My Story
If you are hungry for freedom, if you are ready to be guided and held with love and support, if you are truly ready to leave your comfort zone, then you are exactly where you are meant to be.
Welcome! I’m Stacey Friedman: a thriving highly sensitive empath, #1 international best-selling author, educator, spiritual teacher, trauma-informed empowerment & integrative nutrition health coach, and certified practitioner of Holographic Memory Resolution® with a certificate in Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies. I’m the wife of a loving 80%er husband, mother of two 20%er kids, and an Enneagram #2. I like to think of myself professionally as a spiritual mentor, powerful coach (with a feminist edge), and loving midwife of the soul. Personally, I think of myself as a royal queen + wild woman all in one. Most importantly, I’m a passionate advocate for highly sensitive female empaths who desire to live healthier, happier, freer lives!
Just a few years ago, I felt stuck. Foggy. Uncomfortable in my clothes. Tired. Emotionally drained. I often felt a quiet, inner nagging that I wasn’t living the best version of my life, but I had no idea what to do, where to begin, or how to change.
I took my first step by studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. After learning about how toxic our food environment is, I committed to changing the way I ate. During this surprisingly enjoyable process of discovering what I now call “clean-for-me food,” I healed my physical body and learned firsthand that food is medicine. What a profound difference the right foods made for me! I felt lighter, had so much more energy, and was able to think more clearly. I felt connected to my body after many years of disconnection and was so inspired to continue to heal!
After losing 20 pounds of excess physical weight, I was able to distinguish a different type of heaviness that still remained. It turned out to be unresolved emotional pain from my past. Anger. Grief. Shame. As an empath and a highly sensitive person, I carried a lot of emotional weight. When I was serendipitously led to an integrative modality called Holographic Memory Resolution®, I knew I’d found the answer to a prayer. HMR®, developed by Brent Baum, is a powerful, integrative technique that helped me heal tons of emotional baggage that was attached to painful memories. After doing several HMR® sessions, the weight lifted. I felt a profound sense of peace. I was free.
In this space of wholeness, I was next led to the School of Womanly Arts and was gifted the powerful experience of understanding, honoring, and embodying my emotional fullness. Magically, it was all done in the safe embrace of authentic sisterhood. My sisters and I learned how to honor the divine feminine who lives within each woman—and through new self-love practices, I ignited my inner goddess.
My journey of transformation has been elaborate and rich. I have learned and practiced so many modalities of healing that I can’t wait to share with you! I won’t lie, my road to radical self-love has been full of hard work– breaking old patterns, re-training my brain, practicing forgiveness, taking courageous action, and having endless self-compassion. I’m here to tell you that this work pays off! How lucky I didn’t have to do it on my own. It took a village.
Now I get to pay it forward and be a guide for you on your journey.
