The significance of Client Testimonials

I understand how valuable it is to read client testimonials when you are deciding who you want to hire as your professional Life Coach, mentor, teacher, etc. Some of my clients write their comments in the Embracing the Muse GuestBook, and others send longer comments to me in an e-mail. I have posted below, client comments from both sources for your easy review.

Client Testimonials

Working with Stephen has helped me in so many ways. He has helped shine the light on the truth of perceived difficulties that I have been through and helped me understand the deeper truth and meanings. This has helped give me hope and strength to get through them. He is an exceptionally gifted and understanding life coach. Our continued work together is helping me finally release blockages and patterns that have been holding me back, and I am finally on my way to being the person I was meant to be. I have never encountered such a truly gifted and genuine healer as Stephen. I am blessed to be working with him.

CL , Seattle, Washington - April 14, 2012

I took advantage of Stephen Bruno’s special offer and I have to admit, I was somewhat skeptical at first, but within a few minutes of speaking with him, I felt comfortable and I knew this guy was for real. His intuitiveness allows him to tune right into your essence and provide you with techniques on how to live your life to the fullest and to be the absolute best you can be. I was amazed that with the combination of psychic ability and life coaching, Stephen was able to explain things to me about my personality that I never realized and help me to learn that I am special, not crazy as I have always felt !!! I look forward to another session with him in the not too distant future !!!

Jane Karuschka, Glen Cove, New York, - March 9, 2012
   
I contacted Stephen in probably the absolute darkest time in my life.I couldn't move forward, I couldn't move back, none of the old ways were working anymore. I knew I was at a jumping off time. Do or die. Literally jump off a bridge, or jump into a new life. Only I couldn't do it alone. Even though for the most part I had blocked myself off from my intuition and all other gifts, something in me led me to Stephen. I guess the Universe was looking out for me after all.

From  just the first e-mail I felt hope. That was how I knew Stephen was genuine, the real deal. He could intuitively sense that this was someone in desperate need of help and not to mention, hope. Having been totally cut off from my true self( to the point of thinking I was possessed)in just a couple of sessions I am already starting to come back to life. Its as if my essence is returning.

Stephen is showing me that its O.K. to be my true self. To accept my gifts and talents. He has this magical way of combining intuitiveness with tangible Life Coaching. Really getting to the root cause of the problems both on a soul level as well as a subconscious/psychological level.

Ive tried so many different things to get past this block that I have been carrying with me for most of my life. This sophisticated, evil mechanism I created as a child to protect myself, but in the end has almost destroyed me. Stephen is finally helping me get rid of it once and for all. No band-aids. Done. I feel a sense of limitless possibility and creativity returning, knowing that this will help catapult me into my life's purpose where I can finally do what I was meant to do on this earth. Help, heal, and inspire others, which is exactly what Stephen is doing for me.
 
Cindy Litton, Seattle Washington - December 1, 2011

Stephen has helped me sort through my future pathways in life during a confusing period of multiple traumas. His vast life and business experiences combined with a keen and precise listening ability helped me cut through the chaff to find the kernels of truth along my pathway to the future. Thank you my threshing friend.

David Sherwood Cross, Prescott, Arizona - November 14, 2011

My journey through the life coaching sessions with Stephen has had a profound impact on my life and continues to even when we are not working together! More specifically he has helped me identify the things that I want most in my life. By doing this I was able to realize the differences and or contradictions between the things that I wanted and the way that I was living. What a powerful feeling it is to come to these realizations and initiate change! Over all I find his work to be very effective and am grateful to have him in my life.

Joshua Cotsenmoyer, Huntington Beach, California - October 10, 2011


Love the photos.

Angel Katchka, Mukilteo, Washington - August 13, 2011

I recently had a Past Lives Reading with Stephen Bruno. He immediately put me at ease with his kindness and compassion. The reading answered many questions I had concerning family relationships. Stephen was able to see the dynamics of my relationships in past lives. His reading gave me the answers and clarity I was looking for. It was very exciting to get insights into some big issues in my life today. I loved my reading!

