Coaching Philosophy

 

While coaching can be practical and focused, Kristina believes coaching can also be magical, transformative, and uplifting. Kristina comfortably walks with clients between these paradigms to help them create sustainable purpose, foster inner wisdom, inspire self-awareness, celebrate achieved success, and support conscious action. Where Kristina goes, the potential is tapped and maximized to get results. 

 

"You bring desire, openness, and purpose, and I walk with you in the gap between where you are now and where you see yourself," says Kristina. "Together, we build a relationship where we each show up fully present. We celebrate your discoveries, insights, and wins as you safely explore your concerns, limited thoughts, and what is holding you back in your career and life. From this safe space, I challenge you to share your best self with the world because I believe in you."
