hello dear one,
I’m Kristi ~ Welcome to my online portal!
I am here to share ways in which we can fully express our highest selves by harnessing the healing intelligence of our bodies to step into who we really are…
I am an artist & musician who stepped into the healing arts “by accident” while fumbling through my own healing journey. I have since helped hundreds of artists around the world heal their relationships with their bodies & claim their full self-expression!
I offer individual & couples healing somatic counseling sessions, and teach KRIA METHOD— transformative & healing movement courses that I’ve developed & honed over the past decade. I always have NEW projects in development— STAY TUNED!
Take a look around my site and get in touch by leaving your email , sending a message, or applying to work with me ~ I would love to hear from you.
Thank you for being here!
love, kristi
my why
“To assist in the awakening within the collective to the sacred intelligence of the body, by helping individuals heal their relationship with their own body, thus becoming their own healers in the process. I strive to serve the body temple and honor it’s the sacred place as a wisdom-keeper. My vision is for ALL bodies— nations, creeds, colors, genders, species, and the Earth body herself— to be restored to their innate divine sovereignty & wholeness.”
move. feel. heal.
love from clients:
“I have been meeting with Kristi for a month and the results are life-changing! Mentally, emotionally, spiritually and manifested in major shifts and breakthroughs on all levels. I cannot recommend her more highly for anyone looking to level up in their career, their joy, and have ah-ha moment after ah-ha moment.”
“If you feel disconnected from yourself, this is the class for you to get in touch with who you really are. Not who you just think you are. Getting into your body is the quickest way to find your true self. And this class is the Masterclass of that. ”
“Kristi is a giving, sensitive and tough teacher! She’s just a real person, she knows exactly how much to push and when to ease up. I owe this girl for life.”
“Time with Kristi is always worth it. ”
“Kristi is amazing! Still in awe over yesterday’s Movement Class... This class was so much more than just movement and dance. So many releases happened, in-depth exploration of ourselves as people and as artists... I am so inspired! WOW. How good it feels to be in your body instead of your mind. To completely shut it off and give yourself permission to be free; to dance with anger, with passion, love and fragility without fear that your expression is any less than or more than someone else’s... I’m ready for more!”
“I’m so grateful for Kristi and her daily movement classes! Sometimes these classes are the only thing that gets me through the day...the class today was so healing and necessary, and I’m so grateful to get my movement class on the daily (online) now!”
My Story
After my first 15 years working as an actress, dancer and musician in the LA entertainment industry, life took an unexpected but welcome turn towards teaching. After being offered a Movement Teacher position at Jocelyn Jones Acting Studio & then at Anthony Meindl Actor Workshop, I began to fall in love with helping actors become more embodied.
Another twist in my journey arrived as a series of health struggles, which initiated a path of healing that felt more like divine intervention— a wake-up call from my “hustle’ lifestyle into a more balanced, self-loving & embodied one.
It was during this time of healing that I followed my intuition to Lionheart Institute and then Healer’s Forum and became certified as an Energy Healer (TEH) & Transpersonal Energy Healing Counselor (TEHC.) I then moved on to get my certificate in Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies. After a decade of teaching Movement— including choreographing dozens of live flash mobs, teaching hundreds of month-long movement intensives, and instructing over a thousand students— I was truly in love with helping people heal, honor & listen to their wise bodies.
I am blessed to hold space for people like you to harness the magnificent healing wisdom of their bodies. I love this work and I’m so happy you found me!