Raw Chef Christina Basor, Lake port, California - August 11, 2011 

I want to express the value of Past Lives Readings to share with you~ I didn't expect that my energy responds SOO quickly and receives SOOO beautiful and glowing joy and happiness ~  How did he do that ?  His wisdom of deeply understanding gave me wonderful feedback which I learned a lot from Stephen~

The reading report was simply unbelievable AMAZING and MYSTERY ~   Because I always felt and suspect few things so heavy and painful about what happened to me and who I was from past lives~ I soo longing to find out the truth to help me to understand in order to release and heal for a very long time came out very true.  That same spirit and energy are still here TODAY, I couldn't believe it !!!!    It MAKES WHOLE SENSE !!!! Finally, finally they release me freely. It increases abundant joy, happiness and purity soul ~

What a freedom !!! I went many readings in the previous. They weren't very helpful for me. I ended up feeling disappointed and hopeless, so I stopped going not to waste any more money. Years later I learned about Stephen's work through his beautiful Shana who posted on her facebook. It caught my eyes. Simply syncronicity ~

I was SOOO THRILLED and full of AWE that the results were SOOO AMAZING ~ I enjoyed his work greatly~ I definetely will go back to Stephen again and again not only Past Lives readings, other of his gifts :-) I STRONGLY encourage everyone to try STEPHEN BRUNO!! You gonnna LOVE your new experience through his amazing work !!!
 
Roberta, Ithaca, New York - July 25, 2011


I have had amazing sessions with Stephen in Psychic Animal totems, Animal Communication, and a Past Lives Reading in the past year. His vision has taken me on an amazing journey, and offered invaluable insight.

Carol, Buffalo Grove, Illinois - June 5, 2011

What a wonderful man! I knew nothing of a Life Coach tell my friend Jana told me about him. So, I thought why not what do I have to lose. Best GAIN of my life. What a gift he has and such a giving soul. Its almost hard to put it into words. Just read about him and then if your still not sure try an hour with him and you won't be sorry. I have learned so much about my self through him and he has a way of making you talk even when you don't want to. And its so gentle and comforting and hard and easy and even fun and okay to cry and laugh and joke. I will forever be grateful that I have met him and have a wonderful new friend and so very blessed to have him in my life. I look forward to more sessions with Stephen. Thank You Stephen from the bottom of my heart. Love and Hugs Cindy.

Cindy Laipple, Dewey, Arizona - June 1, 2011

I want to recommend most sincerely Stephen and the work he does. Stephen worked with me for a year, coaching me on moving through and forward a very dark shadow/wilderness period in my life to help me to birth my new life. Stephens consistent steady focus, compassion and gentle touch kept me on track. He not only helped me with useful tools and direction, but he asked very pointed questions to make me really think about where and what I wanted to accomplish. If you have any doubts about contacting Stephen, I'm here to say wash them away, you'll be glad you did! Much gratitude and love, Dawn.

Dawn Vierra, Salt Lake City, Utah - May 31, 2011

I am so grateful for the sessions I have had with Stephen. He is an amazingly kind, wise and compassionate man. Stephen is truly talented at understanding the beautiful and unique essence of those he connects with, facilitating tremendous growth, insight and action in the lives of his clients. I write client, but Stephen has truly become a dear friend, and it is my hearts knowing that most who work with him will share a special bond and love for this wise wizard who gives so much :o).

Cassandra, Sonoma, California - May 30, 2011

I’m extremely grateful for the coaching support Stephen Bruno has offered me over the past few months. His patience, wisdom and insight have empowered me to look at my life in unique ways, and encouraged me to move forward in areas that scared the heck out of me! Working with Stephen is a positive and illuminating experience. Thank you!

Traci Moore, Tucson, Arizona - May 27, 2011

Dear Stephen, it has been almost a year since I had four sessions with you! I am still impressed with how life changing those four sessions have proved to be. I am still on track and enjoying daily life, immensely! I found coaching with you to be more simplistic and productive than years of counseling. Thank you again. May many blessings be returned!

Abby, Everton, Washington - May 21, 2011

I called Stephen during a hard moment in my life where I've been struggling. Through his introspection and guidance he brought me to a place where I could see myself in a nonjudgmental and nurturing way. Immediately afterward I felt empowered as he was able to push away the road blocks I have setup for myself. With his valuable insights I was able to gain strength in my own way and connect with my true potential.

