Some Credentials & Certifications:
If You’re a Feminist or Witch Who’s had it Capitalism & Patriarchy…
…you’re in good company, and I welcome you.
There may be a number of reasons why you're here, but most likely, you feel disillusioned and stuck in a life that no longer resonates (or maybe never resonated). Maybe you're navigating a midlife or existential crisis. Maybe you are searching for your ever-elusive purpose. Or maybe you're burnt out from or angry AF at the exploitative and constant-crisis nature of our times. Regardless, know that if you feel drawn to what you're reading here—even if your situation falls outside of those I've described—I encourage you to explore my services.
WayfindING
1:1 Wayfinder Coaching is for feminist anti-capitalists who struggle to navigate the fuckery of these batshit crazy times and who yearn to thrive, to show up unapologetically as who they truly are, and to not compromise their values in the process. And it’s designed for the ‘square pegs’ who are done forcing themselves to conform to culture’s ‘round holes.’
SISTER CIRCLES
The magic of circling is hard to define. So here’s some love from a sister: "The community of women I found through this circle has helped me feel witnessed and safely held. I have felt my self-esteem grow after each circle. I feel more me than ever. Kristi is not only a wonderful facilitator, shie is a delightful, beautiful and totally badass human." —Madi R.
SELF-LED STUFF
Self-Led Stuff includes premium guides, masterclasses, and other useful things. These offers provide a great introduction to my work, and I encourage you to explore them whether or not you have an interest in working with me in an ongoing capacity. This is a growing body of work, with several projects in the pipeline. So be sure to check back!
The Pillars that Underly my Coaching Approach
MY APPROACH
01 | Inner GPS
Learn to recognize how your inner GPS communicates through your body and use this insight to inform your decisions.
02 | Integrity
Ensure your actions, choices, and thoughts align with what feels most freeing and true to your deepest self.
03 | Fierce Love
Owning you anger (or fury or rage) while allowing love to guide you is what I’m coining FIERCE LOVE, and it’s a profoundly empowering combination.
04 | Turtle Steps
Embrace small, low-resistance steps that compound over time, creating sustained momentum towards your greater vision.
05 | Rituals
Establish supportive rituals, spend time in nature, foster deeper community, and engage in practices that fill your cup.
I’m passionate about YOU living in integrity with who you truly are, beneath the layers of conditioning that have been assaulting you since the day you were born. The conditioning to conform, to do what family, culture, and oppressive systems expect. To pursue “The [Capitalist’s] Dream” at the expense of your own wellbeing and—quite possibly, at times—your sanity.
Why am I so passionate about YOU living in integrity with your truth, your North Star? Because when you do, you’re bound to radiate deep inner freedom, peace, and purpose…and you’ll inspire others to do the same…and it’s these ripple effects that are going to transform our world.

The process is simple: complete an inquiry.

If I believe that you would be a good fit for Wayfinder Coaching, I’ll email you an invitation to book a paid, Test Drive Wayfinder Coaching Session with me.
-
During our call, we’ll Wayfind.
This is a coaching call, not a sales call. After we’ve finished, we can spend a few minutes exploring the logistics of working together. But there’s never any pressure to do that.
FREE: Your Guide to Navigating Change
A Short, No-Frills Guide
The Wayfinder approach to navigating change is dependent on which phase of The Change Cycle you're in. This guide offers recommendations for moving through the different phases without dysregulating your system or (detrimentally) shortcutting the process. I use it in ‘the background’ when I work with clients, and so can you as you navigate change.

Before I enroll any prospective client, I require them to have had a coaching session with me so that they have experienced working with me first hand.
If you’ve already had a coaching experience with me, your inner GPS will know whether working with me at this point in time is aligned. [If you would like my help accessing it, we can schedule 20 minutes or so to do this.] But basically, what we’re looking for is whether enrolling at this point in time feels constrictive or expansive. A related consideration is whether you feel alive with the energy of possibility as a result of the coaching experience you had with me vs feeling uncertain or lethargic about the prospect of this stuff ‘actually working.’ In the end, it’s about listening to and honoring what your gut is telling you.
While I love the whole “If it’s not a ‘hell yes!’ it’s a no” mentality, I don’t always subscribe to it. For example, not many people have a budget for coaching, and the prospect of making this level of investment can be a bit nerve-wracking. I get it! In fact, I’ve been there nearly every time I’ve been in the client seat with my own coaches. Just sayin.
-
During our first session (the one after our initial session), we’re going to dive deep; we’re going get crystal clear on what you want to walk away from our coaching container with, and we’re going to make sure that it is in integrity with who you truly are. This might be something outwardly grand, like preparing to climb Mt. Everest. Or it may be something inwardly grand, like getting unstuck from the career rut you’ve been in for the past decade, living your life for YOU, etc.
Before our call you’ll complete an assignment and—depending on where you’re at—we may spend some time doing a visualization exercise. Whatever happens, it’s in service to us getting clear. You wouldn’t want to begin a road trip without some sense of where you want to go, and it’s the same with coaching.
-
Yes! Most of my coaching happens in a Zoom room, but old-school phone calls are my absolute fave. Seriously, unless you’re opposed to the latter, I encourage you to test-drive it at least once early on with me!
Note that I do occasionally coach local clients outdoors in the forest preserve near my home. This may be an option after our first session, should you be interested.

