Hey!
I’m Stephanie Ciambella
pronounced Shim-BELL-uh
I could easily say my career as a life coach has been decades in the making.
I’ve been fascinated with personal development since I was a pre-teen. Losing my mom in a car accident when I was 11, I started seeking out an understanding of the purpose of life and how to make life feel easier. I’ve always devoured information and I can easily spend hours having a deep conversation about the meaning of life and how we experience it. My curiosities have led me to explore different cultures, languages, philosophies, and world-views. I indulge in gathering information about how to become happier, healthier, more successful.
With each new obstacle I’ve faced in life - and oh there’s been plenty! - I’ve been determined to come out on top.
In my early thirties, life seemed to throw nonstop chaos at me. I lost a second parent and a beloved pet, had back-to-back pregnancies, was overworked in an emotionally-draining career, and navigated health problems for myself, my husband, and my children. I certainly felt overwhelmed, but I got curious, I got resourceful, and I asked questions. I chose to believe that it was worth it to pursue a life worth living - a life with grief and joy, a life with love for others and self, and a life filled with purpose. So I did.
Now, as a life coach, I combine my professional training with what I learned through my own experiences in order to help you navigate the obstacles in your life and experience a life you love!
As a Certified Life Coach, I’m trained in techniques that support and guide you through various challenges:
career changes
weight loss
life transitions
running a business
parenting and relationships
stepping into a new role or
finding peace in your current role
I’m here to help you create more satisfaction, fulfillment, and meaning in your life.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me…
Reading something or listening to Blinkist or podcasts - collecting information and stories
Enjoying the ride of having two kids who are growing up and experiencing the world
Tending to my houseplants or deciding what flowering plant to add to my garden
Daydreaming about my next adventure
I believe…
Knowledge is power
A good night’s sleep is self love
Investing in health and well-being is invaluable
We are not on Earth to break and stay broken
If you aren’t happy, change your perspective or change your circumstances
There’s beauty in everything if you take notice
I’m not about…
Small Talk - let’s go deep!
Burning the candle from both ends
Complaining or blaming others for our problems
Deception - I hate candid camera shows!
Making unrealistic goals that set up disappointment
