Functional Health, Wellness, Lifestyle Coaching & Stress Reduction

Stephanie Pagnol-Palpacuer ~ "What is Chronic Stress?"
At Stephanie Holistic Coaching, I support women, children, and families through one-on-one and group services focused on chronic stress reduction. Using a simple, three-step coaching model, we’ll work together to move from feeling overwhelmed and depleted toward greater balance, renewed energy, and overall well-being.
My approach provides practical tools and personalized support to help you build sustainable habits throughout your health and wellness journey.

In Step# 2, you’ll apply what you learned in the introductory workshop through one of two complementary pathways:

As an FDN practitioner, I am accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP) and recognized by the American Association of Wellness Coaches (AAWC) and the Holistic Council through FDN. These affiliations support my commitment to professional standards in holistic health and wellness coaching.
By connecting the body, mind, emotions, and lifestyle, the “What Is Chronic Stress?” Workshop explores how various forms of chronic stress may influence overall health and well-being.
Building on the concepts introduced on the “What Is Chronic Stress?” page, the workshop will cover:
The workshop is designed to provide an educational foundation for understanding chronic stress and to introduce practical wellness strategies that can be incorporated into daily life.
Step# 1: Contact Stephanie to reserve your launching spot today and learn about the ongoing workshop dates. Space is limited. If the workshop reaches capacity, you will be added to the waiting list for the next available session.
After participating in the “What Is Chronic Stress?” Workshop, continue your wellness journey with Mind-Body-Motion Wellness™ - a weekly follow-up wellness and fitness class series designed to help integrate the natural wellness strategies introduced during the “What Is Chronic Stress?” Workshop into your daily life and help shake off the stress of your day, stay supported, and accountable within a community.
Mind-Body-Motion Wellness™ Class Series
Mind-Body-Motion Wellness™ is far more than a typical fitness class. It’s your personalized opportunity to reconnect with your body, deeply understand your wellness needs, eliminate everyday stress, and build lasting habits you can carry into daily life.
It is a progressive, four-level program consisting of four sequential levels delivered over 24 weeks. Each six-week level builds on the previous one and focuses on movement, stress reduction, lifestyle practices to help participants develop practical, sustainable wellness habits, and shake off the stress of the day - without requiring functional lab testing.
(After completing Level 1, participants may choose to pursue functional lab testing if they would like a more in-depth assessment to further personalize their wellness journey.)
Each class includes progressive units focused on:

The Functional Lab Assessment Pathway provides an individualized assessment and wellness recommendations to explore each client’s wellness goals and concerns in greater depth. It includes foundational laboratory chronic stress-related packages, assessments, clinical correlation, and personalized wellness recommendations.

This pathway does not include ongoing coaching or weekly follow-up sessions. Clients who want continued support after completing the lab testing - and who are not already enrolled in the Mind-Body-Motion Wellness Class Series - may add Mind-Body-Motion Wellness sessions separately starting with Level# 1 as an one-on-one class (unless your schedule aligns with a starting date of level#1 group).
Enrollment note: A one-time enrollment and administrative fee applies before beginning the Stephanie Holistic Coaching program.
Visit the Functional Lab Testing page to learn more about the laboratory assessments currently available.
When you enroll with Stephanie Holistic Coaching, you begin a comprehensive, holistic wellness journey built around a 360-degree view of your health and lifestyle.
Comprehensive Intake Forms
As a wellness and health coach practitioner trained as a FDNP to evaluate the body as an interconnected system, I consider detailed intake forms an essential part of the coaching process.
During Step#2 enrollment, you will complete comprehensive forms covering areas such as:
We will review this information together before you begin your first Mind-Body-Motion™ class series or Functional Lab Testing Program. These forms provide the foundation for understanding your individual history, lifestyle, and wellness priorities, allowing me to guide you more personally throughout your classes, sessions, and overall wellness journey.
One Time Non-Refundable Enrollment Admin Fee
A one-time, nonrefundable enrollment and administrative fee is required to access Stephanie Holistic Coaching’s wellness program. This fee covers the administrative process and the initial review of your completed client history and lifestyle forms.
It also includes a 30-minute enrollment call during which we will discuss:
This enrollment process ensures that your goals, concerns, and priorities are clearly understood before you begin your selected services.
Once enrolled in Step# 2... Stephanie Holistic Coaching offers additional services to the core wellness program to support women, children, and families on their personal growth and wellness journeys.
These services bring together holistic health, wellness education, life coaching, and chronic-stress-reduction strategies. They may be offered in one-on-one or group settings and can complement the Mind-Body-Motion follow-up wellness and fitness classes and Functional Lab Testing Services.

