“I am 63 years old and have worked very hard over the years with many different therapists. We all deserve to live our lives fully and realize our potential and celebrate the joy of being alive…yet it is so hard to find the person who holds the key to unlock what is inside. Kirstin was that person for me. From my first session with her to my last, and when I need to check in, I leave with tools to ground me and move me forward. Kirstin is a remarkably skilled and gifted coach but also a wise, intuitive and natural healer. Her ability to see me as whole despite my jagged broken parts is the most empowering thing I have ever experienced.”

“Kirstin is a master at unraveling old stuck stories, many of which you aren’t even consciously aware you are carrying. While working with her, I was able to shift perspectives on long-held stories and finally release false beliefs that were holding me back in my personal and professional life. Her ability to shake up difficult subjects with deceptively simple questions and kind humor allowed me to open up and actually make lasting changes.”

“Kirstin has offered me so many brilliant insights that have changed the way I view the world, and my place in it. Her work is all about empowering individuals to live, think and speak for themselves, discovering their inner truth, and living it to the fullest. I’m so grateful to have her support and guidance. She has helped me work through places where I’ve been stuck for years, and as a result, I’ve become more present, more aware and more grateful in every moment of my life. Kirstin has the ability to see in us what we cannot see in ourselves. She is one of the most gifted spiritual teachers I have ever encountered. ”

“I struggled with anxiety for twenty years before I met Kirstin, and made very little progress despite spending a lot of time in therapy. Kirstin took a very different approach, and for the first time in my life this issue is significantly improving. Her work focuses on wedging just the tiniest bit of awareness between the triggering moment and the story it generates. Without that gap, nothing can change. But with it, possibilities emerge that no one could have seen beforehand. ”

“After 6 sessions with Kirstin, I can more clearly see that the stories “I’m Not Enough” and “I’m Damamged” are just something created by the mind. They are not the truth. I’m starting to get a sense of what it is to live authentically. From this perspective, what is most important to me is radical self-care. She has compassionately helped me to cut away the stuff in my life that is not serving me and to forgive myself. She is keenly perceptive and has helped me see what my heart is truly hungering for.”

“Kirstin completely changed my life, helping me move from severe depression to hope. In our sessions, Kirstin has held me accountable for my shit and didn’t let me continue with my warped beliefs. I have been able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and have come to the realization that the hurtful narrative controlling my life up until now was untrue. I now know that I can be loved unconditionally for exactly who I am. Kirstin is caring, kind, intelligent and has been critical in helping me make my life better and to be WHOLE again. I love her.”

“Of the many healers, counselors and teachers with whom I’ve worked, Kirstin shines among them with her gift of gentle awareness and integration. Speaking with her is both a deeply healing and illuminating experience.

When I first started sessions with Kirstin, I was quite disjointed, lost and cramped inside my own mental loops. I was caught on a hampster wheel of seeking everywhere outside myself for answers. Sessions with Kirstin have been a gentle invitation out of this space. Kirstin is a master of holding space for anything to unfold, no matter how uncomfortable, intense or foreign. I’ve picked up so many tools that I return to regularly. It is through working with Kirstin that I learned to look for the answers in myself and, subsequently, to unlock my unique chest of gifts—my imagination, my intuition, and my deep trust in my self.”

“Kirstin has such an open energy that I felt safe and able to trust her right away. Her intuition and spiritual intelligence are her greatest gifts. She has an unbelievable way of being right there with you and thoroughly understanding what you are trying to communicate. So many time I felt challenged to articulate my thoughts effectively, but Kirstin would repeat them back to me and not only tap into what I was thinking and feeling but into something deeper that I knew was there but couldn’t form into words. With her guidance, I finished the program with a much clearer understanding of what I want to gain from myself and from my life.”

“After having already tried counseling and reading self-help books, I began this process with Kirstin, still hurting and searching for direction. Within our first session, she was able to cut through to the heart of the matter. I often felt challenged by Kirstin, but not judged and I appreciated that she enthusiastically weighed in and didn’t leave me floundering in what I was already feeling and experiencing. The single most important thing I have gained from this process is ownership, ownership of my feelings and ownership of my actions, even the uncomfortable or unpleasant ones. I understand that taking ownership in this way is truly empowering.”

“As a writing teacher, I often sing the praises of narrative techniques like “zooming in and zooming out”—perspective shifts that help the reader understand the details, context, and arc of a story. Perception shifts are what I’ve felt in my many sessions with Kirstin, and they have been life-changing; with her support I’ve taken productive and thoughtful risks in my work life, cultivated my creative practice, and built stronger relationships with family, friends, and my partner. I’ve found courage to try all this via Kirstin’s brilliant zoom-ins and zoom-outs, as well as her myriad other dialogic tools. She’s one of the most gifted, compassionate, and responsive conversationalists I’ve ever met, and she crafts each session’s arc with care, making sure you have actionable takeaways and a clearer, deeper understanding of your own values. I carry her wisdom, advice, and humor way beyond each session and truly treasure it.”
