I’m Krissy.

I’m a Life Coach.

I work with people’s conscious and unconscious mind in a way that rewires neural pathways. Yes, it’s as cool as it sounds!

My story is that I used to be an anxiety-ridden, overworking perfectionist. Combined with the high demand, high productivity work culture of modern society, I injured myself on the job. Not a single-event injury—but a slow, gradual trauma to my body.

I had to completely reorganize my life because I now live with chronic pain. I’m also a Highly Sensitive Person—I don’t thrive well in overstimulating environments that require me to adapt to long hours at a desk.

So I decided to become a Life Coach so I could help people at a pace that works with my nervous system.

Leaving my 9-5 job (with student loan debt from a degree I would no longer use) wasn’t on my bingo card. But, healing and inner work have always been my special interest, so I found a way to turn pain and suffering into gems.

I love teaching people how their nervous system drives their behavioral patterns and what to do about it. I’m all about deprogramming notions that poor self-discipline or lack of willpower are the reasons we fail to change ourselves.

I’m also certified to teach a flow movement called S Factor™—an embodiment practice for women that helps them get in touch with their bodies through slow, gentle movements. This practice has personally been very healing for me, as it forces me to slow down and be fully present in my body.

I lived in Japan twice and built a career as a university Study Abroad Advisor before turning into a Life Coach. 

My connection to Japan and its food runs so deep that I also work part-time at a Japanese restaurant. I love the satisfaction that comes from rushing around in a bustling setting—it complements the stillness of my home office.

I’m originally from Alabama, but I now live in Arcata, California with my partner and cat.

And I’m so glad you’re here!
