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 your direct experience.
Not another new solution. Simply a homecoming.
When life looks full, but something feels off
Many of us move through life doing what’s expected of us. We’re productive, capable, engaged, yet find ourselves 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. Nothing is fundamentally “wrong,” yet we sense something important requires some deeper attention.
A different starting point
Rather than pushing toward immediate insight or forcing change, this work begins with noticing what’s already here. By building inner relationship, clarity, creativity, and next steps emerge naturally.
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 dull, 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 arrive. What they all tend to share is an exhaustion with self-improvement and 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 life experiences 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.
