Realistic stress reduction that actually works

Your brain can be your best friend or your worst enemy.

It can tell you things like “Nothing I do is good enough.” Or, “I’ll finally be happy when…”

The way you think and talk about yourself matters. Identifying these mental worst enemies, inner critics, or saboteurs, is crucial to effectively and sustainably reducing stress.

Take the 3-minute assessment to discover your strongest inner critics and learn how they’re causing you stress.

Hi, I’m Kristen and I’m here to help.

You know you need to manage your stress to be your healthiest and happiest, but stress reduction feels impossible. It feels like you’d have to ignore the world, retreat for long periods of time to meditate, quit your job, or have a conflict-free life.

With my stress reduction program, I’ve helped educators, helping professionals, new parents, and many others reduce their stress without ignoring the world, meditating for hours, quitting their jobs, or requiring perfect lives. With the techniques they’ve learned, they’ve improved their health, happiness, relationships, and advanced their careers.

It’s realistic stress reduction that actually works. It will work for you too.

Before Coaching

You find yourself lying in bed at night, replaying situations in your head and dwelling on what you should have done differently.

After Coaching

You know how to quiet the thoughts that don’t serve you, and you reclaim your sleep.

Before Coaching

You feel bad saying no. You’re overbooked, overworked, and maybe a little resentful of all the demands on your time.

After Coaching

Your time reflects your priorities. You’ve found balance and time to breathe.

Before Coaching

Your life/career is dedicated to serving others. Years of neglecting yourself have taken its toll. You feel burned out, and you’ve lost the spark you used to have for your work.

After Coaching

You’ve learned how to prioritize what matters most. You have the tools you need to deal with life’s difficult moments, and you have a long-term vision for yourself. You’re regaining your spark, and you surf the waves of challenges instead of drowning in them.

Before Coaching

You’ve learned a lot in therapy and have worked through a lot. But you feel unsure of how to apply what you’ve learned in a practical way.

After Coaching

With your coach, you have developed realistic and actionable steps to move your life in the direction you want to go. You’re seeing positive results as you follow your plan.
