I’m a health and wellness life coach with an added focus on special needs families. 

Why special needs? Because after 15 years of caring for so many amazing special needs kids, I came to understand the incredible challenges faced by their families. The demands placed upon them go beyond anything I could have ever imagined. That being said…

I’m not here to tell you how to live your life.

I’m not a therapist or a mentor or a consultant. And I’m not going to “fix” you because – here’s the thing – you’re not broken. I’m here to simply support you on your quest for something. This could be a desire to lose weight, engage in more creativity, find some peace, ask for a raise, spend more (or less) time with your family/friends/four-leggeds, boost your exercise regimen or whatever’s gonna help you feel better about yourself and your life. Because the truth is, we all drift off course. ALL of us. I’m just here to help you get back on course.

And I’m here to be your support system.

I’m the person with whom you’ll celebrate your successes – no matter how “small”. But I’m also the person to whom you’ll be accountable when you don’t quite meet those goals. Don’t worry. There will be no screaming, gnashing of teeth or shaming. You get plenty of that already. I’ll just help you get back on track in an encouraging and supportive way which may or may not include chocolate.

So no matter who you are, if you’ve got some area(s) in your life that could use a little reworking, then shoot me (Steph) an email at stephruopp@wordstringer.org. 

Let’s talk.
