about your guides

s.om.a was born the way the best things are: in divine timing, with a spark that turned into something undeniable.

Our name holds the story. s.om.a is the blend of our names, the universal hum of “om,” and soma, a Greek word meaning “of the body.” Because for us, transformation isn’t just a mindset shift. It’s something you feel, move through, and process—somatically, honestly, and in real time.

When we first met, we were told (more than once) that we probably wouldn’t “make sense” as a friendship. Different worlds. Different paths. Different energy. But that outside skepticism became our first shared truth: sometimes it doesn’t need to “make sense” to others to intuitively know it’s a right for you.

Once you step into our world, you’ll see the pattern: we’ve always been drawn to the paths that go against the grain. The conversations that crack you open. The adventures that stretch you. The choices that don’t always look “safe” from the outside but feel unmistakably aligned on the inside. From our work to our travels (yes, even to the literal blue zones of the world), we’re here for the kind of life that’s fully lived not curated, not performative, not for the faint of heart.

We both came from high-achievement worlds. Stephanie built a career in tech while coaching and founding Alche[me], her work centered on nervous system regulation, alignment, and embodied self-expression. Alex led and scaled a multi-studio fitness company as CEO of BASH Boxing, and now channels her energy into breathwork, speaking, and helping people access their power from the inside out. On paper, we were “doing it all.” But in our bodies, something was quietly asking for more—more softness, more truth, more self.

At different moments, we each realized that hustle culture can win you results…and still cost you your identity. We were chasing external goals while our intuition got quieter. Our sensitivity got dulled. The most essential parts of us—the deeply feeling, fiercely loving parts—started to fade.

So we did what we now guide others to do: we turned inward.

Through healing, devotion, and a growing toolkit of modalities—breathwork, applied neurology, somatic practice, energetic healing, intuitive movement—we began to remember who we were beneath the performance. We learned how to let the masculine and feminine move together: structure with softness, discipline with devotion, power with presence. And as we came home to ourselves, our connection became the safest place to tell the truth.

That’s what s.om.a is: a space where you don’t have to explain your longing for more. Where you can be held in your humanity and challenged to step into your highest self. Where your body becomes your compass again. Where healing isn’t abstract, it’s embodied.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve outgrown your old life…
If you’ve been “successful” but still felt disconnected…
If you’re ready to stop intellectualizing your healing and start living it…

You belong here.
