Testimonials

“Stephanie inspired me to be intentional about my life, to dig deeper into my identity and utilize what I learned about myself through the IPSAT coaching process, to engage in a more rewarding and motivated life experience. ” Val Shank
"I have just finished a 3-month coaching program with Stephanie at Beacon Coaching. Steph is a kind and compassionate woman and that comes through in her coaching style. Steph is passionate about helping people find their personal values and strengths — the things you don't realize you need to know, but desperately do. When we first started working together, I thought I needed Steph to help me plan my business, things like products and prices. What I didn't realize I needed was Steph's incredible ability to tap into an inner saboteur, or critic, and teach it to be quiet. I would recommend Steph as a coach if you are an entrepreneur, a "solopreneur" or a small business owner who sometimes doubts herself. That I do significantly less so now after working with Steph is a more powerful return on my investment than I could have hoped for.”Rebecca Perrin, Founder at Brand Editor “Identity Mapping & Business Development” client
“Upon meeting Stephanie for the first time I was struck by her excitement, energy and authenticity. She has been instrumental in helping me become "unstuck" and through her coaching assignments I was able to figure out what new career path to take!! Since then I continue to rely on her coaching to overcome obstacles and challenges in being a new businesses owner. I have also learned the importance of celebrating victories and learning from challenges rather then being discouraged by them. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone looking for personal and/or professional development.” Dagmara Marie, Interior Stager & Decorator Identity Mapping and business marketing client
Stephanie came highly recommended, and I’m so glad I was able to work with her! Over the past year, Stephanie has helped me turn my idea into an actual business. She helped me to stay focused, encouraged my creativity, and most importantly, she reeled me back when I started sinking into self-doubt. I had researched a few other coaches before hiring Stephanie, but Stephanie stood out because she was personable and didn’t make me feel like another number in her schedule. Since I was at the beginning of planning out my business, I needed my coach to be excited along with me so that I could have the confidence to push through the times when I doubted myself. I needed a coach with empathy, who wasn’t all about “the bottom line.” After my first phone call with Stephanie, I remember hanging up and feeling so relieved because I knew I’d just found the coach who balanced insight and logic, while also being honest and encouraging.

Working with Stephanie has helped me move forward in life and set professional goals with effective and focused actions.  Accountability was a huge motivator for me and Stephanie has the professional skills to guide and direct me on the best path.  She created true and positive momentum in my new business start up.  Work/Life balance was also important to me, and Stephanie made a few key suggestions that completely reframed the way I see things.  Every life journey is personal and unique.  Stephanie has the professional ability to help you make the most of your journey and achieve goals in a healthy and positive way.Heidi Stabler, Jewelry Designer, H Studio Workshop attendee Identity Mapping program client
“Stephanie Jackson helped me through the darkest time of my life.   She was like a beacon of light to guide me through some confusing and tumultuous circumstances of my separation.   She was able to help me make significant self-discoveries.  This enabled me to get myself back on my feet in order to make important life decisions. Her emotional and spiritual mentoring really "rescued" me in a time of crisis.   I would highly recommend Stephanie as a life coach!  Her workshops are always enlightening ... Thank you Stephanie for being there for me when I was so desperate!”Jenny C. Identity Mapping client
“I have known Stephanie as a patient  for years, and only recently have I known her as a lifestyle coach/motivational speaker . I hosted and attended one of her group sessions and invited close friends and some of my patients to attend.  Her seminars are not only inspiring and motivating, but they offer real life, practical methods to get past or through life’s many challenges/personal growth opportunities. I highly recommend Stephanie as a motivational, inspiring teacher and/or long-term Life Coach.”Dr. Carolinne Aleman Hernandez, B.SC., DC Workshop attendee

“I attended the ‘Slippers & Tea’ weekend retreat with Beacon Coaching and Ashmeade Fitness and I have to say it was a wonderful time away. Not just because I could relax and not cook any meals and have some girl time but also because the focus of the weekend was health and wellness: healthy mind, body and spirit. I really enjoyed the sessions and was given a lot of food for thought for further digestion later as well as practical tips that I could implement immediately in the areas of positive thinking, being courageous, healthy eating and exercise. Stephanie from Beacon Coaching and Tiffany from Ashmeade Fitness were both welcoming, relaxed and worked hard to create a beautiful environment for us to relax and indulge in self-reflection.” Sarah Kreick, Mom, Independent Skincare Consultant Retreat attendee and Clarity Call client
“Stéphanie is a go-getter… very determined! She pulls people together, kind of like glue.. the best kind of glue! The kind that keeps a family together or a friend. She pulls the gold out of people, truly a cheerleader, and champion of women. She is real–not afraid to get vulnerable and let people in. Stéphanie is full of vision for her life, and lives with that vision in front of her… she ACTUALLY does the things!!!”  Katrina Robert, Graphic Designer/Artist
