Steffani Raff (a.k.a. the Cap’n) is a talented storyteller and gifted teacher, in addition to being a mom of three incredible children who love adventure. She is committed to mentoring others in the art of story creation and sharing, because she has experienced the benefits of storytelling firsthand.
“I believe that stories are light. A light to guide, a light to illuminate understanding, a light to chase away fear. Every time you hear a well-crafted story it opens up another possiblilty of living better than before. The power of creating and telling stories for my children has touched my home in such a beautiful way, it has motivated me to help others experience what we have.”
Steffani has been a professional storyteller for over 10 years – performing, educating, conducting workshops, coaching, and mentoring. She has been a mother for over twelve years and has had a lot of practice weaving storytelling into family life.
