I’m a yoga therapist and life coach with 20+ years of combined study and training in yoga therapy, coaching, Ayurveda, and mindset. I work with women who’ve done the work (the therapy, the books, the appointments) and still feel stuck. Usually they’ve been told everything looks fine, and they know it isn’t.
I’m honest, I ask the questions you’ve never considered, and I’ll hold your feet to the fire, with so much care. Together we’ll find what you can’t see on your own: the beliefs that quietly turned into patterns, and the patterns that became a life. Then you can move forward in a way that feels intentional, grounded, and true to who you are now.
You are complex and multi-layered
You are made of memories, experiences, emotions, and patterns. So, treating the symptom or referring out to a multitude of specialists just creates more dis-connection between all of the moving parts that are you… Body, Mind Body, and Spirit .
I know because it happened to me too.
I look back now and there were so many signs…
It started as anxiety then depression. Then came the eating, shopping, and the endless naps. It was a slow descent… so slow it wasn’t noticeable to anyone, including me.
Until, decades later, I went to pick up my latest prescription and the pharmacist refused to fill it. When my doctor insisted, I went home confused, embarrassed and numb. The prescription medication wasn’t helping and coping mechanisms such as sleeping, eating and shopping were just getting worse.
My soul had been over-medicated and under-utilized for far too long
By all accounts, my life was good. And, trust me, everyone else thought so, too. Because when I finally figured out that I wanted something different, something more, I was called selfish, ungrateful, and impatient. ‘Just wait until the kids finish school’ or ‘Do you know how lucky you are?’ or ‘Why do you only think about yourself?’
Ummm, because I was dying?
Suffice to say that I woke up that afternoon in the drugstore, as the pharmacist argued with my doctor.
Not only do I feel better, I feel more whole and healthy. I truly am fulfilled and surrounded by joy every day with my family, my animals and my clients.
So, if you are ready to finally feel better, let’s talk.
Instead of steroids, and with the support of my MD, I engaged in Kristal's Coaching for my Fibromyalgia, and am now symptom free! More than this, I see the Fibromyalgia is a physical manifestation- a symptom- inflamed by my life-long belief patterns
Instead of steroids, and with the support of my MD, I engaged in Kristal's Coaching for my Fibromyalgia, and am now symptom free! More than this, I see the Fibromyalgia is a physical manifestation- a symptom- inflamed by my life-long belief patterns. As life changes, I need to confront these beliefs objectively, assess whether they are a net benefit, or not, in my life, and take action. Now I have the tools. Thanks, Kristal.

Dig deep and be honest with yourself
Prior to coaching with Kristal, I had been going to counseling. Although, that had it's place, I found that it was primarily focusing on my past. With coaching, the past may be touched upon, but its all about the present and my life that I am living! Kristal helps you to dig deep and be honest with yourself to assist you in identifying and then making changes to help you live your best life! Her expertise as a yogi is also instrumental paired with her coaching skills.
