Soul work gets to the point of things. I’ve never been to a therapist like Kristen. Most therapy stays on the surface; Kristen brings it deeper, to the place where you hurt. That’s the key – support in that deep, bottom place, bringing you forward... Most therapists don’t do that.

Awareness is the luminous consciousness that sees and knows all.   Like the space of sky, awareness allows the birds, clouds and weather of our experience to pass through in peace.  Being and awareness abide timelessly like an unchanging field of wholeness out of which arises the ever-changing world of experience.

Soul is the innermost placeless place, known within the heart of Love, where wholeness being meets individual-ness.  In this union arises soul seed essence with a kind of blueprint -like spiritual DNA -that guides individual unfolding as part of wholeness.

Soul speaks clearly through what we love.  Love calls us to fully live what we are.  But the depth of Soul has nothing to do with personal identity, and as humans, we get confused.  Soul work and play help to untangle knots of identity and returns you to truth of soul being.

Empowerment and fulfillment are the ripening of soul seed essence.  Like the oyster that births a pearl, you shine with soul’s beauty in being fully you! 

Being aware of awareness opens a portal of being where peace abides…

From soul excavation to fulfillment

Soul is like a buried treasure and soul excavation is the essence of this work.   The process is personal and includes all facets of you ordinary and extraordinary life.    I recognize the Soul seed in You and listen for what makes you happy and how this love would live in the world as fully embodied you. What is the nature of the butterfly you would be?

The process continually moves inward toward soul being.  Yet, the work is grounded and practical.  You are not limited to psychology, but skillful methods and tools help ease psychological suffering, and dissolve pain of separateness, lack and limitation.

 Some people arrive with a specific issue that resolves quickly.   Others establish ongoing relationship over many years, and the nature of the work naturally transitions from therapy to mentorship, as you move from trauma healing to soul fulfillment.  Transpersonal integration counseling can take you all the way home. 

Awareness of awareness itself is soul work!
