Testimonials

“The first one was really pivotal for me. I felt able to express things I didn’t even realize I was holding in. I felt relief, lighter, and energized after (the session) to actually do something for myself. I feel it takes a strong person to do what you are doing.” –C.T., Northampton, MA

“Kristin is able to draw from so many sources (yoga, dance, writing, meditation, somatics, traditional talk like therapy, art) to create a safe, supportive, active space to explore, heal, and cherish things that once felt lost or too difficult to face. She models a groundedness that is accessible and easy to duplicate in my every day life. She integrates somatic work with empathic talk in a way that feels relatable and practical all while deeper more unseen feelings continue to safely unfold and unveil themselves.” –T.M., Cambridge, MA

“I am pleased to have this opportunity to tell you about my experiences with Kristin and somatic/expressive therapy. I have a background in mental health, work as a therapist and see advantages to this approach that are uniquely effective. In my case, the chance to listen to my own physical response to things and to my body has led me to new insights that are deeper about myself and give empathy to my feelings and me. This therapeutic approach opens for me information about why I’m reacting the way I am to situations as well as what is at the core of my responses. This helps me view myself in ways that are more holistic and to see myself as the sum of my parts rather than compartmentalizing as I often do.” –S.R., Springfield, IL

“Kristin is insightful, warm and willing to bring a full presence to meetings. She maintains a constant attentive, position with me and provides positive regard. She is able to incorporate information over time into a whole picture of who I am and to integrate pieces of information into the tapestry of who I am. Her input into my sessions is amazing, adds to and informs my self perception in sessions and in my life. She has a calm demeanor and is able to bring a zen tone to the session no matter how anxious I may be. This helps me learn to calm myself in circumstances and in new ways. She has an authenticity and introspection that makes her immediately trustworthy and makes vulnerability safe. Overall, I’m pleased to recommend this therapeutic approach and especially to recommend Kristin. She has helped me immensely and I enthusiastically endorse her abilities and skills.” –S.R., Springfield, IL
