words from past clients

"She has changed my life by helping me accept the duality of my circumstances."
I was alive in September 2022, but I was not living - I was merely existing day to day as a high functioning mother, wife and accountant. I didn’t know who I was. I was drinking daily and knew something needed to change but also knew I couldn’t do it alone.
When I started working with Kristy, this is when my life really started changing and I finally began living. In her coaching, I was witnessed, supported and guided. I was able to release shame and guilt that I held onto for years…while being met with love and compassion.
I am no longer existing - I am growing and thriving. And it all started working with Kristy. She played an instrumental role in helping me save myself. I love myself and I’m excited for what lies ahead. I never imagined that I’d be able to say that and believe it.

"Working with Kristy has been one of the best decisions I'd made!"
Working with Kristy has been one of the BEST decisions I've made! Her warm and compassionate nature was just what I needed as I changed my relationship with alcohol. I loved the Voxer (voice messaging) support, reinforcing the healing work in our weekly sessions. Kristy is wise, intuitive, and non-judgemental, a trusted guide on the path to wholeness, self-love, and sobriety.
I highly recommend working with her.

"I feel like I grew a lot across this process, even more so than years of therapy and other coaching."
It was such an absolute pleasure working with Kristy. She has an incredibly calming presence and so much empathy. Going through this process, it was so helpful to have that demeanor. She was so patient and responsive to all of my questions and messages. I just felt like she was truly focused on me. I feel like I grew a lot across this process, even more so than years of therapy and other coaching. I have changed and taken better control of my life and understood how to put myself first. I took some big and scary steps with her support. And I've undoubtedly improved my relationships and taken accountability for my role in conflicts.”
