Her Story

From pain to
profound joy

In 2019, Kristin experienced debilitating neuropathy affecting all four limbs and her neck. Conventional medicine offered limited hope. Through her 20 years of experience with Compassionate Communication and developing joy practices, she healed herself.

Today, Kristin works with individuals, couples, and groups who are done waiting for their circumstances to change before they allow themselves to feel alive. Her coaching creates space to stop performing life and start actually living it.

She is the author of a memoir that won 4 awards including the prestigious Nautilus Award, whose previous honorees include Barbara Kingsolver and the Dalai Lama.

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
