Coming August 2025: VanaGrowth
VanaGrowth is a new platform designed to bridge trauma, spirituality, and the body. Founded by myself, this space offers courses, resources, and practices for individuals and professionals seeking information about trauma, recovery, and growth.
​
Whether you're a coach, therapist, educator, or simply someone navigating the complexity of being human, VanaGrowth invites you to explore how trauma lives in the body—and how awareness, movement, and meaning can shift everything.

About Stephanie
I am Dr. Stephanie Arel. I write, speak, and facilitate for groups and individuals who are aware there is a desire for self-improvement or healing and need a guide to illuminate their pathway. Self-awareness, examination, and reflection are skills that can be learned and are invaluable tools to continuous improvement.
So often when you concentrate on improving one part of your life, another part suffers. Achieving complete balance feels like chasing something just out of your reach. I will teach you an achievable and repeatable process to self-improvement and care.
The best part is, supporting, improving, and caring for self is the only path to stronger and healthier families, relationships, and communities.
​
As you move through my website, I hope to showcase my extensive work with individuals, groups, and organizations that allows me to bring a refreshing and skilled approach to problem-solving, mindfulness, and critical thinking. In a world where technology competes with decision making, past behavior competes with self-improvement and old beliefs compete with living your highest life: I am your guide to a flourishing future.
Provide tools, skills and mindfulness that address challenges of today, coupled with traumas of the past to optimize the future. Best trauma therapist. trauma-informed care. online courses. spirituality holistic healing. embodiment
