Born in San Antonio and raised in small-town Fredericksburg, Texas, she has never met a stranger. Her first job was picking peaches, and her first date was coon hunting. She still loves the great outdoors and the simple things in life. She is living her dreams full tilt boogie every day, working on songs, albums, books, tours, ceremonies, time with her family, or journeys around the world. She is enjoying her life now more than ever.

​

Stephanie lives on the river outside Nashville, TN, with her beloved daughter Zeta, husband Jeremy, their little white buffalo medicine dog Lulu, puppy Gypsy, and moody cat Bolt. She loves getting snowed in and any chance to be with her family.

​

She wrote her first song when her high school boyfriend broke up with her, and she never looked back. She loves her dad, Uncle Rudy, mariachi, and her Mexican roots. She spends a few months a year south of the border leading journeys, making music, playing, trying on dresses, or just hanging with her family of friends.

​

She loves besame red lipstick (just like her Abuelita,) listening to music, eating nachos, daydreaming, meditating, going days without makeup, sipping coffee on the river in her pajamas, and leading sacred journeys. She believes in supporting the artists she loves and is always paying off a new piece of art from her favorite painter, Emily Grieves, sculptor Alberto Hernandez, or a designer piece of clothing.

​

She loves sweat lodges, healing massages, traveling, and fabulous hotels. She doesn’t cook and is so grateful for Uber Eats worldwide. She has a passion for helping people and their dreams grow. She is not afraid of her, or your, darkness. She was born to hold sacred witness for others as they bloom through their pain and find their purpose.

​

One of the greatest gifts in the last ten years was becoming a Toltec teacher and co-founding Freedom Folk and Soul. She cherishes her deep connection with her tribe of transformation.

​

Stephanie made history on the Grand Ole Opry, had a song she wrote win The Voice, is a best-selling author, travels and tours all over the world with her Honky Tonk Mariachis, and is just getting started. She is a junkie for healers and works with two mediums and several renowned shamans, and she continues to learn and carry indigenous healing ways herself.

​

She is finally coming out of the shaman closet with Shaman Heart. She is a reiki master and loves to see how the spirit moves through different healing modalities. Stephanie believes it all comes down to being a messenger of love. She spreads and makes magic everywhere she goes.
