I started teaching fitness in 1998 after having my son with a strength training class and a simple stretch class at my local YMCA. I had been reading and self-teaching Yoga and began to incorporate Yoga moves into my stretch class. I saw incredible transformations with my students right away! My place of employment, like many people, had the misconception that Yoga was a religion. Learning the knowledge behind Yoga taught me that it is about the relationship you have with your self which will affect your relationships with everything around you – whether you choose a higher power or not. I watched your everyday person experience physical, internal, even spiritual changes improving the actual being inside and out. This had an incredible influence on me immediately. I had found something so universal, for everyone and anyone, I wanted to take it further and see where I could go with this amazing ancient technique.

I was not able to teach Yoga where I had been a fitness instructor and I felt that I had something that I had to tell and show the world. This prompted me to open up my own Yoga studio now known as Sunshine Yoga Wellness Spa. I can’t explain the results that I get to personally see on a daily basis. This practice is for all. It will allow you to come into your wholeness which will in return allow you to have better relationships with the world and beings around you!

Bio here.

Working for 17 years as a special education teacher and then as a service provider for DCS, I have spent a lot of time helping people who were hurting. But, after 20+ years on medication for anxiety and depression, I wanted to do something different. I tried everything people tell you to try, diet, exercise, meditation, and nothing seemed to make a significant enough different that I could stop taking medications. Then I found Access Bars. It has led me on an amazing journey that allows me to walk through life unmedicated and JOYOUS! It is such an amazing process I had to learn it so I could help others.

Not only has my anxiety and depression disappeared, but I also lower my blood pressure and lost over 55 pounds! The effects of Access Bars are different on everyone but no one leaves without feeling lighter/ more relaxed. Want the ultimate relaxation and some regenerative time? Try and Bars/Facelift session! You won’t just feel like a new person, you will BE a new person!

My name is Steph, and I have lived in the Lafayette area since 2005. I’m originally from Hattiesburg, MS where I attended college and received a degree in Vocal Performance. I have been singing professionally for the last 17 years. In addition to my love for music, I have also enjoyed photography very much. I am a mom to 3 amazing kiddos who all share my love for the arts in some way.

I have been on a wild health journey for the past 4 years, and recently decided to take my passion for this industry to the next level by becoming a certified health coach, personal trainer, and nutrition coach. I’ve seen and felt the benefits of holistic weight loss, mindset training, and proper nutrition work in my own life, so this felt like such a natural step. Helping others has been so incredibly rewarding for me and I’m excited to be able to extend a hand to this amazing community!
