My Story

I’m Stephanie. I’m a veteran, a trauma survivor, and a mom to two beautiful twin boys in heaven and four beautiful children on earth. I am a stay-at-home mom (fulltime). I am also the creator of Cor.E.Motions, LLC. This isn’t just a business; it’s my soul on display. It’s built every hard-earned moment of healing I’ve lived through, and it’s dedicated to my sons, Anthony J. and Frank Thomas, who fuel everything I do. I live with PTSD. I’ve seen, lost, and felt things that changed me forever. BUT trauma isn’t weakness; it’s adaptation. It’s your body and mind doing what they need to. And while we can’t go back to who we were yesterday, we can build something better tomorrow. I served in the Navy and later worked in the medical field, specializing in cardiovascular ultrasound and stroke risk screening. I hold a bachelor’s degree in public health, and I’ve spent years helping people understand their bodies their health. But I also know that healing isn’t just clinical; it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal. Sometimes healing looks like movement... Sometimes it looks like music. Sometimes it looks like a warm meal with people who get it. I share pieces of my life on my little homestead—recipes, stories, and the kind of homemade food that like a hug. Because wellness isn’t one-dimensional; it’s layered. It’s lived. On my website and Instagram, I show up as myself. I cry. Sometimes I cuss (only on IG, I promise). But I always keep it real. I’m not here to be perfect; I’m here to be honest. I want people to know they’re not alone—that healing is, beautiful, and possible. And when we’re on floor—whether it’s during a workout, a stretch, or a moment of stillness—my clients are in charge. I also like to help people understand how to deal with those who may have trauma themselves, thanks to years of therapy (and many kinds of). See, my clients are the boss. They are leaders. I’m just the guide, helping them get to where they are ready to stand on their own. I don’t push; I support. I don’t fix; I walk beside. Cor.e.Motions is movement with meaning. It’s ritual, rhythm, and., it’s a space where you’re allowed to be messy, happy, and in progress. So, if you’re looking for a place to move your body, feel feelings, and maybe laugh and/or cry your way through a playlist, I got you. Let’s move through it together.
