1-On-1 Whole-Person Coaching
w/ a soul-centered approachCurrently focusing more on parts work
with the IFS (Internal Family Systems) Model in my practice
Are you ready to break free from sabotaging patterns, reconnect with your heart & soul, and make moves toward the life you crave?
I guide humans—who are suffering and don’t know why—back HOME… to their whole self.
I approach what is showing up in your life with reverence, for there is meaning in the stories you weave about what is happening in your life. When you begin to understand and engage with these meaningful tales that are woven throughout your story—roots shooting back into your family line entangled with culture and the mysterious forces beyond our full understanding—then things that don’t matter slip away and you begin to feel more clear and purposeful.
I’m a compassionate listening who believes every ‘negative’ or ‘self-sabotaging’ behavior (those very things we dislike about ourselves and our experience) have a sliver of truth that is a gift to your authentic growth. We can discover this and re-organize your life to grow larger than your problems, instead of logically solving them. This is a soulful perspective.

Receive support and accountability as you make changes in your life that is aligned your restored self.
Who is Coaching for Anyhow?
Holistic Life Coaching is based on an integrative model: merging science-based research, imaginative + embodiment exercises, alternative approaches to healing, and depth psychological wisdom, so you get tailored sessions for what you need the most. Read more about my credentials here.
Coaching is done in a 1-on-1 container, in person or through video chat. While we do work to make sense of & process emotions, I do not diagnose. Coaching is not therapy. The focus of coaching is future-oriented rather than mostly past-oriented.
you want to move beyond self-sabotage
Uggg it’s not fun when you can see how you are sabotaging yourself but can’t seem to change it. I help you move through sabotaging behavior and provide accountability as you make the changes you want to make in your life.
you want to understand yourself better
Do you wonder why you react in certain ways to things? Is there relationship patterns you keep finding yourself in? Maybe you’re curious why something keeps coming up for you.
I help my clients make sense of why patterns show up in their life so they may grasp the lesson that wants to be learned.
you long for the spark to return in your relationship with yourself, others, and/or life in general
Have you lost the excitement you once had in your life? Does it seem like the passion has dwindled in your relationships? Do you not feel as alive and confident as you once did?
I help my clients reconnect with what they deeply desire and reclaim it in their life. It all starts with you. I believe life is too short to wait for other’s to give us permission to feel the level of passion and purpose we crave. We have the power to rise in love which emanates out showing others what’s possible.
you feel conflicted about a decision/ unclear of how to move forward/ feel stuck
There’s a part of you that says yes while another part says no, creating tension that causes you to feel stuck.
I help my clients identify and understand their inner cast of characters so that they can work together for the client’s overall wellbeing. Along the lines of feeling stuck, in a session we explore & untangle thoughts and feelings that are conflicting so they may move forward with more ease.
you are ready to up-level in multiple areas of your life
Are you looking to up-level your life? Do you want a life that nourishes you on many levels (emotionally, physically, mentally, relationally, spiritually)?
In coaching, we explore what your life could look like through the power of the imagination and set up action steps to create a life you love.
you feel like something is missing
Your life may seem good from the outside but you know something is off. You want your life to feel truly rewarding on a deep level. You want to feel like you have some sort of purpose.
I help my clients clear away societal norms and expectations so they can reconnect with what truly matters to them on a deeper, soul level. Following the feeling of loss, my clients can explore what is happening for them in a safe container, so they can integrate this experience as they move forward.
you want support as you go through a big transition
Have you or are you about to go through a big life transition? Moving across country? Leaving your corporate job? Going back to school? Saying yes to your passion project? Are you taking a risk and stepping off the well worn path?
It can be hard to listen to what is right for us when the people in our lives do not support our decisions. As a coach, I provide support and accountability as my clients make sustainable changes in their life that align with who they truly are.
you want to live a life that is true to your internal compass
We are raised in families, communities, and cultures that say who we should be, what we should do, and how we should live our lives.
