About Me
Hi, I’m Kristin.
I’m a coach, a truth-teller, and someone who’s always had a knack for seeing the thing under the thing.
I work with thoughtful, intuitive people. They’re no strangers to inner work, they’ve read the books, named their patterns... and might still feel like something’s missing, stuck, or unspoken.
Coaching with me isn’t about advice or performance.
It’s not a pep talk, a fix, or a plan.
It’s a space to lovingly tend to the parts of yourself that long to be known and seen.
A space where something real shifts. Not because I tell you what to do, but because something in you finally gets heard.
My Coaching Background
I’m an ICF-certified coach, trained and assessed to meet the highest standards in ethics, skill, and presence.
I specialize in ontological coaching (focused on how you’re being, not just what you’re doing).
We explore what’s beneath the surface: the beliefs, stories, language, and patterns shaping your experience.
This work doesn’t push. It reveals.
Experience + Training
I completed my intensive coach training program with Accomplishment Coaching, an ICF-accredited program grounded in ontological principles and experiential learning.
I co-lead women’s circle leadership training and lead women’s circles in Victoria, BC.
I’ve completed Level 1 of Carmen Spagnola’s Therapeutic Helper Training, a trauma-sensitive training weaving attachment, somatics, and justice.
I’m currently in Authentic Relating Level 2 Advanced training. I regularly attend (and love) local AR games nights. These practices keep me present, curious, and connected to myself and others.
I’ve trained in Integrative Changework with Melissa Tiers, focusing on work with kids, teens, and pain relief. These tools deepen my ability to support regulation, healing, and change.
I’ve been a committed member of a powerful weekly women’s circle for over two years.
I volunteer with Sidewalk Talk, because I believe being heard can change a person, and being present can change a culture.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as an advertising copywriter, UX writer, and UX designer, crafting clear, human-centered stories and experiences.
The Human Behind the Coach
I’m a white, cis woman, settler-Canadian and half Norwegian, living and working on the unceded territory of the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples in what’s commonly called Victoria, BC. I identify as neurotypical and bring my commitment to intersectional awareness and justice into how I work and how I live.
I name these parts of my identity because they shape how I move through the world, how I hold space, and how I continue to learn.
I’m a mom to two incredible, sensitive, deeply silly twins. Reparenting myself while showing up for them has cracked me open in the best ways.
I’m married to a gifted executive coach and incredible dad. Between parenting and work, we often only get five minutes to connect. That’s just enough time to reflect, reset, and crack a joke about nervous system regulation.
I’ve been known to stop conversations to point out awesome dogs. I love dogs. I don’t have a dog. I should get a dog.
I feel a pull to the land in Norway, like a faraway love that stirs something deep.
I studied Psychology and Sociology in undergrad, but my curiosity about why we do what we do started long before then. I’ve been asking big questions since I was a wee one.
I love a so-weird-it-works metaphor. And I have an oddly strong sense of direction.
When something inspires me — a song, a book, a meal, an idea — I’m passionate about sharing it. That’s one of my love languages.
I could probably recite seasons 2–9 of The Simpsons in my sleep. (Conan-era. The good stuff.)
Did you seriously read all of that? Oof. Thank you. Love that you’re still with me. Maybe we should talk.
Let’s connect.
If something here feels like a yes, even a quiet one, follow it.
That’s often how real change starts.
With a small yes.
Let’s see where it leads.
