Does your 2am Google or ChatGPT search history look a little like this?
“Why do I shut down in conflict?”
“How to stop feeling numb but anxious?”
“What the fck is nervous system regulation?”*
That was a me few years ago, spiraling through search tabs and self-help accounts, trying to explain why I felt so disconnected from my own life.
I wasn’t “failing.” I was just in survival mode. But at the time, I didn’t have that language.
I used to believe exhaustion was just a
side effect of ambition.
That snapping at my partner or ghosting my friends meant I was overwhelmed not dysregulated. I was working out, getting shit done, showing up… but inside, I felt like I was disappearing.
Silence made me uncomfortable.
I filled every spare moment with noise…Netflix, to-do lists, doomscrolling.
I’d push until I crashed. Then beat myself up for not being “resilient enough.”
I didn’t realize it then, but I was stuck in functional freeze.
Looking back, it wasn’t that I didn’t care. I cared too much. About everything.
And I had no idea how to come back to myself in the middle of it all..
Now, as a somatic life coach, I support women who live in high gear…the caregivers, the achievers, the deeply feeling ones who’ve learned to numb.
The ones who’ve been told rest is earned.
The ones who are quick to help but slow to ask for it.
The ones who crave softness, but don’t feel safe slowing down.
Through 1:1 coaching, group work, and nervous system regulation tools, I help you:
Get clear on your body’s signals and what they’re actually trying to say
Understand your unique survival patterns (fight, flight, freeze, fawn)
Build capacity for rest, pleasure, and boundaries
Trust yourself again…yes like, really
Feel safe in your life instead of performing it
Because once you learn the language of your body, everything changes…
The first time I slowed down long enough to feel what was happening inside my body, I cried. Not because I was sad but because I realized I hadn’t been present in my body in years.
That moment changed everythingggggggg.
Through nervous system education, somatic coaching, and a whole lot of imperfect integration, I started learning what it meant to truly be with myself.
I started recognizing the cues of stress before I hit burnout.
I learned how to resource myself not just to cope, but to live.
And slowly, I rebuilt a relationship with my body that felt safe, clear, and alive.
So if you’re here wondering…
“Why do I keep burning out?”
“Why does rest feel uncomfortable?”
“Why can’t I just get my sh*t together even though I know what to do?”
This work is here to bring you back to the version of you that was never broken.. just tired, and waiting to be listened to.
Life Beyond the Resume
(because connection > credentials)
The travel bug bit me at just six months old and have visited 17+ countries since.
I am trying (and failing) to keep succulents alive. Apparently I provide worse conditions than a desert.
I speak French (it's a little rusty), stop to pet every dog I see, and ask “what’s the plan?” at least three times per outing.
Nature is my home. You’ll find me hiking, paddle boarding, biking, or mooching cottage stays with friends whenever I can.
I love shopping local and can absolutely tell you the best place to buy X, Y or Z in town.
My only true non-negotiable? My daily writing practice. Done before I check my phone in the mornings.
If you’ve ever read one of my posts and thought “Kristine, what did you just say??”…
Here’s your mini glossary of the words I use most often and what they actually mean around here:
somatics
Body-first work that helps you feel, process, and integrate experiences through your nervous system, not just your mind.
embodiment
Not just knowing something but feeling it, living it, breathing it. Like, your values? Embodiment is walking them, not just talking them.
body-based tools
Tools like breathwork, movement, visualization, and somatic awareness that help you regulate emotions and reconnect with your body.
inner safety
That grounded feeling in your body that says: You’re safe now. You don’t have to hustle for love, validation, or worth.
wisdom
The inner voice that’s been there all along. Beneath the noise, beneath the shoulds. It’s not about learning more. It’s about listening.
The latest conversations…
TL;DR:
I help women like you regulate their nervous system, reconnect with their body’s wisdom, and reclaim their softness, power, and voice.
So you can stop white-knuckling your life and start living one that feels deeply aligned.
