"As the founder and director of a small non-profit, I hit MAJOR burnout which created a lot of self-doubt and paralysis. Kris helped me define my questions and challenges and learn what I know already and do well in order to build my confidence. From there she helped me uncover solutions, both mental and practical. Kris has a way of reflecting back what is said in a way that creates an opening for greater understanding and inspiration for solutions."

​
Kris helped me unearth the alignment between my work, my values, and my purpose and develop tools to better navigate my own path. Through a combination of reflection exercises, courageous questions, and the energy leadership assessment, Kris and I were able to understand what drives me, what fears hold me back, and who I can be if I take ownership of my mentality.
Kris is warm, and that helped in making me feel comfortable sharing some of my deeper insecurities. She's also a great connector - finding relationships between things I reflected on from session to session. I appreciated her ability to filter details through a broader picture of who I am.