Tanith, West Linn, Oregon - May 18, 2011

Stephen, Thank you for your spiritual energy. I experienced an easy painless uneventful surgery. I did feel a meditative calm with no discomfort even afterward I was thinking clear and in no way impaired. Your healing effort bolstered my inner healing I benefited from your spiritual gifts. You are blessed.

Don Lee, Santa Rosa, California - May 17, 2011

I have had the real privilege and joy of spending time in sessions with Stephen, and he has a real innate warmth. The things he said to me resonated strongly and I feel I definitely gained insight and vision via the sessions I had with Stephen.

Maria Risener, Lynden, Washington - May 17, 2011

I sought Stephen's guidance at a dark point in my life, and not only did it turn my darkness into light in the first session but, has continued to influence my spiritual awakening over the course of several months. I am so grateful for his guidance and have felt more 'at home' with my being than I have in a long time. Stephen is genuine and compassionate, and whether someone is searching for guidance or connection, his abilities to create the space for that to happen are amazing. I look forward to his light for many years to come! Thank you!

Lindsey, Sonoma, California - May 16, 2011

If you are a layman and little nervous about starting to explore your spiritual passage, Stephen would be the very person to approach. Perhaps it is because his universal wisdom, compassion for the being, earthly experiences and worldly knowledge, he almost seems NATURALLY warm with anyone who he is talking to. No, it is more like, being with, connecting to. ... You'd feel secure and open, feel well understood and cared. Most of all, it is a relief to know someone who can see what you see and feel. Sometimes, the word is tricky, we may speak the same word but it may bear totally different impression. ...with Stephen, I have no fear on this issue. Especially, English is not my native tongue and my personal issues involves with other culture than the western one.

Although I was already a Reiki Master when I approached Stephen and Shana for the Reiki Classes, I was not certain where I was and what I was. Together with Shana, his Reiki Certification Classes were phenomenal! Especially, Master/Teacher class's energetic atmosphere was something.

Motoko Lewis, Blaine, Washington - May 13, 2011

After speaking with Stephen and utilizing his services I can say that he is a truly inspirational and honest soul. His advice and encouragement came to me at the perfect time in my life, and I am very thankful for his generous and kind-hearted attitude. I also really appreciate the fact that Stephen kept checking up on me just to see how I was doing months after our phone psychic reading. I trust his words and cannot say enough good things about him. I highly recommend anyone to use his services and get to know him. Peace.

Layna, Bellingham, Washington - May 13, 2011 

I have known Stephen for almost 10 years, and it has been a gift to learn and share with him. Stephen is an amazing guide and wise teacher. He has advanced abilities to perceive and infer subtle information about a situation. His advice is compassionate, provocative, and intelligent. I have greatly benefited from his clear insights and suggestions for the relationships with my wife and children. His creativity is inspiring. He has been supportive and helpful in determining my own balance with technical and artistic innovation. I'm grateful for our connection.

Bill Hess, Afton, Virginia - May 13, 2011

Stephen, thanks so much for your wonderful coaching help over the past couple of years. Your guidance, feedback and intuition have always been right on, and you've helped me in so many ways. I know that anyone who takes advantage of your incredible skills will be equally gratified. And the new web site looks great!

Dave, Costa Mesa, California - May 12, 2011

Where would one start to write a testimonial, when it is a pure privilege to write about someone who saved your life and then changed your entire future? My name is Jana and I have known Stephen since 1988. I reconnected with Stephen in 2010 when I found him on Facebook, what a blessing!

Not able to get out of bed for many years and a lifetime of being suppressed, ill and insecure, I am excited to share with the world that I have a new life and a bright future without illness.

If anyone has exhausted their means with traditional healthcare and is willing to step out of the box and discover who they really are, I would highly recommend Stephen as your guide. Every aspect of his work is outstanding and trustworthy. He is the most compassionate being that I have ever encountered in my lifetime.  If anyone can bring true healing into someone's life, it is Stephen. His 42+ years of experience is a plus to all of us that have been fortunate to find him.

