– and I believe doing all of the things you can't stop thinking about leads to your intentional life.
Hey there, I'm Kristen
Over a decade ago, during my yoga teacher training, I was in warrior two when my instructor said, “Notice your thoughts in this pose.”
I had never considered that before. I assumed my thoughts just happened — the mental noise, the stress spirals, the constant feeling of being behind.
But that single observation unlocked something:
I could choose what I thought about myself and my life.
I became curious about how we experience our own lives — our patterns, our reactions, the stories we carry. I dove into books, podcasts, training, and eventually coaching work.
A life that feels good to you.
Not a life built around expectations or keeping everyone else afloat while you're drowning.
A life that feels genuinely, specifically yours because you know what you want and you're out there living it.
That belief didn’t come from theory.
It came from experience.
I learned to tell myself the truth first.
To rest without earning it.
To act from clarity instead of urgency.
And when that internal shift happened, life followed — intentionally.
That's the work I now help you do.
Through 1:1 coaching and my year-long program, Your Intentional Year, I guide you in reconnecting to what you want, making confident decisions, and taking action to build a life that reflects it.
Overwhelm wasn't my problem. It was information. It was showing me where I was living from obligation instead of intention.
Overwhelmed.
Running late to everything.
Pouring a glass of wine to "relax" in the evenings.
I was proving my worth through productivity.
Saying yes while wishing I had the courage to say no.
Not asking for help because "I can do it all."
And resenting people because of it.
My life looked fine from the outside.
nomadic adventure memories
In 2023, I sold nearly all of my things and took off on a nomadic adventure across the United States for about four months, visiting many National Parks along the way.
After those few months of travel, I wanted to settle for a bit. I chose Montana to see if I could handle a northern winter – southern girl here – and I can now officially say I lived in Montana for almost two years.
These days, I’ve traded mountains for the Gulf Coast — where I recharge with salt air, white sand, and clear water.
To me, intentional living means choosing how you experience this one beautiful life.
A little more about me professionally
And personally
I've spent the last eight years coaching women 1:1 and in groups, including four years of business coaching for yoga and pilates teachers and studio owners. Before that, I spent years in the wellness industry — first as a yoga teacher, then as a licensed massage therapist.
Session after session, I'd listen to people talk about their lives and quickly realized that mindset work could make a huge difference, as it had for me. That's what led me to my first coaching certification.
I've since added a second coaching certification, a Human Design certification, and a Neurosomatic Intelligence certification. Understanding my clients from a holistic perspective — their mindset, their belief systems, their unique personalities, and their nervous systems — gives me a well-rounded picture of how to best guide them.
I also spent three years as Director of Customer Support for a multi-million dollar coaching company, so I know this industry from a lot of angles.
My background before all of this is a little unexpected. I have a BFA in fabric design and founded a textile company specializing in hand-dyed textiles for weddings and events. Creativity has always been part of how I think.
That's what I'm still practicing, right alongside you.
