Stacey's educational background and diverse qualifications have shaped her expertise in various fields, paving the way for her current focus on financial services and the healthcare industry.


Stacey decided to earn her life and health insurance license because of her own struggles with the healthcare industry. Stacey struggled with an unknown debilitating illness for 28 years. She was accused of doctor shopping, and other nefarious acts by the very people she was relying on and asking for help. She was in pain from head to toe, lost half eyesight, lost all functions of her pituitary and so many other parts of her body failing. Life became a struggle to maintain her sanity and to keep herself together while continuing to find a reason and a diagnosis. It took 28 years, but she was diagnosed with a very rare genetic mutation called Hypophosphatasia. Stacey continues to advocate for awareness about this disease and how it manifests itself. She has been asked on a yearly basis to speak to first year medical students at the University of Arizona and in conjunction with Banner Rheumatology, to educate them on what her life has been like with this disease. She has been through more health challenges than what most other insurance agents have experienced, and she can assist her clients in ways that are not normally thought of. Stacey’s main goal is to give back her knowledge to others by helping them to navigate the system to get what they need for their healthcare. She does not want anyone else to be treated how she was while searching for much needed answers.


Throughout her illustrious career, Stacey Schwizer has received many awards and accolades and has been recognized worldwide for her accomplishments. This year she will be considered for the Empowered Woman Award and to be featured in TIP (Top Industry Professionals) Magazine. She will be honored at IAOTP's annual awards gala in December at the magnificent Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas for her selection as Top Licensed Life / Health Agent & Owner of the Year 2025.


The President of the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP), Stephanie Cirami, stated: "Choosing Stacey for this honor was an easy decision for our panel to make. Stacey Schwizer is inspirational, influential, visionary, and thought leader. We cannot wait to meet her and celebrate her accomplishments at this year's gala." Looking back, Stacey attributes her success to her perseverance, positive mindset, and the mentors she has had along the way. When not working, pursuing her hobbies, and spending time with her children. In the future, Stacey wants to continue to provide seniors with the guidance they need to navigate their future.
