“I have worked with Kristi over the course of about 8 years and she has helped me on so many levels. She has been instrumental in changing damaging self-talk and how I approach intimate relationships. Kristi helped me get clear on how to resource, how to "fill my cup" with specific strategies for when I am feeling especially stuck, anxious, or down. Together we worked on releasing trauma from my body with grounding exercises and TRE (Trauma Release Exercise).

Kristi is very skilled at building empathy as a path for self-healing and especially for resolving conflict in relationships. She was amazing as a couple's communications coach guiding my partner and me out of our frustrations and the "story" into understanding and empathy for each other. This has been such a help for me. Finding my empathy has allowed not only my own self-healing, but has also helped me in challenging interpersonal situations. Situations, in the past, where I may have been defensive, I can now sit in a place of gratitude and understanding and have been able to effect way more change than if I had been accusatory or ungrounded.

I have recommended Kristi to friends who are in places of trauma, who need clarity in relationships, and who want to find empathy in a challenging situation. I trust Kristi and have gained way more from her than from traditional therapy settings. She is a highly skilled coach and facilitator and I highly recommend her services.”
