Stephanie grew up in the Midwest. She has two sisters and a brother. As siblings they witnessed several divorces between each of their parents. Consequently, Stephanie desperately wanted to know what a healthy, happy, long lasting marriage looked like. She attended Grace University seeking her Masters Degree in counseling with an emphasis on marriage. Although she learned the techniques within her mind, she didn't quite trust the principles within her heart and thus struggled in relationships. It wasn't until she met her husband did she experience true commitment and finally understood what her professors were teaching. Her desire for change propelled her into her passion today. Stephanie and her husband Chris are certified Life Coaches with Going Next Level People Development and authorities on premarital and marital coaching.
