​noun

woo
/wo͞o/

verb

to define, own, express and be appreciated for your unique and fascinating value

I've found that a sense of overwhelm, restlessness, lack of clarity or confidence, anxiety, discomfort and --often-- disease are usually a result of being out of alignment with your gifts, your values & your inner wisdom... that is, your YOU and your WOO"      --Kristin Halberg

​Hi. I'm Kristin. 

I believe I was put here on Earth to hold space for the part of you that yearns to unite your desire for belonging with your ache to be authentically you, and to help you define, own, express and be appreciated for the gifts you bring to the world.

If you found your way here, you are looking for something. 

Maybe you're:

• Striving to get the recognition you deserve at work, struggling with burn out, or to get help with the stress of a new job 
• Rebuilding your life after the loss of a loved one (including a beloved pet)
• Struggling in relationship
• Looking for clarity and direction
• Transitioning ... to an empty nest, a new career, or the need to accept a big change​
• ​Grappling with self belief, forgiveness, or letting go of an old story​
• Overwhelmed at all the injustice --and extinction-- on the planet (and don't know what to DO about it)
• A creative who has lost her spark

Whatever your struggle, I bet you've lost both your "you" and your "woo" ... at least a little.

​I can help.

But before we go further, true confession ... I don't really consider myself to be a "coach."

Wait. What?! ... Why?

Because ICF, who calls itself the gold standard of coach training, says --among other things-- that "coaches aren’t in the business of giving advice," and that "coaching solutions should be driven by the client."

​Now if you want to drive the whole direction of your coaching and pay good money to have someone simply elicit solutions from you, by all means go elsewhere.

That's not where my value lies.

And I don't think that's why you're here.

After all, if you knew the answers, and you weren't stuck, and you could elicit your own solutions, you wouldn't be looking for a coach at all. Am I right?

​So ... if I'm not a coach, what am I?

I am an Intuitive Transformation Guide with a back drop of science-geek, gifted with the ability to see patterns where others see chaos, particularly in complex systems and relationships ( ... perhaps like the inside of your mind?) 

I have over ten years of coaching, leadership consulting, team building and crisis intervention experience, as well as 20+ years of multi-industry and multi-division business leadership experience. My proven ability to deliver value in various roles in both large and small companies came from my ability to observe and adeptly assess what needed to change in people and systems, then nimbly produce solutions, unhindered by orthodox thinking. Eight years ago, I translated those skills into guiding women to identify their stuck points and co-create change in their lives.

One of the other things I'm most known for is attracting amazing, unique, loving, compassionate, authentic, brave, and inspiring women, and --if you decide to join me for a group event--beautiful friendships are formed by the time we wrap up and go our separate ways.

If you're still here, I'm sure you're one of us! 

​If you invite me in,  I would love to guide you to co-create a life that allows you to claim your true value, and live into the full expression of your beautiful soul.

Will you join me on a journey to rediscover what I call your Wild and Wise Heart, reclaim and revive your woo, and co-create your amazing life?

A bit more about me

​I am a curator of beauty and hope. I love whimsy and boho and magickal realism ... and psychological thrillers (as long as the bad guys get caught in the end.)​

​My spirit animals are spider and heron.

I'm a master of sitting with paradox, untangling complex ideas, and simplifying chaos ... including what goes on in your mind. People tell me I exude an atmosphere of welcoming calm. 

I'm an expressive artist and a nature lover, radically in love with this planet we call Earth, who believes that some of our best lessons come from this glorious example of the creative process.

I'm a loyal and steadfast Leo  ... who can lovingly laugh at herself ... and admit to being a little vain about my lion's mane. 

​I have an evolving manifesto, on life and living, and I believe strongly that women can change the culture on our planet through our influence on our families, our communities, our workplaces, the global market, and our planet. But defining, owning, expressing and learning how to share our unique "woo" in a way that it's received with value is a necessary step in this process. That's my why.

I live with my partner, Justin, in his family's ancestral Finnish log home on 20 acres just outside Olympic National Park.

I am an unabashed fur mama of two pups, Blue and Micky, and a beautiful, fiercely independent cat named Katniss who often shares my pillow and bites my head with her sharp feline teeth ... just because she can.

Finally, I'm quite close to my family of origin, and am an Auntie to 14 beautiful kiddos, 9 of whom live nearby.

I call what I do "Practical Magick."

prac·ti·cal
/ˈpraktək(ə)l/

adjective

" likely to succeed or be effective in real circumstances"

mag·i·ck
/ˈmajək(ə)l/

​noun

"the science and art of co-creating change through action and ritual;" "your own dinstinctive value," (ie: "woo")

I believe that our human desire for belonging, especially as women, combined with societal expectations and pressure to conform to norms, leads us to abandon our selves and therefore our woo, often without even realizing it. And then we suffer in some way from the results. Anxiety, depression, illness ... all these are symptoms of something deeper; and no amount of yoga, mani/pedis, massage, bubble baths or just-one-more-glass of wine can create the kind of well being that comes from believing you're of value just-as-you-are. 

Some tools I will teach you are scientifically proven, and they are effective, practical, and immediately applicable to your life. Others are based on magick and spirit and intuition ... and they will amaze us both as your life unfolds when you put them into practice.

​Along the way, I will hold space for your transformation, and guide you back to your Wild and Wise Heart. This is the part of you that understands you and your life like no other, who sees the patterns of your past and the potential of your best possible future, and knows how to nudge you, push you and guide you in just the right way to help you own your story, integrate your whole self, shine your light and make the best choices to fully belong yourself to your you and your woo and to the beautiful life unfolding around you.

​In her book, Daring Greatly, Brene Brown says:

"You either walk inside your story and own it, or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness... owning your story and loving yourself inside that process is the bravest thing you will ever do." 

Your story is just getting to the good part ... are you ready to be brave? Take the next step.
