Stacia Rae Robitaille (pronounced Stay-sha Rae Robe-a-tie) is not just a soulful adventurer and mindful empowerment teacher; she is a beacon of hope in a world often clouded by challenges. Her life, marked by a tethered spinal cord, congenital and neurological differences, and multiple surgeries, is a testament to resilience. Despite these hurdles, Stacia’s spiritual quest and heart’s calling have only intensified in her sixty years on Earth.

Shaped by early physical and mental suffering, Stacia transformed adversity into gratitude, finding solace in self-reflection and solitude. Her remarkable experiences fuel her mission to make a positive impact. Introduced to LAPD’s Jeopardy Program, a gang prevention and intervention initiative, in her late 20s by her husband, Hockey Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille, Stacia got her first taste of providing life-altering opportunities for at-risk youth. In 2005, following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, she founded Shelter for Serenity, offering housing and essentials to displaced families, living among them, and eventually aiding in their relocation. This profound experience led her to establish Echoes of Hope in 2007, dedicated to empowering at-risk and emancipated youth in Los Angeles, changing thousands of lives through support, resources, and love.

In 2013, Stacia’s transformative 663-mile walk along Spain’s Camino de Santiago, mostly in silence, ignited her passion for writing and teaching. With various spiritual practice certifications, including graduation from the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program through UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, Spiritual Psychology at USM, and a continuing student of Eckhart Tolle, she launched Mindful Empowerment in 2020. Here, she offered classes and one-on-one sessions, sharing her wisdom globally via Zoom. Currently, Stacia is writing a book about a 60-day soul adventure she took across several states in an RV, a day for each year of her life.

As a Mindful Empowerment Teacher, Stacia guides others on their soul-centered journeys while humbly and wisely acknowledging herself as a lifelong learner. She takes immense pride in raising her two sons, Steven and Jessarae, her “adopted” son Jevon, who joined her family at 17, and the many Echoes of Hope youths she considers her extended family.

Living her heart’s calling, Stacia empowers others by teaching the importance of harnessing one’s inner strength. She believes that a true teacher awakens students to their own inner authority. With an indomitable spirit, Stacia is an inspiring force and an agent of positive change in the world.
