about me

I’m Coach Kristi, and I work with clients who want to rediscover their enthusiasm and live a life of purpose. Many of my clients are high achievers, and feel a strong desire to engage in their lives and careers whole-heartedly. They want to find flow in their lives, better balance, more meaning, or greater impact through careers they believe in and feel called to.

If you are in the middle of big transition, leading a team, shifting to a new career or role, newly parenting, or newly empty nesting, an experienced coach can help you to get back “in the zone” more quickly.

  • These two words don’t seem like enough, Kristi, but THANK YOU for preparing me for this process. I gained so much insight and confidence from our sessions that I know I will carry with me for years to come. You helped me identify my values and the career direction that I want after teaching, and you gave me the tools to pursue it. I cannot believe where I stand today. I believe God had His hand in this from the start– from the moment we were matched– and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the ways you are using your God-given gifts to serve people like me.
