About Kristi

Hi and welcome.  While coaches and consultants generally prefer to hear from our clients rather than tell you about us, it can be helpful to have a sense of who’s on the other side of the flip chart, so here goes…

I’m an East-coast/West-coast denizen with a few years of time in the South and the Midwest, and who's  been laying my pillow in the mountains of Montana since 2011. 

A mother of two growing-up-way-too-fast girls, I spent 18 years devoted to frontline environmental and social justice work as a senior leader at an international organization. During those inspiring and exhausting days, I cut my teeth on organizational development, facilitation, supervision, public speaking, and building bridges from conflict to collaboration. 

While my passion will never dissipate for that work, along the line, my theory of change evolved: a feeling inside of me grew so strong that I could no longer ignore it. Beckoning my attention was the conviction that in order to create a thriving future for us all, we must start in our most intimate relationships, specifically the one each of us has with ourselves. 

Queue a winding journey as I quested to fulfill this clear calling. Thincluded a little more takeout for my family than I’d care to admit, and the gift of teachers who imparted far more wisdom and love than seems possible. Today, I am a certified professional coach with the International Coaching Federation and more than 750 hours of coaching experience. I also hold an executive certificate in non-profit management from the Harvard Business School, as well as  certificates in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion from Cornell University and in embodied social justice. 

Why this long journey? My time on the frontline brought crystalline clarity to the notion that healing our relationships with ourselves is required work if we’re to heal our relationships with each other and the world around us. Full stop. Nourishing purpose and joy, along with creating powerful antidotes to self-doubt, overwhelm, and the nearly universal human experience of feeling like an imposter in our own lives is a great place to start. It’s not always easy, but neither is sitting in the knowing that we’re leaving part of our potential on the table. 

You identify the goals, I tap into my thousands hours of coaching and training experience, along with training in mindfulness and embodiment, and together we support you to claim You beyond your wildest dreams.
