i’ve got you

Hi, I’m Krista, Certified Life Coach and Grief Treatment Educator, and I’m here to help you through your grief.

I know it’s not a very glamorous or fun subject to focus on, but because of the work I’ve done as a result of my own experiences, I know just how important it is to have the tools and resources to heal from it.

It took me a long time to learn how to address my grief, in fact, as a self described “avoider,” I never really gave my loss experiences the attention they deserved - I got really good at pushing my feelings away to the point that I tried to make everything look okay, when in reality, I was spiraling inside.

It wasn’t until I lost my father, mother and brother in rapid succession, that I fully realized and acknowledged that I needed to learn how to heal properly. As a Certified Life Coach, I knew what I needed to do. As a human, I was scared to do it.

As someone who loves to learn, I wanted to be able to help myself and others as part of my healing process. Education is such an important part of my life and business that I needed to rely on it as one of my tools, so I became a Certified Grief Treatment Educator in order to be able to dive deeper into tools, methods and resources to help me through my grief - and now, help you too.

Grief and loss are deeply personal, and there isn’t one way to grieve. That’s why I created the “You Can’t Tell Me How to Feel” resources. I want you to understand that you have the power and ability to create your own path, on your own terms, in your own time toward your healing.

I’m honored that you’re here, I love you.
