Reconnect with your aliveness.
✨
Life can look full and successful on the outside, while inside something feels muted, restless, or out of sync.
Here, we explore embodied ways to return to what’s already alive—by slowing down, listening, and restoring contact with yourself.
Not another new solution.
Simply a homecoming.
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
— The Summer Day, by Mary Oliver
When life looks full, but something feels off
Many of us move through life doing what’s expected of us—productive, capable, engaged—while slowly losing touch with our own sense of aliveness.
We may find ourselves staying busy, scrolling more than we’d like, drinking a bit more, or avoiding certain conversations—often without quite knowing why. Not because anything is “wrong,” but because something uncomfortable or unresolved hasn’t yet found a safe place to be felt or acknowledged.
A different starting point
Rather than pushing toward insight or change, this work begins with noticing what’s already here.
By slowing down and restoring contact with what’s already alive inside you, clarity and next steps can emerge naturally—without forcing, fixing, or needing to know what should happen next.
We create the right conditions, and life does the rest.
What brings people to this work?
Some people arrive because they feel disconnected from aliveness—often experienced as a loss of energy, joy, pleasure, or play. Life may look full and successful on the outside, yet inside something feels undernourished or blocked.
Others arrive because they’re navigating complexity—transition, uncertainty, or change. They may not be thinking about aliveness at all. They simply know the old ways of being no longer work, and something new is trying to take shape.
There’s no single reason people come. What they tend to share is a readiness to pay closer attention to themselves and see what emerges
About Stephen
Hi, I’m Stephen Tracy. 👋
I’m a curious, big-hearted, dachshund-loving personal coach based in New York City.
My work has been shaped by my own lived experience and by years of walking alongside people as they navigate questions of aliveness, desire, identity, and change.
Over time, I’ve become less interested in fixing or optimizing life and more devoted to creating space for honest self-exploration and meaningful connection with what’s already here. In my work, I offer presence and companionship so clarity, coherence, and new possibilities can emerge from within your own experience.
