All About Stephanie

Stephanie Antoine is a Black woman from England who came to the US as a violinist and Fulbright Scholar in the early 90s. She is a mother of two twice-exceptional young people and had to face chronic illness and caregiver burnout. Sprouting from her desire to thrive despite the many discomforts and challenges of life, Stephanie has pursued methods of effective self-care while cultivating an impassioned life of advocacy for herself and others.

Diagnosed with ADHD at age 40, Stephanie began to focus on self-care in the context of ADHD. She learned that the way out of burnout was the opposite of what she expected. Rather than fighting and working harder, making space for rest, ease and gratitude is a far more effective method of reducing stress. Professionally, Stephanie is a Coach specializing in Self Care and ADHD Coaching for People in Caring Roles. She is a qualified practitioner of MBSR who teaches for the Entertainment Community Fund. Stephanie also offers retreats like the one she will be co-teaching at Spirit Rock.
