FOR WOMEN IN MIDLIFE
Feel like yourself again, without overhauling your life.
I'm Stephanie, a certified holistic nutritionist and clinical hypnotist with Harvard Medical School education in women's health. There's a flood of midlife advice out there, and I help you sort out what the evidence supports and what's worth your time.
WHAT SV LIVING IS
The place to come when you'd like feeling good to take less effort.
Recipes you'll make on a Tuesday night and guides short enough to stick on the fridge, all built on the six pillars of lifestyle medicine. I care about how you feel, and about ageing in a way that lets you keep doing what you love.

MEET STEPHANIE
Holistic nutritionist, clinical hypnotist, cookbook author, and not remotely perfect.
I signed up for nutrition school in my mid-30s thinking I'd become a dietitian. Holistic nutrition turned out to be a happy accident, and I've been addicted to school ever since, including three Harvard Medical School executive education programs in women's health, lifestyle medicine coaching and nutrition.
