Stefanie von Fallois is an accomplished therapist, coach and acknowledged expert with special needs populations (children and adults). She brings significant experience to the communication process within families through her unique approach for assessing, building awareness and creating an understanding towards improving the quality of life.

Stefanie’s successes are enhanced by her multi-faced background, from her extensive career in healthcare in Europe and USA as a registered nurse, psychologist for autistic youth and lead therapist in animal assisted therapeutic environment.

Stefanie is known for her warmth, humor and open heart. She immediately embraces the entire family. One mother conveyed this sentiment best, “We met a therapist, but just two weeks later, we said good bye to a friend.”

Stefanie has been recognized in European newspapers, TV specials and documentaries.Stefanie von Fallois - Curriculum Vitae
