Working with Stacia created big movement in my work and my personal life.

My biggest hangup in fully accessing my gifts was with regard to self-doubt. Stacia‘s matter of fact and deeply compassionate approach was highly affirming. The specific skills and tools practiced throughout the training have had profound implications in my practice with therapy clients. Not only am I more highly attuned, but my clients are benefiting as I pass my new knowledge on to them. I’m so grateful to be part of such a wise and supportive healing community.

Let's Talk About Woo

A note from Rev. Stacia, WooVersity's Founder

Welcome!  I am honored to offer the space that we hold here at WooVersity to the world!

So WHY WOO?

I will start by telling you that I am at a place in my life where I am certain in myself, and how working with spirit and energy has dramatically enhanced my life. I also LOVE amusement and thoroughly enjoy referring to my work in the world as WOO – especially when something magical happens.  So, for me, WooVersity is merging what I know to be a valuable way to perceive life, with a bit of fun and amusement!

After my own lifetime of struggles, I found deep healing and authentic transformation by connecting to a form of spiritual practice that spoke to my soul.

During this journey of self-discovery, I have been called “woo” or “woo-woo” many times!

At first, it would make me laugh … and feel a little uncomfortable. People use the term for so many things, especially as a judgement or a joke, and I realized my discomfort mostly came from not really being certain in what it meant for me! Fear, embarrassment, doubt – you name it, would come up when the “woo” word was thrown around.  Essentially, I gave other people the opportunity to define my truth.

As I have continued to traverse through my own personal inner healing and transformation, I have come to clarity on what WOO means for me.

I TRUST IN: MY intuition, MY spirit, MY body, and MY purpose in life.

A big part of this trust came from the mastery of the unseen element of energy – and my spirit is energy – as it manifests into my body, emotions, and thoughts.

Body/spirit connection is the key to life, for me. And the way I embrace all of this with awareness is what I call living an intuitively guided life.

I believe in the full spectrum life has to offer: from energy healing to modern medicine, focus to daydreaming, technology to backpacking, marathons to meditation, anger to joy – all of it is important!

I also know that my physical experiences, beliefs, and energy can change in any and every moment.  Nothing is permanent.  We are unique and ever-changing beings.  Energy is a constant flow; how I respond to the current is what counts.

I am ever inspired by the group of souls who cross my path as they commit to themselves and gather the pieces of their mind-body-spirit puzzle.

And all of us love WOO!

So if you are seeking more knowledge, transformation, personal growth and community – around spirit, energy awareness, emotional intelligence, and more – please explore some of our course offerings or reach out for private session (see bottom of page).

I invite you to explore the world of WOO, and gain certainty in what means for you! Especially if you have been hiding from it because the world told you to!

Please read on to learn a bit more about how I arrived at this poignant time, where I deeply honor my mind/body/spirit connection – finding amusement in all the joys and challenges of being alive!

Much love,
