Private Coaching
Client Testimonials
“I have worked with therapists in the past and still clung to the same harmful thoughts and behaviors about my body and myself generally, so I was unsure if coaching would provide me a different pathway toward the body acceptance that I was craving. Since working with Kristina, I have noticed an overall sense of peace toward my body. By learning to recognize and challenge anxious and unhelpful beliefs about my body, I am less reactive when I have negative body thoughts and can approach them with curiosity and kindness rather than urgency and panic. Kristina helped me to uncover a deep sense of intuition and truth within myself. My coaching experience helped me to start to trust my inner knowing and become anchored in what feels true for me.”

“Doing private coaching with Kristina helped me to learn to trust myself more. She created a safe structure for each session that helped me to feel grounded and prepared me for the challenge of being vulnerable. Somewhere along the way I lost touch with feelings, and I’m now learning to bring this part of myself back into my life. I now place importance on what my values are, and am less reactive to situations where I used to jump straight to “people pleasing”. I would recommend coaching with Kristina to anyone regardless if your needs have to do with body acceptance or not. It’s a real journey into regaining what you’ve lost and the power and benefits of being present.”

“I’ve done tons of therapy before and still felt low about myself and my body, so I wasn’t sure if coaching would be truly beneficial for me. But after working with Kristina I have more confidence than I did before. The sessions were a judgment-free outlet for me to express how I felt about my body, and share things I had felt embarrassed to talk with others about. After being weight-focused my entire life my mindset is slowly moving away from constantly worrying about the scale or how big I may look. I’ve come away with tonnes insight on how I view myself and my body. I would recommend the coaching with Kristina to others.”
— Ashley H., California
“I came to Kristina experiencing a lot of anxiety throughout my day. I had been in therapy for 6 years but only noticed changes around the edges. After working with Kristina I feel less anxiety overall, and am more present and in-tune with myself. I still experience anxiety, but I now have the skills for it not to take over my life. I used to spend my time thinking about what other people thought of me, but I am now able to let go of needing to be liked - this has helped me tremendously.”
— Lane L., Minnesota
“I signed up for Kristina’s 3-month coaching package because I knew it was time to get my negative self-talk under control and I needed help to do so. Since working with her, more space and lightness has opened up in my physical world after clearing out that pent up mental clutter. I now have the tools to stop it from getting to that point again. I am more gentle with myself and less harsh. It’s much easier to stop the shame spiral now. It wasn't fun to confront some of these things to be honest, but I liked that I could see progress in my real life. I definitely recommend coaching with Kristina.”
— Liz M., World Traveler
“I was hesitant to start body acceptance coaching because I knew I would need to dig deep, and I was also hesitant to spend money on myself, but I’m so grateful I found Kristina. Her sessions are invaluable and her style is gentle, non-shaming, and extremely effective. She explains things in a way that really makes sense and stays with me. Through my sessions with Kristina I have learned that, opposite of what our culture tells us, my 50+ body is supposed to change and is not meant to look as it did when I was a teen, in my 30s or even 40s. I am gaining a better appreciation and patience for where my body is at this chapter of life. I would 100% recommend coaching with Kristina.”
— Jen F., Connecticut
“I’m grateful that I took the plunge and worked with Kristina. I feel more at peace with my body and self image than I’ve ever felt before. Kristina has a very empowering approach to her coaching and I learned many helpful tools to continue my journey in self acceptance. I’d tell anyone considering the program that they are worth the time and money invested, because ultimately, all the time and money spent on changing our bodies is a never ending pattern, but this coaching helped me to be kinder and more peaceful with my approach to my body and image.”
— Katie K., Atlanta GA
“I’ve spent a lifetime struggling with my body and my weight, and was worried I was too far into it to be “talked out of it”. But Kristina expertly guided me with incredible knowledge, intelligence, and compassion. To be quite honest, I’m still shocked that my thinking and feelings about my body and food have been able to change so very much in such a short amount of time. Kristina used my own insights and experiences to make everything clear and concrete for me, and gave me specific tools I could use to make sure these new insights became part of my everyday life. Her coaching has been incredibly freeing, and entirely life-changing; for the first time since I was very small, I feel at home in my body.”
— Samantha, Germany
“After working together with Kristina for multiple sessions I am not as anxious around food or when I look in the mirror. When I hear judgemental voices come up now I know how to handle them. I loved being able to talk to Kristina about what I was seeing and then to hear how she saw things which expanded how I saw my circumstances and the world. I appreciated so much having someone I could talk to who was a guide for me to feel more peaceful and content inside myself.”
— Llesle, California
“Having struggled with an eating disorder for many years, I was hesitant to start working with a new recovery coach. I felt shame for my struggles, and was afraid to surrender the rituals and beliefs I held even though I knew they were holding me back. But I decided to work with Kristina and I would absolutely recommend her! She was kind and supportive yet still firm, pushing me to grow. Her support between sessions was very generous, and I appreciated her great listening skills and sense of humour. I came away from our time together with a new appreciation for how my inner wisdom and body are innately connected. I developed the skill to see and question the beliefs that cause me stress, enabling me to seek a kinder way to be and speak with myself. The tools taught and practiced in the sessions on a regular basis have had noticeably positive results. I am slowly reconnecting with my body, learning to communicate with it and trust its cues. I really owe so much of my recovery and growth to Kristina's guidance, and I’m so grateful.”
— Alison E., Vancouver, Canada
“After working with Kristina I feel like I have more space between “me” and my thoughts about my body. I like that the sessions were a mix of both regular coaching, exercises, and meditations depending how my state of mind was on the given day. I also found it very meaningful that the aim of the coaching was for me to understand that my negative thoughts about my body weren’t my personal thoughts, but society’s conditioning, and that happiness doesn’t depend on me having a smaller body. Kristina in a very patient way guided me back to my true nature. The level of support both in the coaching sessions and in-between sessions was so helpful. I definitely would recommend coaching with Kristina.”
