Kristen’s hard work and consistent clarity to make all of this happen for me and this group was really magical. Kristen is so talented. She has such a strong and clear intuition and at just the right moments. She helped me quiet the monkey mind. She reminded me that it isn’t all about the tools, sometimes with too many tools we can complicate things and try to do everything and then realize one day we aren’t doing what really matters most. Simple acts like incorporating daily rituals and the importance of keeping things simple opens space for us to focus and allows for easier expansion. She really is the bomb. She is generous, her heart is so bright, big, and strong. She has this magical mix to really hold profoundly safe space where people get to choose how to show up and kind of take their own terms with bringing in powerful insights and love and having flow with elegance and grace. The spiritual aspects of the week we’re really mind-blowing. Thank you Kristen, for seeing me and knowing what I needed in just the right moments! Our work together has been game changing. I am so honored to work with you and know you and to be on this humbling path together. This retreat was profound and life-changing. I am exciting to keep working with Kristen and carry this work forward. Her program is really elegantly designed, it is remarkable to have the coaching come after the experience. I also found the sound healing to be remarkably nurturing and quieting and healing

Wow. Where to start? There are so many adjectives that come to mind to help try and relay the incredible journey upon which we just embarked. I will try and explain sticking with these three: peaceful, surprising, and fruitful. Peaceful: I went originally to escape the noise of everyday life and boy was it just that. From the literal soothing sounds of the jungle and its inhabitants rising with the sun, to the mental escape from the loud “noise” of our mundane day-to-day, the retreat was a relaxing reset button aligning to a healthier pace of life. Nyepi, whilst just one day of silence, taught me that there can be a long-lasting power in NOT doing something vs. our ingrained behavior to do many things at once. Surprising: As I mentioned, I honestly just needed a break, but what I experienced was far more profound. There really is something magical about Bali and the path that Kristen has stated for me that were both unexpected. I’ve been to a lot of places in the world, but never to Bali. Bali has a unique energy driven by the ultra-kind people, their spiritual traditions and a tempered pace of life all amidst a truly beautiful landscape/backdrop. As far as my path, I’m a logic guy who thought he had the 1’s and 0’s figured out. Kristen created an environment that allowed me to reflect inward and understand how life is far from binary. Fruitful: I went into the retreat with a temporary escape in mind but what I came away with was a lifelong recipe for a healthier mind and body. Kristen was able to formulate a path specifically tailored for me that was spot on. She has a truly unique ability to listen, process and guide, all with patience and a gentle touch. Ultimately, the word retreat does not truly convey what this was for me. Yes, I did “escape” to a beautiful and exotic place far from home, but while there and with Kristen’s help, I now have the space and place to find peace, strength and happiness in my everyday life.
