BEFORE…
I was a Type A, neurotic, pathologically planned out wife, mother, and business owner. I ran my life with militant precision. I was relentless.
I was relentless because all I could see was LACK in:
- My relationships (focusing on what was missing or “wrong”)
- My physical appearance
- My emotional state
- My parenting
- How others were (not) showing up for me
- My finances
I could not sit still, be by myself, let alone meditate! I was driven by fear and focused on the opinions of others as the barometer of whether I was “successful” or not. At the same time, I was ignoring a gnawing feeling that something inside of me was brewing and wanting to come out.
In a nutshell I was 80% stress, 20% content.
THE MIDDLE…
Throughout my 30’s and 40’s I worked tirelessly on my physical and emotional self. I focused healing 8 years of neck pain, a “scary” diagnosis, disordered eating, and chronic anxiety. But though I was “working hard” on these things, I still found myself repeating the same old patterns. It was driving me crazy!
Using a combination of energy healing, coaching, and nervous system regulation I released the habits of:
- Living on autopilot
- Greeting life with fists clenched and my foot on the gas
- Clipping my wings to keep everyone happy
- Silencing my voice in favor of keeping the peace
- Squashing my appetite for FREEDOM, EXPRESSION, and AUTHENTICITY
I realized while I thought I had been healing, what I had actually been doing was focusing on “fixing” me rather than “feeling” me. This was a revolution and changed the course of my healing.
Understanding I am responsible for my own well-being and owning that responsibility has given me the freedom to be more ME in every way.
This is how I show up for you. My super power is holding a safe and loving space so you discover for yourself WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU WANT TO BE.
AND NOW…
- My marriage is whole and evolving.
- I navigate my body’s “ups and downs” with calm and respect.
- I know how to regulate my nervous system and energy bodies.
- Curiosity (verses judgement) is my natural state of being.
- I am radically honest with myself (even when it’s uncomfortable).
- Most importantly I have learned how to ride the roller coaster of life without shutting down and freaking out.
This is my wish for you too. I hope you’ll join me in supporting YOU.

Kirsten Says…
As a born intuitive I have been professionally providing intuitive insight into health, relationships, and business challenges since 1998. Understanding the underlying patterns surrounding your personal challenges ensures that these struggles are released fully and deeply from the subconscious mind. As the patterns release, disruptive thought sequences are replaced with new healthy interplay between body and mind.
One of the unique aspects of my work is the ability to discern global patterns of the body/mind and relay this information to you so it makes sense. When you see how a thought or physical pattern has affected one area of your life it is easier to see where this same pattern may be repeating itself in other areas. This offers new insight and perspective creating a “ripple effect” of healing.
I have been married to my husband since 1991. We three have 3 adult children, one adorable dog, live in Portland, OR and love to vacation in the San Juan Islands in Washington State.
