Hello, I’m Dr. Stephanie,
An educator by trade, a student of lifelong learning and fascinated with Functional Medicine!
I completed my certification training for Health and Wellness Coaching, through the oldest most respected program in the industry, from Wellcoaches Core Coach Training & Certification Programs. It was important to me to go to a top school, so I was able to bring my client’s the best knowledge, information, and resources! The book for this program is now used widely in academic courses in coaching psychology and health and wellness coaching, including a Science of Coaching Psychology Course at Harvard University’s Extension School. My program is accredited by the American College of Sports Medicine and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
I completed my Certified Functional Medicine Coaching Education and testing through The School of Applied Functional Medicine, which has an equally rigorous, and much more intense, certification and educational process, requiring completion through a Medical Review Board, through The School of Applied Functional Medicine. We all only get only get one life, and helping others enjoy said life, to the fullest, through optimal health and wellness, is one of my many passions!
Becoming a client of mine means not only, are you are in the care of someone who loves what they do, but also, has taken the time to educate themselves in this field and pass rigorous testing and continuing education, well over the minimum requirements. I do this, as a commitment to the clients I serve, so that I stay up with the latest information in the health field and I pass that information along to you. So, rest assured, you are in the hands of a trained, credentialed professional that loves what she does and has been a trusted and sought after Professor, and Administrative Educator for the last two decades helping and directing successful individuals to reach their career goals and full potential!
My goal is to educate, support and empower everyone I work with! I will provide all the motivation and information you need to create a wellness plan that works for your lifestyle.
I am committed to helping people realize their own potential and achieve vibrant health! I take an integrative
approach to wellness, with a comprehensive focus on nutrition, emotional balance, natural ways to
relieve stress, and customized programs to support optimal health and well-being.
Health and Happiness, -Dr. Stephanie

Dr. Bryan Treacy
Dr. Bryan Treacy started out as a Medical Doctor of Obstetrics and Gynecology for the last 29 years with thousands of successful surgeries and deliveries in his field and is well known for being the first in Oklahoma to do robotic vaginal surgeries.
He was a previous member of The Age Management Medical Group and eventually found an interest in Physician Management through the American College of Physician Executives. His plan was to transition into a half practice, and half a administrative role, but was so busy in private practice he lost the ability to focus on areas of medicine he really enjoyed, so he transitioned into Health and Wellness Coaching six years ago and back into teaching at the university level.
He currently has an academic appointment at State Fair Community College as an adjunct professor in the Department of Biology as well. He loves to share his knowledge!
It has been rewarding for him to get back into teaching as he was a faculty member in the Department of OB/GYN for 7 years at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He loves teaching his clients on an ongoing basis now as well which was a perfect partnership with Dr. Stephanie being an educator and professor herself.