I don’t guarantee results—they are entirely dependent on how you show up, where you’re at in the change cycle, your willingness to follow your inner GPS, etc.. Nor do I use frameworks. What I do guarantee is to be, perhaps, more present with you than anyone ever has in your entire life. I guarantee to challenge you in ways that help you move forward. I guarantee to help you access your inner GPS and rely on it to make decisions that you don’t ever have to second-guess. And I guarantee to trust that YOU have all the answers within that you’ll ever need…and I guarantee to help you access them.
I can guarantee that if you truly embrace Wayfinding, your life WILL change. But know that it’s not a one-off deal; my hope is that you’ll make it a way of life because that’s where the deepest transformation lies.
While I won’t guarantee RESULTS, I will share real CHANGES that women I’ve coached (including myself) have experienced as the direct result of Wayfinding. Here are a few:
Bucket loads of confidence, despite a lifetime spent feeling deeply insecure.
Wild aliveness that comes from following the path you KNOW to be your soul’s calling for you.
Non-attachment to other’s anger or disappointment—especially those who have narcissistic tendencies and don’t respect your needs.
Inner freedom as the result of living in integrity with who you truly are in a capitalist, patriarchal, batshit crazy world that expects conformity.
Leaving a toxic job.
Deciding to start a family after years of indecision and therapy (as I type this, the gal’s latest IG post tells me that her baby ought to have popped out YESTERDAY!!).
Writing a book.
Hopefully that gives you a taste of what could be possible for you…
-
At the highest level, I help clients solve problems. Not by sharing my expertise—I’m neither a consultant nor a mentor (though there are times where I’ll don the mentor hat when permitted)—but by helping YOU access your own innate wisdom.
Part of what I do is to help you uncover your blind spots, which prevent you from seeing a path forward. I also share what I see holding you back, get a bit impassioned when it’s in service to you, and help you move through whatever muck you’re dealing with.
But basically, I’ll ask you questions that are designed to encourage insights. Sometimes we’ll play around with tools and visualizations and other fun things when appropriate.
And—most important—I’ll help you identify a path for moving forward. In the Wayfinder tradition, we do this via turtle steps.
-
Perhaps that the most significant difference between Wayfinder Coaching (aka Wayfinding) and other coaching approaches is that Wayfinding is focused on the client living in integrity with their true nature or—as my mentor Martha Beck calls it—their Essential Self. It’s an incredibly powerful approach to coaching!
So how do we know whether something is aligned? Well, our bodies are fantastic pieces of navigational equipment, and so we rely on them to guide us. Some clients can readily perceive physical shifts in sensations when something’s in/out of integrity for them, while others may rely on energetic tools like The Sway.
Beyond using the body as a compass, my approach is always in perpetual creative response to whatever is unfolding with my client. I don’t use frameworks, but I do have a hefty toolbox I’ll draw from when needed. For example, recognizing the thoughts and stories you replay in your mind that keep you playing small and challenging them through a process known as The Work. That’s just one of many tools I love to use! Metaphor, visualization, and a systems approach are a few others.
-
No! If you vibe enough with what you’ve encountered on my site to want to work with me, I encourage you to submit an inquiry. While the bulk of my clients use she/her pronouns, I’ve worked with some beautiful humans who’ve used he/him and they/them pronouns…and I’ve been repeatedly told that the space I hold for them is safe and allows them to be vulnerable with me.
-
Unless you have a strong preference for paying in full upfront—and maybe you do because you believe it will help hold you accountable to yourself—you will make monthly payments. I don’t offer any incentives for paying in full, as they penalize those who do not have wads of cash lying around.
You will make your first payment upon accepting my invitation to enter into a coach-client relationship, and I will ask you to set up monthly autopayment for the duration of our agreement.
