Who am I?

I'm Stéphanie Ruder Schoof — a Self-Leadership coach, facilitator and consultant, Somatic Experiencing® practitioner, Focusing trainer, and even an author.

I help my clients explore “The Art and Challenge of Personal Sustainability” — or in other words, “how to dance in the rain instead of waiting for the storm to pass” (Vivian Greene).

Through my integrative approaches, clients gain the tools to:

  • build a more effective relationship with themselves — mentally, emotionally, and physically,

  • become more authentic and aligned with who they truly are, beyond limiting beliefs and past experiences.

I offer individual and group coaching, workshop and seminar facilitation (both in-person and online), for companies and individuals, as well as Somatic Experiencing® sessions.

I work in both French and English.

It’s not just about performance — it’s about sustainability.

Our world is becoming increasingly complex and changing at a rapid pace. We are under growing pressure to be perfect in every role we play.

Often, the most relentless demands come not from outside, but from within: our limiting beliefs, ingrained patterns, and outdated mental models. While we can’t always change our circumstances, we can choose how we meet them.
We can learn to dance in the rain, to resource ourselves and those around us — rather than waiting for the storm to pass.

You may be a active, committed woman or man who feels stuck — ready to move beyond a limiting mindset or way of being that no longer serves you.
You want to grow into a more grounded, authentic version of yourself — aligned, effective, and fulfilled — even in the face of complexity.

You also know that doing your inner work will amplify your impact — in your relationships, in your leadership, and in your ability to achieve what truly matters.

You want to feel supported, emotionally safe, and intellectually engaged.
You’re hungry for insight and transformation. And more than anything, you’re ready to be guided back to the part of you that already knows the way — your Deepest Self.

My core purpose:

To help you develop a more empowering relationship with yourself — mentally, emotionally, and physically — so you can learn to “dance in the rain”, whatever life brings.

I believe...

…that we all have the potential to grow and reconnect with our inner freedom.
…that every person holds an innate greatness — and my role is to help you access it and learn to trust it.

“Give people a sense of the greatness within them” - André Malraux
