Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristina Renée.
Hi Kristina, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I grew up communing with nature and the unseen, but turning those raw gifts into a grounded, responsible bridge for others took years of deep study and personal healing. Academically, my degrees in Psychology and Women’s Studies gave me the intellectual lens to understand the systems of oppression and collective fragmentation that separate us from the Earth and our core selves. This intersection of systemic awareness and deep inner connection is exactly what ignited my fire for a life of service.
As I dove deeper into healing, I pursued graduate-level work at Naropa University in 2003, a premier institution renowned for mindfulness-based, contemplative education. The rich meditation and transpersonal psychology practices I gained there steered me toward extensive training and certifications in yoga, meditation, integrative energy bodywork, and nutrition.
For over a decade, I dedicated my life to transformative healing, teaching thousands of hours of breathwork, yoga, and mindfulness both internationally and locally. Recognizing the limitations of traditional talk therapy, I ultimately merged these time-tested somatic practices with neurobiological grounding to my private practice.
When the widespread digital shift of 2020 arrived, it catalyzed a vital expansion in my work. I began weaving advanced modalities into my practice — including hypnotherapy, power and soul retrieval, parts work, relational somatic and applied shamanism — to help support the powerful initiations and turning points we experience in life.
Today, I have the honor of working with clients both online and in my local office. Through this multifaceted approach, I facilitate bespoke immersions, seasonal classes, and deep mentorships focused on shadow integration and inner alchemy. Ultimately, my practice focuses on helping people track patterns, move out of an overactive thinking mind, and physically release stored trauma from the body to repattern and live more freely in the throes of life.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Following the birth of my son in late 2019, the world as we knew it completely fractured just three months later. Professionally, I adapted — scaling my local practice globally to hold space for a community navigating collective trauma. Personally, however, I was moving through an intense, isolated rite of passage as a new mother. It was a profoundly challenging and painful season. Traversing that isolation forced me to discover the true strength of motherhood, ultimately teaching me how to show up for my life, my family, and my clients with radical responsibility.
As I learned, fumbling often, to juggle a massive career pivot and postpartum healing during a global crisis, I found myself in deep, frequent grief. I watched a decade-old community that had deeply nourished me completely dismantle. I said goodbye to dear friends moving away, holding my newborn and wishing they could stay. In many ways, I was forced to uncover inner resources I had never fully tapped into before. While accessing innate wisdom is a natural part of the initiation into motherhood, doing so in a world gripped by fear held a heavy weight. As a new mother during that global crisis, I had nothing else to compare it to. In that moment, viewing this upheaval as an opportunity felt impossible. Yet, with perspective, it truly was.
Rocky roads will happen; some may be more of an obstacle than others. I have come to find, however, that it is less about the ‘rocks’ and more about how we are in relationship to them. In fact, it was this specific lens that allowed me to repattern the way I was relating to myself, my journey into motherhood, my family, my work, the grief, and the uncertainty. It allowed for a massive transformation of my private practice—and of my life. This exact pathway of understanding how we meet our experiences, especially our transitions, is precisely how I support others along their great awakening into their own radical responsibility.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
At its core, my work is ‘energetic hygiene.’ I support people in mapping their emotional patterns and reclaiming their power, walking through the untangling process together so they can return to their core self. My approach weaves lineage-based practices to settle the analytical mind, paving the way for emotional healing and energetic shifts. Through trauma-informed somatic therapy, shadow integration, and subconscious and transpersonal practices, I help people navigate the thresholds of healing to build lasting inner safety.
What truly sets this work apart is that we aren’t just aiming for symptom management or basic nervous system regulation — we are entering a sacred space of self-reclamation. While traditional somatic therapies do a beautiful job of tracking physical sensations, my approach bridges that vital neurobiological grounding with deep transpersonal and unseen traditions. We look beyond the surface of daily stress to unearth the root and karmic blueprints driving chronic trauma and burnout. Healing isn’t a linear, intellectual exercise; it is a reintegration of the shadow and a return to wholeness.
To facilitate this deep integration, I offer three dedicated tracks of individualized care: The Somatic Pathway, The Shadow Pathway, and The Ancient Wisdom Pathway. While these pillars are interrelated, each person resonates with a specific pathway at different points in their journey. Because these tracks are flexible and interwoven, it allows us to meander freely, meeting you exactly where you are. The true heartbeat of my work is guiding you toward your truest path and the evolutionary healing power already inside you.
Ultimately, I view this entire awakening and healing journey through the lens of sacred activism. Understanding that this work never exists in a vacuum, I hold the systemic, cultural, and ecological impacts close, ensuring that as we mend our own inner landscape, we are also realigning our relationship with the collective and the Earth. While we may not explicitly bring these conversations into sessions, it is the undercurrent that drives my work — the belief that our individual responsibility to our inner healing is a salve for the suffering and disconnection in our world.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
There are a few direct pathways to engage with my practice, depending on the depth of support you are looking for.
Community Care: I offer accessible monthly audio meditations through my Substack community, Kristina Renée | Medicine for the Soul, alongside seasonal 75-minute livestream classes hosted four times a year online.
Individual Support: For those ready for a dedicated personal journey, I offer highly customized 1:1 and dyad sessions available both locally at my private office and globally online.
SPIRAL Immersion: This is my signature six-month private, small group program, which I facilitate just once a year. It serves as a deeply intentional, close-knit space for inner exploration, study, and the deep integration needed to live daily from your own inner wisdom. We open applications every Spring for this rare container, aligning our start with the energy of the Summer Solstice.
Partnerships: I am inspired by creative expansion and professional partnerships. I enjoy teaming up with aligned practitioners, educators and artist to bridge the gap between neurobiological grounding, deep inner wisdom and global care.
Community Connection: The most impactful way to support this practice is through community connection. You can subscribe to my newsletter and share my resources with someone who needs a soft, intentional place to land.
