mentor.

The tools of holistic health and nutrition gave me the foundation to navigate pregnancies, home birth, healing my body from chronic stress, naturally healing my son's eczema without steroids, and currently preparing me for the next wave of womanhood—perimenopause. 

The very tools I will teach you, will support a body that decreases your chances of disease, nudges you to look at life as an adventure, show you how to feed your family/community, and helps you to navigate a healthy journey rooted in self-love through ALL milestones of achievements in your life. 

Becoming a mom changed me, and I'm very much into this season of my life. 

I began my professional career as a designer in tech, all because I struggled to understand academic concepts in elementary school until my mom drew me pictures. 

I discovered I was a visual learner and from there I fell in love with the power of what design can do for others.

My mom is my greatest mentor. She was a single parent after my dad passed away from a heart-attack and growing up with little money, shaped my "hustle" to succeed and provide. I worked incredibly hard until my own body stopped working, and I'm so glad I paused to listen to what "she" was telling me. I believe hitting rock bottom put me on a path to discover a different approach to career and success, while rooting myself in holistic nutrition and a daily practice that led me to conceive my children—our greatest teachers.

You can't control the outcome, but you can control the inputs.

Coaching, Q&A, guest visitors, and community. You bring work and health to the table. It's the most "loved" part of the experience.

Weekly group coaching calls

Guided transformation through visuals and sound. Some modules are intentionally designed for walks. It's also where we host community engagement.

PORTAL & curriculum

Seasonal and meal guides, plate-building tools, kitchen setup, and food prep templates. No intense tracking. You use simple methods to support your body and goals.

Nutrition framework

You don't create a linear roadmap. You get clear on your vision, shift how you see yourself, and learn to use your inner compass — forever.

VISION & IDENTITY WORK

Everyone is different. You move away from following mainstream advice and start using your own body's data to create real, lasting change.

BIOFEEDBACK JOURNALING

Experts who expand your tools for a well-rounded healthy body and mind. We cover topics like hormones, leadership, personal brand, money, and more.

Faq's

How much time does this take each week?
It's built for women with full lives. Weekly group calls, curriculum modules you can listen to on walks, and daily practices that take minutes, not hours.

Do you support women only?
All genders are welcome. I am a woman and know that path intimately — and the program is built from that lived experience. But if this work resonates with you, you belong here.

Will I lose weight?
Every single one of my students who had a goal to lose weight, lost fat. But the approach is different. When you reduce inflammation, balance hormones, regulate your nervous system, and shift the beliefs driving your habits—the body relinquishes what it no longer needs. I personally have lost over 20lbs before I had kids, and over 30lbs after birthing my babes using the tools I teach you. My husband lost over 35+ lbs. Most women see body composition changes, and more importantly build a lifestyle that sticks forever.

What about menopause and perimenopause?
This is deeply personal for me. I'll be entering perimenopause soon and I'm already intentional about the experience I want to have as my body transitions. The nutrition framework inside AlignWELL is built around anti-inflammatory whole foods, blood sugar management, and hormonal support — all of which are foundational for navigating perimenopause and menopause with strength. Keeping inflammation low and blood sugar stable reduces disease risk, supports body composition, and keeps you feeling like yourself through every season of life.

Can I do this if I'm pregnant?
Absolutely. Honestly, I wish I had this when I was pregnant and preparing for motherhood. The nutrition framework, nervous system tools, and identity work are some of the most powerful things you can do during that season. As always, loop in your OB or midwife so everything is aligned with your care team.

What if I'm managing a condition like hypothyroidism or hormonal issues?
AlignWELL works alongside your existing medical care. Most protocols your doctor or naturopath recommends require lifestyle changes, ie: nutrition, stress reduction, sleep, movement. That's exactly what we build together. You'll finally have the structure to implement what they've been asking you to do.

What are your qualifications?
Outside of living this methodology myself — I received a B.A. in Design with a minor in Ethnic Studies, built and led global creative teams supporting multi-million and billion dollar brands, and served in Creative Leadership at the VP level, supporting C-suite executives through IPO and various brand pivots/launches.

In the health space, I'm certified in Holistic Nutrition with a specialty in gut and hormone health (Institute for Integrative Nutrition), certified in Sports Nutrition and Performance (Precision Nutrition), trained in Leadership Design Thinking (IDEO) and Nervous System Regulation for Professionals (Jessica Maguire — renowned physiotherapist, pioneering vagus nerve researcher, and TEDx Speaker), and actively studying The Neuroscience of Leadership and Emotional Mastery at Stanford.

Will my company pay for coaching like this?
When I was "in-house / corporate," I budgeted funds to invest in my team leader's learning and expansion, including coaching. Your company may partially or fully pay for coaching, so I encourage you to apply and add that to the notes section so I can support you in how to communicate the request to HR / your manager. Ultimately, it's up to them, but you need to be an advocate for yourself first.
