Scholar. Practitioner. Systems Thinker. Guide.
DR. STEPHANIE SHELBURNE
I am a woman who has spent her life listening—to the body, to the field, to the quiet intelligence that organizes life beneath the surface of symptoms and stories.
​
My work lives at the intersection of rigorous scholarship, embodied practice, and what I can only call perceptual intimacy with the human system. I am trained in the languages of science and spirit alike, and I move fluidly between them because the body does not recognize our categorical divides.
​
The question that has shaped my entire life is simple, yet multidimensional:
What does it take for a woman to come home to herself—across all layers of being?
This question has guided my work for over two decades, prompted by my own transformative experiences, and thousands of hours of working with others.
THE INQUIRY
The exploration has guided the deeper examination of the dynamic, shifting nature of coherence as it expresses biologically, emotionally, mentally, ancestrally, spiritually, and cosmologically.
Which ultimately contributed to the work that I call sacred metabolism sacred metabolism is not a protocol or a healing technique. It is a multidimensional way of understanding yourself and curating, cultivating optimal vibrational cohesion.
HOW I WORK
I help clients discern the doorway that is most available for coherence— sometimes practical (nutrition, sleep, lifestyle), sometimes emotional or ancestral, sometimes existential or spiritual.
​
Spontaneous transformation is possible when the right doorway is touched. Sustained transformation requires ongoing engagement, allowing the nervous system and lived patterns to rewire through presence and repetition.

WORK WITH ME
A 10-Week Commitment to Your Coherence
I work as a guide, mentor, and systems-sensing practitioner. I do not manipulate energy or "heal" clients. Instead, I perceive the areas of greatest coherence and dissonance and help you understand where your system is ready to shift. Your Sacred Metabolism is your unique pattern, only you hold the bone deep answers to your own coherent signature. I help you learn to listen and respond fluidly.
Why 10-weeks?
Coherence becomes sustainable through repetition, presence, and nervous system integration. Immediate transformation is possible—and supported—but sustained transformation requires continuity.
THE PROCESS
How the Work Unfolds
01
DISCOVERY CALL
We begin with a conversation where both parties sense whether this is an aligned moment for the work. This is mutual—I am discerning fit as much as you are.
02
IDENTIFY THE WORK
Together, we identify the most available doorway into coherence—the place where your system reveals the greatest readiness or pinch point.
03
ENGAGE THE WORK
We engage in a combination of practical and multidimensional work depending on what your system shows. This may include lifestyle shifts, nutritional adjustments, emotional inquiry, meaning-making, or lineage exploration.
04
FOLLOW THE COHERENCE
We follow the homeodynamic nature of coherence: doorways change, layers open, clarity reveals itself. The work is not linear—it is attuned, responsive, and precise.
The Work May Include
Because coherence is homeodynamic, the specifics of approach will emerge from the informational your system reveals. This is not a predetermined protocol.

Dietary adjustments aligned with your ever-changing sacred metabolic needs
