Unleash Your Authentic Self
Unlock New Ways of Thinking, Feeling, and Living Authentically
Welcome to a space designed for those who are ready to break free from the limitations of the past and step into a life that reflects who you truly are. At STIR Institute, we work with high achievers—individuals, couples, and business leaders—who feel a deep desire for more: more authenticity, more connection, and more alignment with their true selves. Even with outward success, there can be a sense of something missing—an ache for deeper fulfillment or a feeling of being ‘stuck.’ Through innovative methods that blend psychology, power dynamics, and somatic awareness, we guide you to shed old patterns and embrace the life that calls to you.
Tailored Experiences for Every Need
Each STIR service is carefully curated to empower you with new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving that align with your deepest desires—whether that’s a fulfilling relationship, inner peace or authentic leadership.
Using Transactional Analysis, Re-Decision Therapy, and the profound nuances of leadership and followership drawn from my training, we help you navigate the delicate balance of authority, vulnerability, and personal power in a safe, supportive space.
Our Services Include:
Transformational

Client Testimonials:
“You solved a problem and dove deeper in two sessions than I ever got with my former therapist." -S.D.
"Past me would have sat on [that issue] for days…maybe even weeks. Old me would have played through the end of that evening over and over in her head. Beat herself up and agonized over how she didn't do as she wanted to…and how it was her fault for not speaking up. Instead, I realized it was not my fault. I took my power back and it felt great!” -Y.H.

While the activity here may sound like ‘therapy’ it is not, and should not take the place of working with a licensed therapist.
