Welcome!
I’m Stephanie Lyra Lin - a healer and spiritual coach devoted to helping sensitive souls release the pain of the past, embody their truth, and live with love.
With over a decade of experience supporting clients around the world, I bring a grounded, compassionate presence to every session.
As a first-generation Chinese American, born and raised in NYC, I truly understand the challenges of navigating identity, family expectations, and cultural differences. I've also lived abroad for over 10 years in Hawaii, Israel, China and Taiwan, and these experiences shape my global perspective and openness to alternative ways of thinking and being.
My approach is rooted in deep training and lived practice. I have an MA in Buddhist Studies from Columbia University, certification in life coaching, Family Constellations, and Reiki healing (Masters level), as well as extensive experience with plants as medicine for healing. I enjoy yoga, dancing and time in Nature!
It’s my honor to hold a sacred space where you can feel, heal, reconnect with joy, and remember your purpose for living. Please read on to learn more.
Journey of Healing
What we often see as a flaw or burden can become a superpower—once we learn to embrace it.
For me, that “flaw” was my sensitivity: the ability to feel subtle energy and emotions, both in myself and in the world around me.
Some say this kind of sensitivity is a survival skill—shaped by growing up in a chaotic or unpredictable household, where tracking a caregiver’s emotional state was necessary for safety.
That may be true. But I also believe that all humans are born naturally sensitive and attuned to themselves and their surroundings.
It’s just that over time, our society’s capitalist and patriarchal culture trains us to suppress our natural gifts—to disconnect from our feminine intuition (which both men and women have access to), numb our emotions, and shut down the parts of ourselves that feel too tender or too much.
But what happens when that sensitivity is no longer suppressed or hidden, but embraced? How would your life expand if that creative, intuitive energy were reclaimed and funneled into purposeful and loving endeavors?
For me, healing from past societal and familial wounds + embracing and cultivating my soul gifts has been life changing. This ongoing process has been been painful and difficult, and also beautiful and worthy.
My life is now filled with love, beauty, connection, creativity, and a sense of flow and well-being. It is not without challenges, but I have developed the inner foundation to face them.
I believe the same is possible for you, and I’m here to walk beside you.