Words could never explain what happened in my life with Stephen's thorough work ethics, and his level of expertise, so I will end this by saying, thank you Stephen for making this possible, you are a true blessing! 

Jana Valenzano, Prescott, Arizona - May 12, 2011

I just wanted to let everyone know that if you're thinking about contacting Stephen for some life coaching or even a psychic reading, think no more!

I would seriously recommend that you take action and call today! I can honestly say that after just one coaching session, Stephen was able to unlock some of the barriers that were holding me back from reaching my full potential, I even improved my relationship with my wife...GREATLY! I can't sing Stephen's praises enough, he was a God-send for me and my family, and I'm sure he could be the same for all of you. Blessings.

Chris, Phoenix, Arizona - May 12, 2011

Stephen offers spiritual help in many areas. What he doesn't say is that he invests himself so completely that he becomes a true friend as well. I started with the Animal Communication. I have a dog that was very ill with perplexing problems that  traditional vets couldn't diagnose. A dear friend recommended Stephen to help me. As Stephen provided me insights from my dog, he helped me realize the correlations between what was happening with my pet and what I was dealing with in my own spiritual growth. We then added in Life Coaching for myself and I have to say, with Stephen's guidance, I had revelation moments that have changed my life. His empathic/psychic abilities allowed him to say just the right thing to open up my eyes and heart to what was going on. Then, for my birthday, I decided to gift myself with an animal totem reading. What a delight that was! Stephen took the time to really focus in with me, and every animal that I have is one that I truly do feel a connection with. He gives a detailed explanation as to why the particular animal and what it brings to my life. It is truly a marvel that I go back to and glean more from every time. I can tell you that I am in a much better place now, and my dog is doing quite well.

Mirena, Portland, Oregon - May 12, 2011

AMAZING. Not like any reading I've ever had. He is incredibly intelligent, kind and right on the money! OMG, still processing what he showed me. He opens insight so that you can see your process and also how to change that process to improve your experience. That is real talk. I felt parts of me open up and things that were haunting me finally cleared and explained, but explained in a way that give me real material to work with moving forward. Just amazing, I can't say enough good things about it!!!

Mary, Renton, Washington - May 12, 2011

I first met Stephen in 1996 and he quickly became a a dear friend. Over the years he has also been a Reiki teacher and exceptional counselor to me and my brother. He helped me to heal on many levels and to develop a deep compassion and reverence for all life. One of the best gifts he gave me was the ability to see magical miracles and always expect them as an essential & beautiful element in my life. He is an extraordinary, very special, and gifted being who will bless you beyond your imagination with his divine presence. He forever holds a special place in my heart for his deep friendship and for assisting me to develop into who I am today.

Celestine Alleyn,Woodland, Washington - May 1, 2011

I attended Reiki 1 and felt some energy and peace. I am still trying to get my head around the loss of my husband. It will be worthwhile for me to continue to discover the benefits of Reiki; however, I must be patient in recognizing those benefits. Thank you, Stephen and Shana.

Rosalee Lewis, Blaine, Washington - February 6, 2011

Such wonderful people and so much knowledge and insight to share! Having now finished Reiki I II & III with Stephen and Shana, I can officially say my head has been spinning (in a terrific way!). I have never experienced learning that holds so many possibilities before. I look forward to learning more about teaching and intuition. Anyone interested in broadening their horizons with unconditionally compassionate instructors should definitely contact Stephen.

Kimm, Tulsa, Oklahoma - February 6, 2011

I attended Stephen and Shana's Reiki Level III Master Teacher Certification Class this past weekend. I was so thankful for the abundance of information and experience they both shared. I have been a Reiki Master for 10 years and have been teaching Reiki for the past 5 years. I was so pleased to gain insight and information that is rare and hard to come by. I love sharing new and exciting information with folks who take my classes and other Reiki Practitioners. Stephen and Shana created a safe, compassionate, non judgmental, fun and enlightening experience for each and every student who attended the class. I highly recommend Stephen and Shana's Reiki Certification Classes. The quality and quantity of what they share and the experience they offer will help anyone who is interested in pursuing Reiki for personal and/or professional use. Blessings and Namaste.

