Meet Stephanie Breese

Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephanie Breese.

Hi Stephanie, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Hello! I suppose in a nutshell I would describe myself as a soul on a mission to awaken within this complex universe we are all living in. I’m deeply fascinated by the study of consciousness and the existence of energy beyond what we can perceive through our physical senses. We have so much to learn from the wisdom of our ancient ancestors, and I’m on a journey to connect back into ancient traditions of healing with energy frequencies and plant medicines.

A big theme of my life has been to embody a sense of balance and liberation by forging my own path, redefining the notions of happiness and success as the individual experiences that they are. I think many of us grow up feeling a heavy weight of what the external world expects from us. We find ourselves operating along a linear model of milestones for achievement, primarily based around survival and status.

I often felt like a caged bird within the structures and systems of our culture. I had built a career as a creative producer, yet I was constantly soul-searching for how I could be of service to the world. My outer reality didn’t feel aligned with what my inner intuition was nudging me towards – a frustrating feeling that there was a bigger, unrealized purpose than I was fulfilling in my day job.

Oftentimes, the most difficult and painful experiences were the ones that rocket launched dramatic shift and change. I started to experiment with unconventional modalities for healing, and after profound personal experiences, dove deep into studying hands-on energy healing, vibrational sound techniques, and herbalism.

An inner knowing became a clear vision that I was meant to be sharing these healing practices. I left my job to devote my energy to further spiritual exploration, traveling to Bali to study Ashtanga yoga, a beautiful path of awakening to our interconnectedness. I returned to LA to begin a new professional undertaking, which I put forth with passion, love and intention for healing the individual, the collective and the planet. As I follow the guidance of my inner compass, I am lit up inside by this work and look forward to seeing where it leads me.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
It is often said that Earth is a school where souls come to learn and evolve. In that sense, no life journey is a smooth one because we literally came here to experience the bumps in the road. I have found that every challenge is an invitation to search for deeper meaning of what we are experiencing and uncover complex inner aspects of ourselves. Our obstacles gift us with new perspective over the situation so we may redirect and try again from a new authentic starting point.

For me, walking away from an accelerating career, uprooting a stable foundation and financial security without an exact plan for the road ahead was a risky decision. It took me a long time to close that door so that I could open a new one. The more misaligned I felt, the more I recognized that I needed to take a leap despite not knowing where I would land. It required completely surrendering to trust and faith that all would fall into place.

My transition is still a work in progress. Along the way, I have run into roadblocks that I’ve come to recognize as my own limited beliefs: overcoming self-doubt, the need to be perfect, and acknowledging the value of my gifts and service in order to receive in the form of financial exchange. I had to find my voice and really look at the parts of me that held back from being seen and heard, deconstructing the root source of the wounds and blockages that create resistance.

At times I felt overwhelmed and paralyzed. But by being patient with myself as I navigated my new territory, I embodied a deeper sense of self-love and acceptance. I am continually learning to listen closer to messages from the universe, to flow through discomfort and step into my own power so that I may be a pure, open channel of support for others.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I would consider myself an explorer of using frequency and vibration as natural medicine for the mind, body and spirit. Sound is my primarily tool, as it has been so profoundly healing for me personally. By creating harmonious tonal frequencies with quartz crystal bowls, Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, and other instruments, I aim to set a safe space that allows the mind to quiet and the awareness to turn inward. In this state, our own life force steps in to heal by repatterning cellular structure and recalibrating our entire being by stimulating the flow of energetic charge in the body and its outer electromagnetic field.

I also love to integrate sound with other practices that balance the energy body, with offerings that combine sound meditation and reiki, yoga nidra, and yoga asana flows, and by incorporating multi-sensory frequencies of color, scent, light and intention. This year I plan to expand my studies and transition into a new space where I can create a sacred studio for sessions, workshops and developing herbal products. I also look forward to bringing sound healing into schools, hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and creative spaces, hosting retreats and collaborating on research studying the effects of sound vibration on physical healing.

My goal is to unite the science and spirituality of energy medicine and I feel it has a big part to play in health and healing in the future. I feel grateful to be transforming my soul’s passion into my profession, to dedicate my energy into work that accelerates the vibration of love and expands human consciousness. We live in a vibrational universe and even if we don’t understand the way that subtle, invisible energy works in and around us, it impacts every aspect of our lives and ripples out to the entire collective consciousness.

Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
Although we each experienced the effects of the pandemic through our own unique predicament, we share the commonality that in 2020 our approach to life altered as we knew it. When change happens, we learn and transform, whether we consciously realize it or not.

Covid provided us with a unique opportunity to physically disconnect from our familiar routines in the external world and to bring the energy inward – not just by being inside at home, but to really look within and take inventory of the emotional quality of our lives. It was an invitation to evaluate our situation and everything we thought we knew and understood from a different perspective. To ask ourselves: What do we really want to prioritize? What aspects of our lives need more balance? To what extent has technology pulled us from our connection with nature? When we are truly happy, how do we project that onto others versus when we are stressed or tired? How can we cultivate more meaningful relationships? Are we held back from our fullest expression by our own limiting beliefs? Do we recognize our triggers and see them as wounds that yearn to heal? When difficult situations arise, do we react out of a place of fear or respond from a place of compassion? Are we living in the now moment – or worrying about the future or clinging to the past?

All of a sudden, we were given the time and space for self-inquiry, and the frames of reference through which we live our lives will evolve unavoidably as a result.
We all truly just want the same thing: to feel safe and free. We have different perspectives of how to get there, but we must all have compassion for the viewpoints that come from the unique life experiences and personal truths of others. We are all connected, and we can all learn from one another as humanity transforms. I hold a vision that lessons from the pandemic will help lead us towards a future where unity and diversity are contained within one another, and our newfound wisdom brings balance, peace, and respect for all beings, our animals and our planet.
