SHED & RISE: An 8-Week Journey of Intentional Transformation

In this Year of the Snake, you're being called to shed what no longer serves you. Just as the snake knows exactly when to release its old skin, you too have an innate wisdom about what needs to go. This 8-week container is your sacred space to release, transform, and emerge renewed.

Just as the snake enters a period of vulnerability during its transformation, this process requires courage and trust. But beneath what you're releasing, a new, more resilient version of you is already forming. The snake doesn't question its timing or doubt its process - it surrenders to its natural cycles of renewal.

This Journey is For You If:

  • 🚫 You feel the weight of patterns that no longer serve you


    You recognise behaviours and thoughts that once protected you but now hold you back. Perhaps it's people-pleasing that drains your energy, perfectionism that keeps you stuck, or relationship patterns that leave you feeling unfulfilled. You want to release these heavy patterns.

  • 🐍 You're ready to transform quietly yet powerfully


    You're drawn to transformation that doesn't require grand gestures. You value deep, meaningful change that happens beneath the surface. You're ready for the kind of transformation that others notice not because you announce it, but because they see how differently you move through the world.

  • 🫀 You seek to move with purpose, not pressure


    You're tired of the "hustle harder" mentality and forced personal growth. Instead, you're drawn to intentional change that honours your natural rhythm. You want to move forward not because you "should," but because something deep within you is ready to evolve. You're seeking alignment that comes from inner wisdom, not external pressure.

  • 🏹 You want to respond to life with precision, not reaction


    You notice how your reactions sometimes create more problems than solutions. Like the snake that moves with calculated precision, you want to develop the ability to pause, assess, and respond thoughtfully to life's challenges. You're ready to trade impulsive reactions for conscious responses that align with your true values.

  • 🐅 You're prepared to shed old stories and limiting beliefs


    You've become aware of the narratives that have shaped your life - stories about who you are, what you're capable of, and what you deserve. Like old skin that's grown too tight, these stories no longer fit who you're becoming. You're ready to release these limitations and write a new story that reflects your evolving truth.

Meet your guide

Stefania Arzamendia

I was tired and bored of therapy taking too long, the lack of advice I was receiving when I needed guidance, the coldness of the therapists and having to go on and on about my story only to be asked how it all made me feel…so I decided to do therapy MY way. Therapy-like, but sometimes, telling my clients where it’s at instead of waiting ages until they figure it out because it helps them, saves them time, and gives them a taste of possibility as their lives start improving.

Like many of us, my path has been marked by profound challenges – moments of deep suffering, anxiety, and encounters with abuse that threatened to define me. Yet these experiences, painful as they were, became the cornerstones of my transformation. Through my healing journey, I discovered that our deepest wounds often hold the seeds of our greatest growth. Today, I stand in profound gratitude for these challenges, recognizing them as catalysts that awakened me to greater consciousness and understanding.

I received my undergraduate degree in B.Sc. in Psychology from the University of Barcelona and I have a M.A. in Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapy from the Erich Fromm Institute of Barcelona. I also trained with Dr. Gabor Maté in Compassionate Inquiry, a massive part of my approach within my therapy practice and personal life. I’ve also earned my certificate as a Holistic Health Coach from the Academy of Healing Nutrition in London, which I integrate into my therapeutic practice as the mind and body are interconnected and we cannot speak of the mind without touching on the way we nourish our body.

I am a trauma-informed therapist with a person-centred approach that is grounded in Gestalt therapy, Transactional Analysis, Compassionate Inquiry, as well as somatic healing tecniques such as TRE.

A big part of my studies includes spending time with the indigenous people of Brazil and Colombia, learning their ways, and so naturally, a big influence in my interventions includes traditional ancient techniques rooted in nature.

Testimonials

  • "This lady has totally transformed my life and body. I came to Stefania with a variety of problems (stomach, digestion, anxiety, depression), mainly coming from living life to the edge whilst working many long hours in a very stressful job; burning the candle at both ends.  Her insightful knowledge and intuition, easy-to-implement strategies, and compassionate nature, changed my health and life. 


    — J.W.

  • "I’ve been thinking lots about the sessions we had and how helpful they were to me. The way I’ve moved from chest pain and being on high alert to generally being able to regulate my nervous system has been really noticeable when I reflect over the last couple of months. So I wanted to say a very big thank you!"

    —G. C.

  • "Stefania is truly one of a kind! She is an incredibly wise soul with a huge amount of knowledge and expertise. She is a true empath with a unique gift of being able to really listen and track to the root of core issues. Her gentle, compassionate approach was exactly what I needed to give me the strength to shift some long standing patterns. I have felt completely heard, held and supported during my healing journey. Each session has been deeply profound and I always came away feeling empowered.”

    — E. E.

  • "My inner dialogue has changed. It feels like I am getting my voice back - the voice I was using to talk to myself for many years had a tone to it, a colour that was not the loving me. It was a part of me that was conditioned by the way others spoke to me. It was my voice, but it was a part of me that was hurt by others, and I copied that. My true voice has more volume and is loving."

    — G. E.

  • "I'm deeply empowered with the work you and I are doing. The work with you complete changes my attitude towards my whole life. I can sleep well at night. I know I'm good enough. I'm getting somewhere, I'm no longer stagnant."

    — G. E.
