Stephanie L. Parsley (PhD) Available: In Person - Vittorio Veneto, Italy Certification Date: November 2024 Languages: English, Italian   About Stephanie: Hi there, my name is Stephanie and I feel so privileged to be able to offer Gaia Pollini's unique "Being Me" approach to accompanying individuals self-heal from their pasts. After my own first therapeutic session with Gaia, I immediately knew that her approach was exactly what I needed to turn my own life around and break the inter-generational cycle of trauma. I have since dedicated the best part of six years to doing just that and, thanks to Gaia's three-year training, developing the plethora of skills needed to help others do the same. More of a "calling of the soul" and "life purpose" than a mere career, my sincerest wish is to play my own small part in bringing "Being Me Therapy" out into the world and truly make a difference. As a British ex-pat living in north-east Italy and proud mother of two amazing children, my other passions include my animals, my veggie garden, hiking in the Dolomites and all life experiences and teachings that nudge towards transcendence of the ego...
