My partner and I were at a personal and relational breaking point. I was delighted that [Kristine] agreed [to meet with us] and we began working together focusing on me, at first, then adding my partner. The resulting transformation is nothing short of miraculous.

Kristine helped me understand myself, validated and encouraged me to look deep within and face my false assumptions and blind spots. ... We’re building a new, rock-solid connection, clarified communication, mutual respect and understanding, while rekindling our love for each other. We credit Kristine’s support, guidance, and compassion as the key factor in this success.

But let’s be real for a moment. There are some “downsides” to working with Kristine:

Your utter inability to continue making excuses
Letting go of the fantasy world to live in reality as an adult
Her stubborn insistence that you look to the mirror and within for real solutions
You can no longer shirk personal responsibility
Mandatory compassion for your inner child
Owning your own triggers, behaviors, words, moods, etc (especially hard but pivotal in positive progress)

I now have proven tools to continue reaching greater levels of inner and outer wholeness. I feel compelled to share this gift with anyone struggling with personal and/or relationship wounds. There’s absolutely hope for things to mend.
