Discovering the Wisdom in Your Story

Strengths-Based Therapeutic Support for Life’s Transitions

The Invitation: A Space for Possibility

Every life is a collection of stories. Sometimes, the heavier stories—of overwhelm, transition, or parenting challenges—can take up so much space that we lose sight of the vibrant, resilient versions of ourselves.

I am here to help you shine a light on what is already working, even in the smallest ways. My approach isn’t about “fixing” you, because you are not a problem to be solved. Instead, we work together to uncover your values, your strengths, and the “glimmering moments” of agency that point toward the future you want to create.

Our Collaborative Journey

Using the principles of Appreciative Inquiry and Narrative Therapy, I support women and mothers in navigating:

• The Beauty of Transition: Rediscovering your purpose as your children grow into young adults.

• Resilient Parenting: Finding creative ways to navigate shared-care arrangements and complex family dynamics.

• Empowered Agency: Reconnecting with your voice and values during times of change.

• Integrated Wellbeing: Harmonizing the mind and body to move from “surviving” to “thriving.”

A Holistic Approach to Your Growth

I believe that meaningful change happens when we honor both the mind and the heart. In our sessions, we can blend:

• Generative Dialogue: Asking the “powerful questions” that help you envision and design a life of purpose.

• Narrative Exploration: Deconstructing the stories that hold you back and making room for the stories that give you life.

• Reiki & Nervous System Support: Gentle energy work to ground the body and create a sense of peace, allowing your inner wisdom to emerge.

About Kristi

RISING with Purpose

“Separating the problem from the person to make room for the possible.”

As a Narrative Therapist, Appreciative Inquiry Facilitator, and Reiki Master, I believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you as we uncover the strengths and wisdom you already carry, but which may have been obscured by life’s heavier chapters.

I support women and mothers to meet challenges with greater agency and connection—both within themselves and in their wider communities. Whether you are navigating parenting transitions, shared-care arrangements, or a desire for deeper purpose, our work together is a collaborative discovery.

What to Expect in Our “RISING” Journeys: My approach blends compassionate therapeutic dialogue with the restorative power of Reiki and Advanced Mindscape practices. Together, we move beyond “fixing” and toward generating:

• Discovering Resources: Identifying the inner and outer tools you already possess to navigate life with ease.

• Aligning with Values: Ensuring your path forward feels energizing, sustainable, and true to who you are.

• Emodied Wisdom: Integrating practical skills and grounding practices that you can take directly into your daily life and relationships.

My priority is to foster your awareness and confidence in your own inner knowing. When we strengthen our individual sense of agency, we naturally ripple that vitality out into our families and the world around us.
