WHAT IS THE LIMINAL SPACE?

The Liminal Space is the transitional healing phase between who you have been and who you are becoming.

It is not an ending or a beginning, but a sacred pause in between, where the old gently dissolves and the new quietly takes root.

In this safe space, you begin to gently notice the patterns and coping strategies that once kept you safe, but now hold you back from being the best version of yourself.

You recognise the limiting beliefs that have kept you stuck in repetitive cycles, rather than creating the life you want to be living.

Through this process, you begin to let go of what is misaligned, rewire your brain, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels the most authentic, whole and alive.

It is a space of possibility, where new ways of being take shape and new pathways open before you.

A space where you cultivate a deep, loving connection with yourself, laying the foundation for long-lasting wellness.

Welcome to the Liminal Space.

“The body remembers what the mind forgets, and it knows the way home to healing.”

- Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score.

Somatic Healing for Mind, Body & Spirit.

Your body carries an innate wisdom and natural capacity to heal. When we begin to listen to its signals, it will reveal what is needed to return to balance.

My role is to gently guide you back into connection with your body, using a range of body focused therapies to support your nervous system to regulate and restore. From this place of alignment, you can reconnect with your true self and experience a deeper sense of health, wholeness, and ease.

meet your practitioner: Steph PAUCHNIK.

Steph Pauchnik Holistic Healer Melbourne

I'm a yoga teacher and wellness practitioner specialising in somatic therapies that regulate your nervous system and unleash your life-force energy so that you can come back into alignment with your true self and feel healthy and whole again.

After battling with corporate burnout, I found my own holistic path to healing, and ultimately realised that I was living a life that wasn’t aligned with my values.

A life-long student, I've dedicated myself to diving deeper into the powerful healing modalities that have had the greatest impact on my own healing journey, becoming a certified practitioner in order to support others.

I’m passionate about treating the mind-body-spirit holistically, weaving various techniques into each session to support my clients in their healing.

Based in Melbourne’s Bayside area, I offer in-person and virtual one-on-one sessions, and group wellness events and retreats.

What people are saying.

  • Absolutely transformative experience with Stephanie! From the moment I stepped into her space, I felt an immediate sense of warmth and safety. Her presence is incredibly welcoming, and you can tell that she truly cares about your well-being. Stephanie has an amazing ability to create a space where healing can happen on the deepest level, allowing you to access and release energy that has been stored in the body for who knows how long. I left my first session feeling lighter, more grounded, and deeply connected to my own body. I highly recommend working with Stephanie. What a gem!

    - Kellee

  • Steph is a wonderful grounding guide. She tailors her approach to each client and is an open and calm presence. The space she works in is relaxing and curated beautifully. I am already looking forward to my next session. Highly recommend.

    - Rosemary

  • If you're ready to shift some old, outdated stories and stagnant energy from your body, then Steph is ya girl. Highly recommended.

    - Kay

  • I absolutely LOVE my sessions with Steph! The experience Steph has really shows through with the way she works. Steph's care and depth of understanding gives a deep level of healing that is truly on another level. I see Steph regularly now as each session feels like it's a continuous build on the previous, and continues to get better and better! I strongly recommend you see Steph for a treatment!

    - Tim

  • My first session with Steph was a magical experience, she was very welcoming and understanding I felt very safe with her and in her hands. This being my first kind of somatic energy experience has made me want to go back again to continue to progress my journey :) 10/10

    - Yannick

  • I felt so safe and was able to trust Steph's guidance immediately. It was very intense and emotional, but also very soft and gentle experience. My body was moving in such a natural way with the energy flow, like it knows all those movements on a subconscious level. I felt very supported throughout the whole process and I deeply enjoyed it. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Steph!

    - Ines

  • I have been receiving Spinal Energetics from Steph for four months. She has been my go to person as I go through life transitions. Her calm and supportive energy creates a safe space to release whatever emotions come up for me during session. There are no words to explain the shifts I have felt, but what I can say is I have been working through things in therapy for years but it only took one powerful session with Steph to have a life changing breakthrough. I was able to let go of years of emotional pain and resentment and feel a deep sense of love and forgiveness.

    - Ashley

  • I had never tried energy healing before and wasn’t sure what to expect. If I had seen videos beforehand, I probably would have been skeptical. However, upon experiencing it firsthand, I get it. I had an involuntary response that caught me off guard. These healing sessions draw out things buried deep beneath the surface. Whilst that might sound intimidating, it doesn’t overwhelm the mind—it simply moves through you and is released. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for inner healing and balance.

    - Tracy

  • Spinal Energetics with Steph had such a positive impact on my healing journey. Her beautiful, intuitive and welcoming spirit created a safe space for my body to release emotions, and for me to get in touch with areas that need healing. With patience and understanding, she gave time for me to process the treatment. I would absolutely choose Steph every time for healing treatments!

    - Jacinta

  • I went to see Steph for a Spinal Energetics session and it was fantastic from start to end. Everything she did was professional and thoughtful. I felt very comfortable through the whole session and I could feel a difference straight away. She also sent me an e-mail a couple of days later to see if I’m alright. Extraordinary service which I can only recommend!

    - Katie

  • Wow…! I had no idea what to expect when I saw Steph. I found it really relaxing, and I was left feeling sleepy. Had an amazing night sleep. Steph is very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend

    - Nathanael

  • I had a great session with Steph and can only recommend! Steph made our group feel welcome, safe and comfortable. The session was very healing and transformative! Steph guided us through the session in a very loving way and made us all feel at ease. Thank you again x

    - Carina

  • I was a spinal energetics virgin before visiting Steph. Her space is so welcoming and safe, I felt instantly relaxed & at ease with her amazing energy which enveloped me. My sessions have been complemented by Steph's intuitive healing, reiki & sound. I have experienced instant relaxation & release getting out of my head & into my body. I felt like I walked out on a cloud, so much lighter & clearer headed. Thank you beautiful, I will be back for sure!

    - Bec

  • Steph is fabulous! She is genuine, intuitive and kind. From the moment I arrived I was warmly welcomed and made to feel at ease in her beautiful space. After my session I felt lighter, calmer and slept incredibly well. Highly recommend.

    - Casey

  • I really enjoyed this evening's session, lots of powerful moments. My body and mind experienced strong release and relief energetically (a beautiful feeling). I definitely had moments of sadness (familiar, nothing new) however, the weightlessness of my euphoria blissfully embraced and comforted my burdens with a compassionate heart.
