"Kristin is an intuitive guide and bridge to love that leads you back to yourself for inner healing so it is possible to hold more joy. "

Ahhhh, hurray - you've found me!! I'm delighted to welcome you to this site, and share a bit more about myself with you.  If you are looking for a masterful guide for gentle and powerful transformation, spiritual evolution and ecstatic living, I might just be the person you've been looking for! I love helping people experience WILDER INTIMACY and LIVE and LOVE DIFFERENTLY... in all areas of life. I utilize skills and intuition to help people break through barriers, and my greatest joy is seeing my client's "a-ha!" breakthrough moments. I believe in the power of connection and community, and that true change requires courage, consistency, and compassion. 

I've coached for 17 years: first as a birth doula, standing at women's sides and holding their hands as they birth new life... as an Oola Life Coach, helping people live differently by finding balance in the 7 key areas of life, as an Advisory Coach, mentoring over 1,000 coaches in training, as a Mindset & Hypnotherapy coach, and as a Sex andIintimacy coach with the Erotic Blueprints, developed by Jaiya Ma. 

I "doula" people every day; standing with and walking beside people through conceiving new ideas, holding them through contractions, portals of transition and birthing and nurturing new ways of living (sometimes it's literally actually newborn babes; other times it's big changes in life like healing an injury, creating a new paradigm, navigating a breakup, creating a new relationship, or an erotic renaissance.

My own lived experience of healing from religious trauma and purity culture, rebuilding life after divorce, complex PTSD, brain injury, post-concussive syndrome and more, gives me a deep capacity for empathy and understanding. I am a grateful member of Al Anon, 10 years into recovery from codependent relationships and chronic over-giving.

 I live in the gorgeous high-desert of Bend, Oregon, and am devoted to my Warrior Sage husband Eric and our three teenage children. I have a deep and abiding affection for snickerdoodle cookies, fresh flowers, heavy metal, and the smell of a well-written 
book. 

My personal stories of releasing unhealthy relationships and finding peace and faith on the other side of toxic religion have been featured in two books, including The International New York Times bestseller, “Oola for Women.”  

More of my personal stories related to each Coaching Speciality are on my 1:1 Services Pages.

I aspire to live barefoot and braless, walk a prayer labyrinth every morning, and raise honeybees in a meadow.

  • Transmission - of love, healing, life force energy & and luscious liberation
  • Conduit - sometimes things come out of my mouth that I have never heard before and can't repeat again - they intuitively flow through me, for you... so soak it up, take what serves you and leave the rest

A sneak-peek of what you'll experience with me:

  • A micro-business (I handle every part of my business, and I like it that way)
  • My full focus every time we meet
  • A foundation of empathy, safety, and nervous system co-regulation. 
  • 90-minute sessions - 3 hour deep dives or weekend immersions
  • Customized coaching based that compliments your learning style, 4 Tendencies, and even Human Design and Enneagram type.
  • Accountability for your commitments and practical implementation of our work between sessions (your results depend on you)
  • A non-linear & intuitive path (some of my programs do have modules or frameworks - however, we will linger, skip ahead, and move around if needed for YOUR particular situation, and I'll always augment with additional tools, resources, and somatic embodiment practices that are curated specifically for you.

What will definitely not happen:

  • Me looking at my watch at 55 minutes or kicking you out mid-sentence
  • Insurance billing
  • Medical advice (I do collaborate with amazing experts I can refer you to!)
  • A fancy-tech, slick automation, high overhead business with bells & whistles (I think that's rad, and also totally isn't my gift nor my desire)
  • Heavy-duty homework or journaling (unless you ask for it ;))
  • Me putting my personal beliefs or ethics on you
  • Enabling, rescuing, or letting you get away with unethical, addictive, or self-sabotaging patterns
  • Perpetuating Drama Triangle stories  ('victim, villain, hero' trap)
  • A 24/7 on-call crisis line (that's for RAINN, the actual crisis & stabilization centers, & 911 dispatchers)