Giacinta Vosika, Seattle, Washington - February 3, 2011

I understand that there is no such thing as coincident and I am glad that I contacted Stephen and now have taken Reiki 1, 2 & 3 from Shana and Stephen. I felt total comfort at the Reiki 1 class, as if I have been there before... I was ecstatic at the Reiki 2 class, for knowing/feeling a powerful connection has been passed on by my master, Shana. And at the Reiki Master/Teacher class, I was bundled with warm, fuzzy Reiki energy blanket throughout...the image of a fetus came to my mind just now. . I was secure and being well prepared by both Stephen and Shana's teachings, energies and connections :) Thank you Shana & Stephen(Mr. Mitts and Karma, too!) and see you sooooon!!

Motoko Blaine, Washington - January 31, 2011

I had two phone consultations with Stephen, the first concerning my overcoming Lyme disease, and the second in regard to dealing with and eliminating stress in general. Stephen was wonderfully patient, understanding, thoughtful, and generous. He offered many useful techniques, suggestions, and insights based on his many years of accumulated knowledge and experience. I would urge anyone even remotely curious about his services to contact him.

Anthony, Rochester, New York - January 8, 2011

I have had a psychic animal totem reading, animal communication, and a past life reading with Stephen. And he introduced me to Reiki. It has been an amazing journey of discovery about myself that I never would have believed. I have learned so much, and a whole new path has opened up for me. Just wish I lived closer to WA, but by phone works equally well. Stephen is truly a wise man with incredible gifts.

Carol, Buffalo, Illinois- December 21, 2010


I had my first spirit guide reading with Stephen last December over the phone. Initially when I found out it was going to be by phone, I was a little uneasy, but then I realized that the freedom of communicating without any "external distractions" might be very productive when it comes to allowing Spirit to emerge. I am glad I did the phone session - it was very freeing to just have the "messages" flow out and concentrate completely on that, not each other in our earthly, incarnate forms. Stephen was very gentle, honest, clarifying, sensitive and in no way "rushed" our session, even staying on the phone after the official hour was over to wind up some loose ends together. I would recommend this experience to anyone who believes in, and wishes to communicate more fully, with their spirit guides. The session with Stephen is, I believe, just the springboard for the real communication to continue between me and my spirit guides if I choose to call on them and make time for them in my life. It is up to me.

Lindsay C. Reid, Bellingham, Washington - December 11, 2010

  About Life Coaching I have been using Stephen's Life Coaching on and off since we met in 1996. At that time my coaching goals were mostly about my career as a healer. He provided mentoring that I later turned into several courses that I teach, about the healing relationship and professional ethics. As we began meeting my goals, I was offered the opportunity to complete our coaching. Wow! I had never really completed anything before! But Stephen has so much more to offer that I developed new goals. what I've received: help with: relationships, teaching, publishing, parenting, writing, photography, the healing within the creative process, within Nature, spirituality, understanding Plato, Jesus, cosmology, dark matter, how the universe responds as a living organism, my own injuries, depression, finances, running... Every aspect of my life! Today I have a marriage that is better than I could even imagine in 1996. I have the career, lifestyle and health that I couldn't imagine before. But what's more important to me now, is that I feel I am of more service to others, as a husband, parent, teacher, therapist, friend, to animals and nature and the Universe. Since working with Stephen, I think the ultimate fulfillment in life is not having health, happiness, etc. but being of service. Ironically, being of service often leads to experiencing wonderful gifts.

Patrick, Tucson, Arizona - December 2, 2010 

Stephen's insight and advice couldn't have come at a better time. He gave me some clarity on issues that were troubling me, and told me things that I know I needed to hear in order to make the best choices for myself. Thank you Stephen, your help and care was much appreciated!

Liana, Bellevue, Washington October 14, 2010

I have been doing "my work" for decades. However, it is now Stephen Bruno time! In the interview session I was able to identify my lack of courage for life. Stephen asked some really pertinent questions leading me to look at this a bit different, returning to a more authentic me. The technique he has shared with me regarding handling difficult personalities with grace and compassion has been a brilliant addition to my skills and the result has been more peace, respect and team effort in my home. I value this time with Stephen, I am so glad I decided to invest in myself, it truly does ripple out. Looking forward to continued growth and my next session. Thank you for coming at the right time Stephen! Many returned blessings.

