    In Other Words

    Some analogies to help describe what Kristina does...

    Whatever is out of whack in your personal or professional life, Kristina can put back in alignment .

    Surgeon/Strong Medicine

    Kristina “diagnoses” where you're stuck and provides a "prescription" for what's ailing you, or uses an "x-ray" to get to the root of your blocks and bring them to light by digging them out and re-framing if necessary.

    Kristina reflects back to you things you already know about yourself, and affirms what you truly desire.

  • TESTIMONIALS

    I've coached hundreds of men and women from every age, background and industry over the past 15+ years and find it's easier to let some of my past clients describe how you can benefit from my support and guidance in your career and life:

     

    "If you're looking for some compassionate candor and a dose of tough love, Kristina is the coach for you. She really takes the time to get to know you, ask good questions, and guide you based on your values, not just what might look good on paper. Her style is very holistic, so she brings a lot of value by being able to challenge some of your assumptions about yourself and push you to pursue your career goals from an angle you may have not considered previously. I came into this really lacking clarity and walked away with a sense of relief. Can't recommend her enough." ~ Kevin R., HR and Veteran

    Megan

    Legal Services

    What she helped me realize was that the skills I'd developed in my previous jobs - which I felt were totally unrelated - actually complemented each other in ways I'd never thought of on my own. She helped me understand how my experiences related to each other and could integrate into the bigger picture of a career.

    International Development

    Kristina has an uncanny capacity of listening to your story and understanding your issue. I thought that my case was too unique and unusual and that it would take months of counselling to get a coach to understand my issues, but Kristina managed to get it in a 90 minute session - really impressive! She quickly picked up on the important bits and suggested a path forward that was refreshing and felt right.

    Kristina is excellent at what she does, she is very natural and has an easy-going approach which produces amazing results. Kristina helped me immensely at a turning point in my life and career. Her insightful questions and comments helped me make important life-changing decisions. The coaching session with Kristina, in particular the first essential self consultation, is one of the most important conversations I have ever had.

    Marketing & Advertising

    Kristina patiently helped me to discover and embrace my true north. I was stuck in a past identity that blocked me from the person I wanted to become. I recommend her to everyone ready and willing to make lasting and holistic changes toward their true passions...I felt enlivened, and like a new person after our conversation, her detailed action steps ensured that I would achieve anything I want.

    Digital Production

    After a stressful move, a seemingly endless job hunt, and a reassessment of what I really wanted to do with my career, one call with Kristina was all it took to help get myself back on track. Her guidance and support that followed as I made the confusing and stressful transition from post-college to the "real world" was very much appreciated, too.

    Jason

    Project Management

    Kristina really does have this holistic approach to it and tries to capture your life's context and understand the big picture. From there she was able to break it down for me and unveil to me what's been going on. She was able to offer me another perspective and frame to work with that I would not have thought of myself. And from there I felt very empowered and have been able to achieve a lot within just a month!

    Since I last spoke with you, I've had some pretty dramatic changes - New Job, a Big Move, Healthy Dating Relationship. It's been pretty awesome. Emotionally, I've done a 180, and my life is certainly a reflection of that. My last session with you spurred a lot of wonderful life changes

    Real Estate

    I gained valuable tools and productive habits from this experience. More importantly, I gained CLARITY as a result of "doing the work" that Kristina recommended. She was easy to talk to (down-to-earth), encouraging and intuitive. She did a great job at helping me identify which obstacles stood in the way, what needed shifting, what didn't, and how to "get to the core" or the root of the problem

    Kristina is an amazing coach and mentor...I’m always impressed by her intuitive nature, creative ideas, and insight to tap into the core. She is tremendously gifted and has the ability to unblock obstacles that perhaps we didn’t even know existed, as it’s sometimes most challenging to see situations clearly when you’re immersed in them.

    Kristina helped me see clarity, which to this day, I still use and feel comforted by. I read the books she recommended and listened to her advice about not giving up and finding creative ways to fulfill my destiny. It's an understatement to say she has affected me in a positive way. After her consultation seven months later, with the help of her healing, I even ran another marathon and started a new promising career.

    Sales & Marketing

    She is incredibly perceptive, experienced and very quickly is able to access the deeper stuff. One of her skills is that get the chance to see yourself through Kristina's eyes, and in that way, you can see your gifts and talents in a way that doesn't feel ego-centered; talking with Kristina gave me a whole new perspective of myself as a professional and the unique offerings I have to share with the world... I have NEVER felt the kind of authentic confidence and empowerment as I have since our last session.
