Ms. Alvarenga's Story

Welcome! My name is Stephanie.

I overall had a good childhood til about my middle school year.

During this time, I was molested till my ninth grade of high school by my father. My mother rejected me and didn't care much about what I did or who I was with. My older sister would envy me in everything.

I drank during my high school years, which led me to be raped by my "best friend." I became a stripper at the age of 17. I only did drugs one time, except for weed, but that was all the time.

I left day school and went to night school to work as a stripper. I loved it. It was my way of getting the attention and, believe it or not, the feeling of being wanted. I lived from friend's house to friend's house.

I soon became pregnant and had my first child at 17. I was so happy because finally, someone would love, want, and need me.

My relationship with his father was not good. He was never there for me, nor would he support me. He did hit me and grabbed me a lot. During my time with my son's father, it was rough. I had to support him and my son.

When our car broke down, I would have to walk 20 minutes to the store to buy pampers. My mom and dad were not there to help. There was even a time that I was held at gunpoint coming back from the store with my son. That was scary. I didn't have anything - they just took my phone.

At this point, I'm tired of all of this. I went back to stripping. A home away from home. A way out of this pain that I couldn't get away from at home.

In the beginning, I was working three days max a week. Then four, then five, then all week. I mean, this behavior became my addiction.

I didn't care who it was hurting or what it was doing to me mentally. I wasn't or didn't feel love from my son's father or my parents, but I felt that when I was at the club.

I wanted to be there to take my mind off my pain at home.

A few years passed, and I was still a stripper and no longer with my son's father. I didn't have many relationships after, but they were a disaster when I did. Nothing would go right.

I always choose my addiction over them.

I moved back in with my parents but did not have a relationship with them. I supported myself and my son. Soon enough, my addiction got worse. I started to do more in the adult industry.

A few more years passed, and I met someone that opened my eyes to love - they made me feel like someone loved and adored me.

His visions in life were lovely. He was fun. He made me laugh. I hadn't felt like myself until I met him.

But even though he was good to me, I still went back to my old ways. "Why couldn't I stop," right?

After being with him for about two years, I started to talk to my parents again. But after getting good with my parents, my dad died in a major car accident.

I had to be the strong one. I had to be the support system for the whole family. I had to do everything. While everyone was grieving, I couldn't.

Let's fast forward. I am ready to change. I started by learning how to heal through a few books. Not any that made me change, but I would say it was the seed.

I then began to learn Tantra. That is where my real healing began. Tantra showed me how to love myself first. It taught me how to breathe and let go. It showed me that I was allowed to be vulnerable, and the only love I needed was my love.

I learned about Chakras and how our body is connected to all of our emotions. I became a Tantra Practitioner, Massage Therapist, a Happy Coach, and a Reiki Master.

I wanted to do more. I wanted to help people who went through what I did and thought there was no way out. Through my search, I found ARCS.

When I read about ARCS, I was curious about it all. When I joined the live class, I felt the connection. As humans, we desire connection, the feeling of belonging to something or someone, and I felt like this was it.

This is my calling.

So, I joined. During this time, I was also becoming a Rapid Transformation Therapist with Marrisa Peer (hypnosis). These two combined have changed my whole life.

I found things about me that I didn't know I was hiding. I learned why I thought the way I did, did the things I did, believed the way I did, and why I desired the things I did.

When I learned all of this, I developed the power of knowledge and learned how to accept what I can't change and how to change what I can.

This journey was not easy.

I cried, I yelled. I sat and looked at a wall to find my inner self. I mean, it opened me up. This is what we need to heal. This is what my focus is on.

Through my experiences, healing adventures, and practices, I want to be a support system for my clients. Each client is different, so my approach is to help each client based on their needs.

The tools I use from my toolbox are based upon the client's needs and goals. We need to find, express, and accept our feelings or thoughts.

My goal is to get my clients to find the root cause of their issues and help guide them through this work and this journey of becoming their self-image.

I want my clients to see me as someone who understands, gets it, and has walked a similar path. No one is better than the other. No one's experiences are worse than others. It's unique, and it's our own.