Abby, Bellingham, Washington - September 18, 2010

After a traumatic event the worst feeling is disconnection and a sense of being lost in darkness, unable to find the way home. Through my dear friend's suggestion I received an animal totem/ native spirit guide reading from Stephen. During our session I immediately felt the presence of my spirit and animal guides and everything in the message Stephen was delivering reminded me that they have been there with me throughout my life, I am not swimming in the world alone. I am extremely blessed to come across a truly gifted shaman that can be a guide for me between worlds, they are difficult to find. I look forward to doing more work with you Stephen! Thank you very much for your work and helping me find a way back home!! Peace and Light.

Lindsey, Guerneville, California - September 12, 2010

Stephen, just a voice at the other end of the line at the time of my first phone session, has become a valued and trusted friend. He has helped me recognize patterns, often in place since childhood, through which I tend to self sabotage. He has made helpful observations and offered keen insights concerning my romantic relationships, and especially about how I end them. He has delighted me and expanded my awareness by explaining the subtle yet potent differences between: equal and mutual, control and influence, react and respond. Stephen has deepened my understanding of prayer and helped me remember the importance of heart-centered and com- passionate actions and interactions. Conversing with Stephen is unique inasmuch as he listens in a very unusual way: He is so fully present and so skilled at culling valuable tidbits from what is said, often intuiting a deeper, truer meaning. Plus, he asks the most pertinent questions! I just wish I could talk with him more often!

Christine Case, Sonoma, California - August 26, 2009

Having just emerged from my first session with Stephen, I already know that we've hit the bulls eye somewhere deep deep down. Which is a very good thing (because all signs say the time is now). More than scared, I'm excited to take on the necessary work to push through to the essence of me.

Jennifer Leonard - August 25, 2009

I've been working with Stephen for about a month now, and soon it became very clear I was scared to do the work, to recognize my limitations and transcend them and then move forward in life. But I knew it was time for me to really go for it, to live my dreams and to be of service to others, no matter what my fears were. I was not used to work with my issues through analyzing them. I didn't want to face things, I was too lazy (scared...). I have been working on my spiritual growth with teacher Tony Samara for more than 10 years, and that has been of tremendous help in finding my true self, my inner wisdom and the path to universal love. But at 38 my life was in a rut. I knew what I wanted, my aspirations in life were clear, but I just couldn't seem to push through my fears and old patterns so I could succeed in manifesting my dreams fully. That's when Stephen came into my life! Our work together is making me progress so smoothly and swiftly. I'm amazed how easy it all is, after all! I feel more empowered now. I've been having many insights and clarification of doubts just by meditating on the questions he puts me and on his feedback to my answers. Stephen pushes me (gently yet effectively) to go through my issues, analyze them and from there, see more clearly what my goals are, how I'm hindering the realization of those goals and then take action to accomplish them. This is very important for me. Stephen is a kind, compassionate and powerful coach. Thank you, Stephen. I love you!

Ilana. Beinwil, Switzerland - June 3, 2009

Our initial session with Stephen was profoundly impactful on many levels. Things began to shift for me from the moment we were on the phone and I continue to process more from that one session on energetic levels. How do you put words to the wordless? I am very thankful that I connected with Stephen! He assisted me in seeing many areas of my relationship that I could not see before, to allow me to open to a new way of being. Stephen is a magnificent healer in the true sense of the word healing.

Karen - March 18, 2009


Dearest Stephen, You are an incredible man and bright light on this planet, embracing and transmitting a melding of qualities that over the years have inspired the best in me. Thank you for your wisdom, grace, gentle soul and "unconditional compassion." I see and know myself more deeply because of you.

Shelley, Santa Fe, New Mexico - February 20, 2009

I just recently had the pleasure of working with Stephen in a house cleansing. He is a warm, caring, sweet and insightful person. His intuition and calm approach helped us tremendously. Thank you Stephen !!!

Peggy, Glencoe, Illinois - February 19, 2009

Beautiful website! I love the name and the whole look. The photos are spectacular. How lucky we are that you're sharing your intuitive gifts again through the offerings on this site. You are so talented in many ways. I feel lucky to have worked with you; I am often reflecting and honoring the lessons you taught me so many years ago, especially when Laura and I are meeting. Thank you for the ongoing wisdom you impart to me and the world.

