Stephanie Ignazio is an intuitive painter, certified Reiki practitioner, and creative art and soul guide whose work explores the healing and transformative power of creativity.

Through color, mark-making, and gentle creative practice, Stephanie creates spaces where art becomes less about outcome and more about reconnection, curiosity, and personal expression.

With over two decades of experience as an art educator and facilitator, Stephanie has guided both individuals and corporate groups through creativity-centered experiences designed to nurture wellbeing, reduce creative pressure, and restore a sense of play. Her workshops, including Nurture Your Creative Soul, invite participants to reconnect with their innate creativity in supportive and welcoming environments.

Stephanie’s interdisciplinary approach blends intuitive painting, energy awareness, and mindful creative exploration. As a certified Reiki practitioner, she integrates an understanding of energetic balance and emotional presence into her work, allowing creative practice to become a grounding and restorative experience.

Her teaching and creative offerings have included:

  • intuitive painting and creative exploration workshops

  • mandala drawing experiences

  • chakra-inspired creative and healing guides

  • explorations of color symbolism and emotional resonance

  • facilitated creative wellness experiences for both private and corporate groups

Stephanie is also the author of Mandala Mantras, a coloring book publication rooted in meditation, pattern, and mindful creativity.

Today, her studio practice centers on intuitive painting and the creation of gentle creative spaces where adults can rediscover the joy of making without judgment or expectation.

Based in New England, Stephanie draws ongoing inspiration from nature, seasonal rhythms, and the flowers she grows and tends each year, weaving together art, color, and lived experience into a practice grounded in beauty, presence, and renewal.

Where does the name Hazel and Henrietta come from?
