​A Bit About Kristina

Originally from Germany, Kristina first felt a deep sense of belonging when she arrived in Canada—a feeling that would become a guiding thread in both her personal and professional journey.

After earning her Bachelor's in Business Administration in Cologne, Kristina followed her calling into the helping professions and completed her Master’s in Clinical Counselling at City University in Vancouver. But her understanding of healing didn’t start or stop in the classroom.

Growing up alongside horses, Kristina learned early on the power of non-verbal connection and the calming presence of these 1,400-pound companions. It was a kind of safety she could feel in her body. Later, through her studies in Somatic Experiencing®, she rediscovered that same embodied safety—this time as a way to move through anxiety, depression, and freeze responses that had once felt stuck.

Kristina’s work is grounded in both education and lived experience. She’s passionate about the tools she offers because she’s seen—personally and professionally—how they can shift the nervous system, restore a sense of agency, and open the door to meaningful change.

She’s here to walk alongside you, not as someone with all the answers, but as someone who knows the path from the inside out.
