The WHY AND HOW

Kristin's healing journey began early in life, driven by a profound desire to not only alleviate her pain but to understand its origins. This quest led her to immerse herself in psychology studies in the early 2000s. During her first therapy session, she tentatively suggested she might need about six months of treatment. The therapist's response was sobering: a hearty laugh followed by the assessment that she was "at minimum, a decade-long job of sleeves-rolled-up, hardcore, dedicated work." He verbalized that she had endured every type of trauma identified by his profession multiple times over, minus military combat. For two decades she traversed the globe exploring countless healing modalities, both conventional and alternative. Through intensive psychotherapy, a relentless quest for purpose, paralleling the stark contradiction of a consumerism based advertising career, she excavated down to the bottom floor pit. Now she stands ready to guide others, viewing our world as an intricate web of interconnected paths primed for collective spiritual evolution.

"It's wildly complex," Kristin explains, "the variables that interweave to shape a person's identity, self-concept, and fate. When we bring our unconscious self into the realm of consciousness — reality as we know it and the meaning we ascribe to it, transforms before our eyes. New possibilities and pathways emerge, ones we couldn't have fathomed before because we had no ground concepts for them."

Seminal works such as "The Four (and Fifth) Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz, "How Emotions Are Made" by Lisa Feldman Barrett, and “The Mutant Message” by Marlo Morgan, inspire her philosophy towards healing. These texts, among hundreds of others, inform her considered strategies for upgrading personal narratives.

A Breakthrough Approach

In 2018, a mentor introduced Kristin to Family Constellations, a therapeutic approach developed by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger in the 1970s. As an astrology enthusiast with a four-planet packed twelfth house, she found this method to be nothing less than a paradigm-shifting game changer.

Our families profoundly shape our narratives. For those who've experienced trauma or estrangement, acknowledging this can be challenging—they often seek distance from those who've caused pain. Conversely, even those content with their family dynamics may struggle to recognize the subtle impacts of generational trauma on their daily lives.

Family Constellations offered a vital breakthrough in understanding personal healing. It provided a way to explore the root causes of emotional wounds, enabling her to comprehend her past, heal deeply, and move forward with greater clarity. The therapy focuses on understanding family dynamics and generational patterns, helping individuals trace and heal the emotional origins of personal challenges.

Unique PATHS to Healing

Through her unique approach of systemic thinking and psychology-informed coaching, Kristin offers an authentic and comprehensive path to introspection. She creates a safe space for exploration, allowing clients to become their own center of gravity. Her expertise in recognizing clients' triggers and traumas facilitates the unearthing and dissolution of unconscious blocks, paving the way for powerful realizations and lasting change.

"After all," Kristin reflects, "we are each exquisite puzzles, gifted with the perpetual challenge of choice: to self-sort or not. If we tune in and follow the cosmic breadcrumbs, we're divinely guided to integrate the masterful mashup of our essence—the why and how of our being."

The Journey Continues

Kristin's insights, forged through diverse experiences of adversity, position her as well-equipped to assist those seeking self-understanding and purposeful direction in an increasingly complex world. Her approach complements ongoing therapeutic work, providing the missing link many have been seeking to address long-standing issues and facilitate profound personal growth. "Over-understanding is my default trauma-response of choice," she jests, but with that hard-fought and won expertise, she can help others navigate their own healing journeys.

Through her work, Kristin envisions a world where individuals can unravel the intricate tapestry of their existence, revealing patterns and connections they never knew existed, and ultimately elevate the collective, interconnected web of one spirit. As we navigate the complexities of our inner landscapes, Kristin's approach reminds us that healing is not just about overcoming past traumas, but about integrating our experiences into a cohesive, empowering narrative that propels us forward with truer purpose.
