Self-compassion practices for befriending and supporting yourself.

Kristy’s offerings are grounded in Mindful Self-Compassion, Internal Family Systems, Buddhist philosophy, and the wisdom of the archetypal feminine. Her meditations are designed to soothe, ground and energize you so that you can move back out into your day to do the important work you offer in the world. 

The HeartWorks meditations are your tools for emotional resilience, whatever situation you are in and whatever emotions you are feeling. 

Self-compassion practices help you to be your own best friend, even when times are tough. Internal Family Systems parts work offers you access to your internal resources and helps you to acknowledge and tend to your wounded parts. Buddhist philosophy’s ancient wisdom offers a sturdy anchor. The wisdom of the feminine offers flexibility and soul-nourishment to keep your emotional, psychological and spiritual tank topped up.
