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 “enough” 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’s Professional Bio
Click to view
Kirsten is a leader, guide, and mentor for those ready to live personal self-mastery.
Her life is devoted to wholeness, sovereignty, and the unwavering trust she has in herself and YOU. She walks with Rising New Humans; leaders, sensitives, and change-makers who feel the call to embody more of who they truly are and to contribute to collective ascension by changing the way they live, decide, and love.
As a Grand Master Teacher and Facilitator of Acasma Quantum Energy, Kirsten bridges the mystical and the practical with lived, daily integration. She honors and works with star systems and soul lineages of her clients as they too contribute to the alignment of wholeness.
Her own path has taken her from living on stress and approval-seeking to moving through life with presence and trust. She released patterns that kept her small—autopilot living, silencing her voice, and dimming her light to keep others comfortable. She stopped trying to fix herself and started trusting herself.
Kirsten is not here to convince anyone. She meets each person as they are, mirroring the Self rising. In her world, the Rising New Human is a lived reality. A reality that honors creation over repetition, peace over protection, and self-trust over doubt.
Kirsten Says…
I was born intuitive but didn’t know it or understand it. But once I did, I never looked back.
Since 1998, I’ve been providing direct insight and healing to help my clients see the patterns that shape their lives and guiding them into lasting change.
I read the field of you like its never been read; from the lens of what is right. I see the threads (mental, emotional, and physical) that weave through your experiences, and I know how to assist you in releasing what no longer serves you and begin living in alignment with what you actaully want. As you do this the old struggle dissolves. Your mind, body, and life find a new, healthy rhythm of optimal alignment.
One of the most powerful aspects of my work is translating what I see so you can understand it. I show you how a single pattern might be running through multiple areas of your life so you can finally see the full picture. This shift in awareness creates a ripple effect: your perspective changes, your energy resets, and your choices become clearer and more empowered.
I’ve been married since 1991, with three incredible adult children and one adorable dog. We live in Portland, Oregon, and often recharge in the wild beauty of the San Juan Islands in Washington State.
