“Crystal is an amazing coach! Words truly cannot adequately describe. She has a strong, calm energy that made me feel safe in our session and I was able to connect with parts of me that I thought I had lost. I thought I had lost my childlike innocence. Crystal helped me reconnect with that part of myself again. After our session I felt a renewed energy and I view life differently now because of her guidance. Crystal is truly a remarkable human being and a fantastic coach. I highly recommend her!” ~Laura
“My session with Crystal was nothing short of amazing! She came with an open heart and willingness to help me navigate the block I was experiencing and identify the limiting belief that I had. She guided me to find the answers within myself, overcome that block, and plant new beliefs. With her help, I walked away from the session with new hope!” ~April
My Healing Journey-Domestic Abuse: A Child’s Perspective
Link to my story on The Adult Chair Podcast May 7, 2020
This is my story about the impact of domestic abuse in my childhood and my journey toward healing. One of my reasons for sharing this is to break the victim's mask—notice my pseudonym, Marybeth—and show that healing is possible.
There is power in telling our stories, speaking our truth, and offering grace to ourselves and those who have hurt us. When we do this, we transform from victim to warrior!
Through my transformation, I became inspired to help others overcome their struggles. In 2022, I completed my Master Adult Chair® Coach certification.
As a Life and Trauma Holistic Coach, I provide a safe space for my clients to transform from victim to warrior, restoring peace and purpose within themselves.