My approach to coaching is empowering, in the sense that the client is in the driver’s seat. When they begin to take care of their emotional state, listen and follow through on their internal wisdom they gain a sense of self-trust. Trust is vital for our peace and wellbeing. When we trust that we can pick ourselves back up from most anything, that resources are available to us when we need them, and that the circumstances in our lives have a lesson for us, we become more courageous moving forward.
your energy feels diminished
Has your energy felt zapped recently?
Our energy levels are influenced by many things (food, exercise, emotional/mental health). Most of my work is on the emotional/mental level. Often, just having a place to feel our emotions is enough to clear stagnant energy. Other times, it takes work over an extended period of time to release a pattern’s emotional hold.
My Approach
Imagination
The use of metaphoric language, the power of storytelling, the envisioning of the future are tools we use in coaching. The power of imagination connects the dots in our lives. As a lifelong explorer and learner, I am genuinely curious about what you’re made of and the potential that lies within you. Let’s see what possibilities await.
Embodiment
So often the body can get left behind in coaching, which leaves out a big chunk of your source of wisdom. On your journey, the body – with its instincts, intuitions, emotions, and sensations – is a resource for guidance. We will explore different mindfulness exercises along with powerful questions that reconnect body/mind/heart/spirit.
Reflection & Awareness
Reflection is being able to look again at something. When we do this we begin to understand and process, opening up channels that were once previously blocked. But to look again we need a level of awareness of what is happening in the present. Awareness of uncomfortable feelings, emotions, thoughts, and sensations bring our tolerance level up which then helps us move through them.
Reclaiming Your Experience
Your experience of what happened, what is happening, and what you think will happen matters. When we honor our experience, we can discover what we want and need. This is a process of reclaiming what is true for you. Through realigning with what you desire below the surface you can then make changes in your life that support you.
Compassion & Non-judgement
Sometimes what we really need is to hold some compassion for ourselves as we go through change. Other times we just need a non-judgmental ear as we sort through our thoughts and feelings out loud. I hold compassion and non-judgement for you in the coaching space.
Befriending Problems
Instead of making your problems the enemy and jumping right into trying to get rid of or fix them, could there be a reason they are there? Could you find a way to work with what is happening instead of against it? Often it is in a place of acceptance where solutions present themselves.
Archetypal Perspectives
There are many perspectives in which to look at your circumstances, your experiences, your life. There are also many personalities and ways of being within yourself. I hold the complexity of you and help you see from your multitude, so you can live a bigger, richer life.
Are you ready to invest in your magnificent life?
Come get yourself an ally and let’s explore what there is to discover about YOU in the coaching container. I truly consider it a sacred space where powerful transformation can occur!
I’m currently NOT taking any new clients.
How It Works
Schedule a Free 1:1
I offer a free 45 min call to chat about what is going on in your life and what your next soul-aligned chapter could look like. Bring your questions and let’s see if we are a good fit.
Create a Coaching Plan
After our initial conversation, we’ll discuss what the appropriate amount of sessions are to achieve what it is you want to achieve. On top of this, we’ll see what kind of foundational sessions are best for you: exploring values, strengths, dreams, etc.
Restore & Adore Your Way
Through ongoing support, encouragement, and accountability within 60 min sessions every week, you’ll be on your way to living your most fulfilling life!
I have learned so much about myself in the two short months I worked with Kristina. I learned how to appreciate myself, set boundaries, and I created tools to keep in my back pocket on a rainy day. We met once a week for an hour and focused on my goals, feelings, habits, and how to overcome some unwanted behaviors. During our sessions, we would create mantras, meditate, and analyze why I was feeling a certain way.
Kristina is a great observer, most of the time she took what I said and taught it to me without even realizing I was the one that said it first! She is supportive, authentic, easy to be around, and helped me feel extremely comfortable during every session. My expectations are exceeded; this experience has created great personal growth and momentum in my life- that was much needed!
