Why Should You Work With Me?

"Stephanie is a rare combination of brilliance: highly competent, creative, and empathetic. She seems to know what I need before I do and puts a lot of thought into our sessions. She has produced a change that I didn't think was possible. I am grateful for working with her and I look forward to working with her in the future."

"Honestly one of the most educational and helpful experiences in my life. 

I found myself after 35 years of marriage becoming a widower and being scared and unaware of what the world out there held for me. Stephanie gave me a safe and caring place to learn about myself and women in general. Her focus was never to teach me tricks or moves, but rather to help me figure out why I was doing things and how I could be intentional in my actions. She has a great balance of common sense and real world experiences that are a rare find. 

After a few sessions, I had the confidence to put myself out there on Bumble and immediately found a match. The confidence and education that the sessions with Stephanie gave me allowed me to be authentic in my communications and present on our dates. I’ve been able to meet someone and have a meaningful relationship that has been amazing for me in my healing and growing process.

I highly recommend working with Stephanie if you are open to learn and get honest, direct and caring feedback. I truly can not thank her enough for her help.

"I was struggling with a new lack of intimacy in my marriage. Not sure where to turn, I found your website and thought you would be a good person to reach out to for advice and guidance.

I experienced a different way of thinking about intimacy. The need to break out of established patterns that had gone stale and left us both unfulfilled. I gained a deeper understanding of what drives true intimacy. Especially in long term monogamous relationships. How to communicate better with what I’m feeling and where I would like our relationship to be.

My favorite aspect was being able to open up about what I was feeling without the fear of being judged or ridiculed. Until I reached out to you I had no one I could talk to about how and what I was feeling. I felt stuck with no path forward. You created an environment where I could communicate to you what I wanted, where I wanted to go and then provided guidance to get me there. After just a few sessions with you I had clarity on how to move forward.

I would definitely recommend that anyone struggling with relationship and or intimacy issues reach out to you and schedule a session. With your life experience, I think you can help anyone struggling with many of life’s challenges.

You have been a blessing to my life. Reaching out to you when I did was the best decision I made in searching for a solution to my struggles. I have been able to move forward and I’m better for it."

"Working with Stephanie feels genuinely transformative. She’s driven by a real desire to solve the problem, not just to show up, collect money, and hope for the best. That kind of commitment is rare in this field. She’s highly intelligent, with an analytical mind that approaches a challenge from multiple angles without ever shying away from uncomfortable territory. Even when I shared some of my darker, more vulnerable thoughts, she never flinched or treated me like a problem to be managed — she simply continued to see me as a whole person, and helped me process what I was carrying. 

Beyond her skill, she’s just easy to be around. There’s no judgment, no hidden expectations, just a space where I felt at home almost immediately. If you’re looking for someone who combines compassion with competence, book a call with Stephanie!"

"After my long-term partner suddenly decided that she wanted to move on, I was thrown back into the dating pool with very little preparation. A couples counseling professional suggested I contact Stephanie for support getting back into this new part of my life.

Before working with Stephanie, I didn't know how the sessions would go. But they are meant to be relaxing and comfortable, while at the same time educational and introspective times to explore yourself in a safe environment.

Our sessions became stress free conversations about intimacy that felt more like a master class than a counseling session. Sometimes it is the smallest correction or comment that ends up sticking with me or making a big impact in my personal life.

Stephanie helped me better understand my partner's experiences, and that helped me have better experiences with my partner. If you're ready to check your ego at the door and become better at intimacy, show up, listen and trust that you're not already a pro at everything. You might just learn something valuable."

"I am a disabled veteran with some physical and emotional limitations. The biggest barrier to meeting with Stephanie for me was opportunity to travel to her area.  I did not have any emotional hesitations to meet with her after having several video meetings.

Based upon our time together, I have a much better understanding of the physical limitations that I have and what can be overcome.

Stephanie creates a comfortable environment with a focus on the whole person.  She is very easy to be around. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone considering the use of a coach and surrogate.  I did not find any part of our time together to be unproductive or uneducating. Don't hesitate.

"Having recently gotten out of a long-term relationship, I wanted to address some issues that I had been struggling with. Mainly being more present and connected with a partner.

Meeting someone in this capacity was very different than anything I had done previously. I had quite a bit of hesitation, but Stephanie has a calming presence and is very professional.

Stephanie showed me how to slow down and be more intentional in order to tune into what my partner needs and wants. It was nice being in the low pressure and supportive environment that Stephanie creates. There are rarely times that this is an option with a romantic partner.

I would recommend working with Stephanie for anyone that wants to be seen and feel supported. It was a very pleasurable experience while also being informative and educational."

"I was having trouble with my sex life and never dated much or had many opportunities.  I came across a web site for sex surrogates and contacted them and a therapist. With the help of them they connected me with a surrogate partner, however it was not what I was expecting.  We never even got to doing what I thought we were going to do. So I did some more research and found Stephanie at Sacred Eros and got in contact with her.

I explained about my past and how I never had intercourse and that I was inexperienced and needed help. I hired her to come and see me for a few days and she was wonderful. She helped me through things that, back when I was a kid, no one, not even sex ed, talked about or discussed. I was very pleased with her and would recommend her to anyone who is in my situation or just doesn't know where to start."

“Stephanie came recommended from another therapist I was working with, a recommendation that came with very high praise for her aptitude, sensitivity and capacity to hold space for another in vulnerability. All were accurate 100%. Stephanie is highly engaging as well as respectful of the issues you bring to her, allowing for a very easy, filter-free environment where you can explore things together without judgment. Perhaps most importantly for a surrogate, she is able to track you as she works with you, detecting small changes in your body's language and energy to better assist overall in what you want to overcome or where you want to go. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants to be their best sexual self!”

“Stephanie was amazing to work with. I was back on the dating scene after being married for almost 20 years. I was nervous, self-conscious, and feeling awkward about being intimate with new women. Stephanie was perfect for helping me through this tough time. She made me feel comfortable, she’s easy to talk to, and totally professional. I’m glad I worked with her; she helped me get back to where I wanted to be.”

“Thank you for creating an environment where I feel empowered to share and work on myself! You have already helped me more than you could ever know. [...] As a disabled person, there is nothing that makes me feel more seen and validated than when I tell someone about my disabilities, they have never experienced such a thing and are confused, and then they go home and Google it! [...] The only reason I am able to feel able to work on this is on account of how comfortable you have already made me."

"I feel so grateful to have had Stephanie as my dating coach! I have worked with her for a few weeks and our time together has been unbelievable. She is friendly, intelligent, and easy to learn from. Part of her coaching was to help me move through the psychological blocks that were holding me back and limiting what I thought was possible.

We tried so many fun activities together like going on practice dates, walking outside and holding hands, and cuddling. Stephanie would make suggestions and share important observations which I did not notice at first, like practicing better body language, and most importantly eye contact. I appreciated how she could help lead me when I wasn't sure what to do or say. The more time I spent with her, the more I felt comfortable communicating, something I would struggle with as an introvert. 

From my experience, there is nothing more effective than one-on-one coaching in the dating world. Our sessions were something special I could do for myself to improve, and I remember looking forward to the next one. I wish I met her earlier, it would have saved me so many unnecessary mistakes when I was first starting out. You can only date the way you practice.  I owe any and all success I have in future dating to my time with Stephanie."
