I am Steph! Thank you for being here! I am an occupational therapist, reiki master, specialised kinesiologist, and above all, a human being learning to express my authentic self! I specialise in neurodivergent affirming practice and trauma informed care. I am an AuDHDer (Autistic and ADHD) I also have CPTSD and a dissociative disorder. This podcast was named Alphabet Soup after I looked at my diagnosis rap sheet! I then realised none of this defined me, and I felt called to share with you my personal and professional experience and expertise to help you unmask and discover your true authentic self to live in alignment with who you truly are :)