Bill Hess, Virginia - February 8, 2009

Stephen has a kindness and compassion rare to find in this world. He displays a mastered ability to tell me truths about myself while also allowing me to discover them on my own. He has been a mentor, teacher and friend since meeting him 9 years ago. Working with him has brought so much insight and clarity. Stephen shares his gifts in both spoken and unspoken ways. He truly embodies the joy of living from a place of essence. He reflects this love to anyone he meets, serving as a true teacher, loving person and trusted friend and coach. Stephen is special in so many ways. There is no doubt that if you have the opportunity to work with Stephen, your life will be changed for the better in a myriad of ways.

Wendy, Virginia - February 5, 2009

I call it the Bruno intensive and am beyond grateful that he is in my life. Stephen is one of the most giving, loving, committed, and gifted people I have ever known and even in the short time I've been working with him, he is helping to support that quantum leap in quantum time that I've been waiting for (helping to zero in on the very core of things). He does so with compassionate and heartfelt dedication. His intent is pure and his genuine beingness is a rarity. He possesses extremely accurate insightfulness which unfolds in divine timing; always in sync with mirroring just what your soul's essence is ready and asking for. I feel blessed and honored to have him in my life and beyond words, am in gratitude that I have been guided to him to help bring together the last pieces of the puzzle. He has a way to him that makes anyone feel comfortable...his humor, his huge heart, his extreme intelligence, and his multi-faceted gifts make him a gem of a find for anyone seeking to transform their lives in a major way. I love his honesty and his simplicity in how he helps one to transform something very complex with very basic processes that one need not even understand to enjoy the benefits. While I'm enjoying the process of working with him and how he helps me to commit to disciplined self-nurturing and embracing, I am even more joyful at connecting with someone who is now to me, a very dear friend of the heart.

Tania, Lake Tahoe, Nevada - February 4, 2009

Stephen is an insightful and compassionate guide. In a very short time, he has taught me several important things about myself that I did not know or chose to ignore. For anyone seeking to understand themselves or their paths more clearly, Stephen can be an invaluable resource.

Dave, Lake Tahoe, Nevada - February 3, 2009

In my first session with Stephen Bruno, he asked me who I am--not what I do or what I believe, but what makes me "me." After a few minutes, his curious questions brought me to some sort of experience I can only explain as a whif of "I-am-ness," which brought tears to my eyes and filled me with love. That was in 1996. Since then I have attended dozens of Stephen's groups and classes, read everything he has offered, bought his photography, and used his services as a counselor, healer, and life-coach. I find he just happens to know about practically everything that interests me: fiction writing, haiku, history, intuition, living to the fullest, nature, math, metaphysics, music, painting, philosophy, photography, relationships, running, small business building, space, tai-chi ... in many fields, he has somehow gained knowledge miles ahead of everything published. He is a Renaissance Man (true to his ancestor Giordano Bruno). But the depth of his abilities and the wealth of his knowledge are not even the best part. He is a genuinely kind and compassionate person. He really listens. He makes me feel good about myself. He always offers a different angle from which I may see my problems as advantages. He is expensive. I never had much income before but I always seemed to receive unexpected income when it came time to buy another set of four sessions. And my career has now begun to flourish: my publishing and teaching are growing exponentially in quality and quantity, not to mention the many priceless gifts like finding and marrying my soul mate, and beginning to recognize who I really am :)

I've been working with Stephen Bruno for the past 12 years. I consider him my spiritual teacher and a beloved friend. It has been an interesting journey in that even when Stephen and I were not technically working together, his profound compassion and dedicated spirit was always there for me. Regardless of the challenges I've had at times I've always known that because of his profound commitment to service there was a life altering lesson in everything. No matter what the appearance of something, there is always a way to turn it into an advantage and an opportunity for growth on all levels and in all dimensions. Working with Stephen has been such an incredible and unparalleled gift and blessing - a once in a lifetime thing. "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Many blessings and good fortune to all. If you are reading this I wish for you the adventure of a lifetime!
