Dr. Stefanie Kleine was born and raised in Orange County, California. Graduating high school at sixteen, she went on to earn her Master's and Doctorate in Psychology.
From a young age, she knew she was driven by two impulses: to create and to inspire. Her creativity led her to film and television acting, a SAG-AFTRA career, and the publication of her first book of poetry at twenty-six. Driven by a deep desire to help others, Stefanie built a coaching practice that has now spanned more than two decades. As a psychospiritual coach and Doctor of Psychology, she has guided over 1,800 psychedelic ceremonies and integrations, and she co-founded The Sacred House of Eden, one of the top-rated psychedelic retreat centers in the United States.
Her work centers on a single shift: the move from human doing to human being. In BE THE WORK, her first book in this body of work, she offers the framework, the story, and the practices for the life that comes after the breakthrough, for the high achievers who did everything right and still feel something is missing.
Stefanie splits her time between Colorado and Southern California with her dog, Dr. Nugget, who has sat beside her through hundreds of ceremonies and integrations.
