The story behind STÉRA
I’m Stephanie Rahme, an internationally certified yoga instructor, meditation practitioner, and a passionate student of trauma, the nervous system, and human healing.
But before any of these titles, I was a woman trying to find her way back to herself.
For most of my life, I struggled with anxiety, unresolved trauma, and questions I didn’t know how to answer. I spent so much time searching for peace, without realising how disconnected I had become from myself.
I couldn’t even look in the mirror and ask the little girl inside me, “What happened to you? What do you need from me?”
Four years ago, I began my healing journey. For the first time, I chose to stop running from my pain and start finding my way back to myself.
Through therapy, yoga, meditation, self-awareness, and a journey that took me to India, I began rebuilding my relationship with myself.
But one practice changed everything for me.
Repetition.
Repeating affirmations. Repeating promises. Repeating the thoughts I wanted to believe, even on the days I struggled to believe them.
I used to make promises to myself and break them. Today, when I make a promise to myself, I show up for it.
I learned to listen to myself. To question my thoughts. To face the parts of me I once avoided. And most importantly, to become the woman my younger self needed.
That’s how STÉRA was born.
Not from a business idea, but from a transformation I lived.
Every affirmation, every meditation, every intentional moment behind STÉRA comes from something I have practised in my own life.
I created STÉRA because I wanted to share with you what helped me change mine.
Not to promise you a perfect life, but to remind you that you can begin again. That your words matter. That the promises you make to yourself matter. And that the person you’ve been waiting for might be the person you’re becoming.
I spent years learning how to come back to myself. Now, I want to help you begin your own journey back to you.
With love,
Stephanie Rahme
