Hi, I'm Kristen
I help you take your brilliant brain from “fuck me” to “fuck yeah.”
Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and compulsive over-performance are all trauma responses.
They worked the first time, so your brain latched on to them and turned them into your go-to pattern for responding to everything — even when it’s totally inappropriate.
That’s why trying to be perfect, make everyone like you, and be the best of the best all the time makes you feel WORSE instead of feeling better.
Even when you try harder to be a perfect, lovable overachiever, you just keep feeling worse and worse and more stuck.
Being stuck in trauma responses is like swimming against the riptide: exhausting and ineffective.
Over time, that exhaustion turns into burnout.
When you’re burned out, even if you have big dreams and goals and the absolute best of intentions, everything can feel impossible and exhausting.
You keep powering through, trying to snap yourself out of it…and end up even more burned out.
When you’re stuck here, everything feels like a big “fuck me.”
But know this: It’s not your fault that you feel stuck.
You’re stuck because of your brain’s invisible patterns.
It doesn’t matter how hard you grit your teeth and try again — if your brain’s not on board with your plans, that shit just ain’t happening.
That’s where I come in.
I’m an integrative coach, and I specialize in helping you take your brain from “fuck me” to “fuck yeah.”
Willpower isn’t enough. If it were, it would have worked by now.
Great news: I have an approach that actually DOES work, and it’s a lot simpler, sexier, and more fun than willpower.
But, like, not in that “one weird trick” or “quick hack” way.
Not in that “you just need to live up to your true potential” way.
And DEFINITELY not in that “the only way to be successful is to get up at 4 every morning” way.
Fuuuuuck that.
The solution isn’t some magic bullet that will put you onto the foolproof path to inevitable success: that 37-hour day you’ve always dreamed of, in which you perform superhuman feats, never make mistakes, and are actually living the highlight reel 24/7 (fueled by Instagram-approved Bulletproof mushroom coffee and unicorn jizz, obvi) while your adoring fans look on.
In integrative coaching, we get your brain, your body, and your desire on the same page so you can actually DO the shit you want to do — in ways that work for you and your unique brain and circumstances.
Rave reviews
Kristen was my coach for over a year. She changed my fucking life and helped me double my business income, which my brain definitely thought was impossible. Kristen helped me become more of myself and my business become more aligned with who I’m meant to be. She’s a bomb coach and you should definitely coach with her because she’s a fiery ambitious bitch who’s changing the world.
Kristen is an amazing coach. She is listening carefully, knows the right questions to ask and the right lessons to share at the right time. She helped me to solve major problems in my personal life and finally start my own business. Step by step I rediscovered myself. We went deep. Sometimes it hurt. I trusted Kristen. I felt understood and supported. So thankful and happy that we met.
Kristen’s coaching is that perfect balance between tough love and empathetic support. In just the past 6 months, her sessions have allowed me to overcome perfectionistic blocks that I didn’t even know were present. I’m healing burnout, learning to show up as myself, and letting tasks be easy. I’m experiencing more freedom than ever in my business. And now, I’m able to better access the joy and fulfillment in my life that I felt like was missing. I can’t recommend her enough!
Kristen's container is energetic and laser-sharp focused on the results I wanted to get, and I got them overnight!
Kristen is an absolute genius at business strategy and mindset, with the added bonus of being an unapologetically hilarious-as-fuck feminist. She's built multi-6 figure businesses and grown national presence with her marketing and teaching brilliance. Her ability to make you feel understood while cracking wise with new perspectives is unparalleled. Hire her immediately and thank me later.
I hired Kristen King because I felt professionally stuck and my brain was on repeat: "It's never going to get better than this"; "I don't deserve to make more money or get a better job"; etc. Kristen helped me see that my mindset and preconceived ideas were the only things in the way of achieving my goals. It sounds simple, but it really is a profound experience when you realize you can change your life if you change your thoughts. The insights and epiphanies that I had while working with Kristen have been invaluable to my professional and personal growth. I highly recommend her services.
Kristen takes the time to really understand and to see me and to see what the exact problem is — whether it's in my business or in my personal life. Not only that, but she can help me see it. And when I can see what's happening, I have so much awareness and the choice to just absolutely fucking stop right there or choose to go on. Kristen has taught me how to fuck around and find out — which has helped me explore many things in my life and business sooner than I would have, had I hesitated for fear of getting in trouble or staying small. I highly recommend working with Kristen King. She will not only tell you how it is, but she will lovingly give you tools and the ability to express yourself, while always making you feel seen and heard in her programs.
Kristen is a phenomenally talented coach. I experienced her coaching directly as peers in a MM together — and HOLY WOW the insights she revealed to me were nothing short of life altering. She colors outside the lines; she weaves her mindset coaching, her brilliant knowledge of pop culture (she mentioned a scene in Harry Potter that illuminated a whole new POV for me), and her CALM commanding demeanor create an infinitely safe-but-strong space for you to get to the heart of what’s going on. I recommend working with her highly and endlessly.
As a Jew from NY I can assure you I have been through my share of therapists. Within this last year I sought out Kristen King. Her approach to supporting each person is like nothing I've ever experienced. The way she speaks, the way she gathers information, the way she shares, the way she guides is truly remarkable. Hang-ups that I've held onto for decades, she has helped me wipe away in just a couple of brief sessions. I've never worked with anyone like her. If you are looking for a truly authentic human who has a way with words and approaches to helping you with every part of your life — she's seriously the one. This last year hasn't been the easiest for me, and she's really given me incredible perspectives, shifts, acceptance and ways to take on life moments that I'd never considered before. Thanks to our work together, I finally let go of the shit that had been holding me back and reopened my private practice post-kids.As seen in
