Stephanie Papadakis

I’m Stephanie, a trauma-informed holistic nutrition consultant, grief specialist, and transformational life coach. I help people deal with grief and trauma in order to heal the gut.  After experiencing my own grief, trauma, and health issues, I dedicated myself to helping others heal their broken hearts and address physical health issues caused by emotional stress - like poor digestive health, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune diseases. I truly believe that when we honor our grief and give ourselves permission to feel all of our emotions, we can begin to restore balance in our lives and find true happiness. Although I don’t have an autoimmune disease, the three most important women in my life all have autoimmune thyroid diseases. Upon my mother’s diagnosis of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis in 2014, I scoured the research on how to naturally treat autoimmune diseases. This experience helped me realize that I want to help people feel like their best selves through both emotional and nutritional guidance, as well as be an active participant in reversing chronic disease, which led me to getting certified from Bauman College. I’ve dealt with my own digestive (SIBO/IBS) and hormonal issues (endometriosis) for years. I know how horrible it feels to eat most foods and always end up gassy and bloated. I know what it’s like to be in the bathroom for hours out of the day. I know what it’s like to feel like someone is ripping out your insides once a month for seven days. I deeply understand the frustration of dealing with doctors and never getting an answer. I'm also not above taking medication to regulate mental health. I tried to do without it. It didn't work. I balance meds with nutrition, mental health, and lifestyle support in a way that best suits me, and can help you do the same. I came into this field for many reasons, including trying to understand how to address my own emotional and physical healing, but most of all, to help you gain the knowledge you need to find your path to optimal health. I look forward to working with you!
