Hi, I’m Kristi!

I’m a former Seventh-day Adventist turned religious trauma coach who not only deconstructed & recovered from my own indoctrinated upbringing, but now I get to walk with you on your journey too!

“Kristi has an incredible gift of communication and empathy. She truly listens and cares, pulling from her own experiences and knowledge to share insight, and help others move towards healing.”

Religious trauma often leads to deconstruction.

What is Deconstruction?

What it is:

  • Often triggered by personal crisis (loss, illness, or recognizing abuse)

  • Often connected to abuse

  • A place of curiosity, questioning, and doubt

  • A space to reflect on your life story

  • A chance for freedom from destructive beliefs & behaviors

  • A journey towards growth, maturity, and depth

  • Oftentimes frightening, freeing, or both

  • It may be about leaving your faith system or it may not

  • A journey as unique as you are!

What it isn’t:

  • Backsliding

  • Rebelling

  • Mental Illness

  • Satan tempting you

  • Demon possession

  • A lack of faith

“A kid that’s being hit by their father knows it. But someone who’s being abused by their church very often has no idea it’s happening until years later.”

— Adam Young, LCSW (The Place We Find Ourselves Podcast)

Religious Trauma Coaching might be right for you if:

  • Belong or did belong to a high-control or fundamentalist group

  • History of sexual abuse

  • Narcissistic or emotional abuse

  • Family of origin trauma

  • Dysregulated nervous system (feeling easily triggered or having breakdowns)

  • Anxiety, depression, or religious obsessions

  • LGBTQ+ trauma

  • Loss of a sense of self, a sense of purpose or meaning

  • Religious fatigue or burnout

“Kristi played an incredible role in helping me escape a cult and navigate a destructive relationship. Her exceptional coaching skills provided me with the clarity and strength I needed. Kristi was always there to listen and hold safe space so that I could see through the manipulation and control. Throughout the process I felt supported and empowered. Coaching with Kristi truly set me free.”
