Somatic Transformation

For Chronic Illness, Pain, and Stress

Kristina

My name is Kristina and I’m here to support you while you transform and thrive.

Somatic coaching guides you through a transformational process of connecting with what matters most to you, focusing your energy and attention toward your goals, and increasing your resilience for managing life stressors. Learn to take new actions aligned with your values and goals even under the same old pressures.

I specialize in working with people experiencing chronic stress, illnesses, and health conditions. My practice is especially affirming of queer and trans people.

  • “I joined one of Kristinaʻs groups for people experiencing chronic pain/illness for the first time in 2021 and have taken part in 6 groups total since then. The tools I have learned from Kristina have shifted my relationship with my chronic illnesses away from a predominant orientation of despair, hopelessness, and alienation to aliveness, a deep rooted practice of hope, and a profound sense of belonging. I am better at knowing and upholding boundaries which has helped me shift from constantly over-extending to being in right relationship with myself and, as an extension, others. This has quite literally been life saving and life changing.”

  • “Kristina is a wise, gentle soul who creates safe yet powerful spaces. Before I worked with her, I felt I had no purpose in life. Her teaching helped me define what’s important to me, and now I have more clarity within a world that’s filled with noisy distractions. Kristina believes in the dignity of each person and that conviction comes through in her personalized teaching style. Since being part of her groups, I feel more connected to my body, and my mental health has improved. Kristina’s work is an essential element in the fight for collective liberation.”

Nervous System Regulation Course

Build a deeper connection with you body and emotions, becoming more open, present, and connected. Build awareness of how your body responds to stress, including chronic and traumatic stress, as well as how your body responds to connection, fun, and safety.

Kristina

In 2016, my life changed dramatically when I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, upending my career in leadership development with LGBTQ communities. Through a lot of support and soul searching, I developed social connections with other people managing chronic illness, new hobbies and ways of having fun that enhanced my health, and ways to find meaning and joy even in difficult circumstances. I believe in the innate capacity of all people to build resilience, heal, and thrive, even amidst great suffering. 

My Somatic Coaching practice is designed to guide you through a process of transformation and growth in connecting with your purpose, fulfilling on your goals, and developing practices to help you.
