Hello, I’m Stephanie Lopes
I’m a qualified and insured Life Coach whose work has been shaped by both professional training and lived experience.
My Story
For a long time, I did what so many people do. I kept going. From the outside, I looked capable. On the inside, I was carrying far more than anyone realised.
My journey didn’t begin with illness. It began with a genuine fascination for the human body and a desire to help people live healthier, happier lives. In 2008, I trained as a holistic therapist, building a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology, and then onto Life Coaching.
Then life became my greatest teacher...
Over the years, I experienced recovery from childhood addiction, infertility and IVF, severe endometriosis, cancer, surgical menopause, autoimmune illness and more operations than I could ever imagine possible. Like many women, I found myself searching for answers when I knew something wasn’t right, even when those concerns were dismissed.
Those experiences changed me... They taught me that health is rarely about one symptom, one diagnosis or one quick fix. It’s about understanding the whole person. Our hormones, nervous system, emotions, relationships, beliefs and environment all influence how we feel, and healing often begins when we stop treating them as separate.
Throughout my career, one thing has become increasingly clear. People don’t just need information. They need someone who truly listens, who asks the right questions, who challenges them when necessary, and who believes in their ability to move forward, even when they can’t quite believe it themselves. That is why I created Rebel Alma.
Rebel Alma was born from the belief that we can do better. Better conversations. Better support. Better understanding.
A place where science and lived experience sit alongside one another.
A place where those who feel overwhelmed, dismissed or disconnected can begin rebuilding their lives with clarity, confidence and resilience.
Today, I’m a trained and insured Life Coach with qualifications in Anatomy & Physiology and Health Coaching. I belong to a governing body (FHT) and continue to develop my knowledge in women’s health, menopause, burnout, nervous system regulation and behaviour change because learning never stops, and neither does my commitment to those I support.
I know what it’s like to lose your confidence. I know what it’s like to feel exhausted, unheard and disconnected from yourself. And I know what it takes to find your way back.
Not through being perfect... but through small, consistent changes that, over time, create extraordinary transformation. I believe our past can shape us without defining us. I believe knowledge gives us choices. I believe courage is built one small step at a time and that life is too short to live by someone else’s expectations… including the ones we’ve placed on ourselves.
