Stella Steinbeck

About me

The thrill of our first meeting. My heart high up in my chest as the car pulls up to the curb… My Story. My early life was wholesome and sheltered, nurturing my core values of compassion and consideration of others. I’m grateful for the ease and grace I now bring to any social interaction, but eventually this safety was suffocating—I craved novel experiences, unconventional pleasures. After I graduated from an Ivy League university with a degree in the hard sciences, I faced a choice. I could continue sleepily down the path society had laid out for me, or strike out on my own, create myself entirely, and become: Stella. I took a risk and booked a flight. I didn’t know where I’d end up in my travels,– I wanted to focus on the now, the present, the physical sensation of the moment. After two years of travel and self-exploration, I returned to New York an independent and sensual woman.
