Hi! I’m Kristie and I love helping people discover their True Essense and finding the purpose, freedom, healing and peace that results when they begin to live from that space. Using proven mindfulness techniques, brain science and my favorite personality tool the Enneagram, I guide people from all walks of life in becoming aware of what gets in their way of living life at the next level, their higher selves. 

The LifeSpark process is life-giving for all involved. Whether I’m doing spiritual direction with a woman at mid-life, coaching a business leader in emotional intelligence, working with a couple who wants to take their relationship to the next level, or a corporate team seeking the results this data-driven approach accomplishes, clients experience the joy of creating new awarenesses, aha moments, and life-altering discoveries. It starts with my commitment to creating a safe place for people to explore their interior world. Clients become aware of their self talk, their judgmental mind and limiting beliefs that keep them stuck and small. They learn to breath…sit still…accept..and be present in the moment. Clients grow in compassion and acceptance for themself and empathy for others. Their relationships improve. They excel as leaders. They become more able to authentically love.  They begin to thrive.

I work with both individuals and teams (corporate and family) because I love the variety. Over the course of my career I’ve spearheaded multiple, diverse projects always focused on driving personal and team growth. I’ve led non-profits, ran women’s ministries, helped start a large church, launched a business, trained as a spiritual director, led workshops, retreats, and coached people from all walks of life. I even practiced family law before leaving to raise my three children and move to Detroit.

We all have a story. I hope I get to her yours. Part of mine, a real turning point, was an extended life-or-death hospital stay during my third pregnancy in 2009. I was confined to a hospital bed and suffered daily labor pains for 40 days. Talk about an opportunity to build resilience, right?! It was at this critical point in my life that I first discovered the Enneagram. And my life was changed forever. I became aware of how I limited my perspective, operated in automatic patterns unconsciously, and learned how I could open myself to a new way of seeing and operating in the world that integrated all of me. The experience my mind labeled a nightmare in time I came to understand was a great gift.