Families ~ Chronic Stress Reduction & Lifestyle Coaching

I’m absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Stephanie. She has always been a go-to resource for me, whether it’s advice on health concerns, gardening tips, or how to create the perfect garden bed. Her knowledge of plants, herbs, vitamins, and overall wellness is truly impressive.
Beyond her expertise, Stephanie is incredibly generous with her time and always willing to help. I trust her guidance completely, and our conversations are always thoughtful, insightful, and encouraging.
I’m truly grateful for her support and for having someone so knowledgeable and kind to turn to.

"Thanks to her I learned the importance of self care, what it means to take care of myself to take better care and be available for my family and those around me, and live from a place of joy and gratitude. I also have a chronic condition and she triggered the health changes I undertook to feel better and improve my general well-being. Without her and her holistic approach I would have never have this perspective on my health, my wellbeing and what I needed to do to live a happier life." [...]

When one function in the body is not working properly, we experience over time a cascade of events called the Metabolic chaos®.
It is a state of health that could be inborn, responsible for symptoms that could be described as other causes, and/or coming from hidden stressors from underestimated influences from the environment we live in today.
H.I.D.D.E.N stressors are chronic stress-related dysfunctions as the result of imbalances in the body impacting:
• The Hormones
• The Immune system
• The Detoxification pathway
• The Digestion
• The Energy Production
• & the Nervous System
The D.R.E.S.S program is a drugless protocols & behavior change program supporting the whole body healing ability, by introducing new routine and reducing stressors through:
• Diet
• Rest
• Exercise
• Stress Reduction
• Supplements
Functional Labs help to look for possible solutions through investigation and correlations, and to understand better the root causes of the symptoms.
From food Sensitivity to Intestinal and Gut health tests, to name a few, lab testing results are here going to help us to investigate unspecifically and holistically, and to make correlations with your health situation and your main complaints.
It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat that impact our health, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives that nourish ourselves, such as: healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity, a positive life environment, and mental, emotional, & spiritual awareness, to name a few.
So when these primary foods are in balance, what you eat become secondary. Through support from workshops, groups meetings, and events organized within the community, you will be supported to reach your holistic and wellness goals at your own pace.
The secondary food is what you put on your plate. During the process we will emphasize the importance of buying local and organic produce; eating whole grains, high-quality proteins and fats, and proper hydration.
We will discuss the importance of having balanced meals and will also enjoy together whole food recipes, along with cooking tips and activities to help you find what’s healthiest for your unique body.
Crowding Out food refers to the natural process that happens when we add more food that are beneficial to us, instead on focusing on withdrawing junk food or food sensitivity. By doing so, you will lean more progressively toward healthier food, while reducing the overall inflammation in the system.

Cravings play a critical role in understanding what your body needs and shouldn’t be ignored.
When you learn how to deconstruct your cravings and understand what they’re really telling you, you will be able to reclaim a sense of balance and harmony.
"Metabolic Typing® (MT) is a revolutionary system that addresses each person at a fundamental metabolic level, allowing for increased energy, weight loss and greater resistance to disease."
"It’s a method that determines nutritional needs which stems from the theory that the ability of the metabolism to optimally digest certain foods varies between individuals."
“One man’s food is another man’s poison.”
Whole foods are unprocessed or minimally processed foods, free of additives, preservatives, dye, artificial coloring and flavoring, or chemicals (when bought Organic), and food made in a laboratory.
Eating whole food consist of integrating a variety of food that are more connected to the soil and non modified from their actual natural state.
While working through the program, you will be introduce to workshops, cooking classes, and whole food recipes that will help reduce some inflammation in the body.
Reiki is a Japanese technique, a hand-on energy healing and complementary practice helping in stress reduction and relaxation.
Through this process of change (of "enlightenment" as I like to call it) we will merge into the world of introspection by understanding the impact of our emotions as energy, frequency and vibration, along with the connection between our mindset, our gut and our soul, and learn about what to improve on the journey.
Composed from a community of holistic friends, and friends' of friends, and local supports... the network regroups a whole combination of choice, tips and help, and room of improvement for optimal Health and Wellness.
