Hello & Welcome,
I’m Krista,

my story

Around midlife, I embarked on a journey that made me question everything I had been living, creating, and doing.

There was something about midlife that really woke me up to where I was still hiding behind false identities and gaining my power from things outside of myself. I was tired of taking more certifications, reading more books, devouring one more podcast and continuously filling my mind with more information. 

I did what might seem counterintuitive and I began resting.  Yes, laying down-but more than that the way I define rest is much more broad. I began to heal my nervous system. Simple and sacred practices repeated again and again began to bring me back home to myself. Over time, I began to notice that even in challenging circumstances, I was able to hold center and stay with myself. I noticed how pausing to rest rippled out into every aspect of my life.  I was slowly building safety with my body. I was no longer at the whim of stress and survival patterns.

When we take a few moments each day to pause, rest and come home to our bodies, we are engaging in a subversive act of reclaiming the innate wisdom within our bodies and the natural world.  When we stop outsourcing our energy and our worth, and reclaim our aliveness, it unwinds our frazzled nervous systems, unhooking us from anything external that previously defined us. 

Creating safety in our body has the power to heal, restore and liberate us from the patterns and beliefs that we need to always be on, always doing, proving, succeeding, producing and overworking.  

Nervous system attunement (what I call rest practices) is the very thing that anchors us to a place of deep presence and ease.  It helps us to reduce anxiety and stress, heal our bodies, expand our creativity, refine our decision making, and embody a revolutionary life.  

Rest is an invitation for deep healing, empowerment, renewal and transformation.
