They are a student of ancient, modern and futures healing traditions. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology from Bryn Mawr College and Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling specializing in Dance/Movement Therapy from Lesley University. She is a lifelong learner dedicated to continued education, liberation and sovereignty praxis, embodied leadership and transformative justice through healing arts, community building, and culture shaping.

Krystal intentionally practices in culturally-relevant, co-creative, collaborative, healing-centered ways to support QTBIPOC folks and anti-oppressive allies navigating life transitions, anxiety, identity and cultural challenges, and trauma-healing.

Sessions are curated to include experiential practices, breathwork, ritual/ceremonial arts, remembering ancestral technologies, journaling, and/or multimodal storytelling, depending on the unique learning and processing needs of the person.

Moving at the speed of trust, folks often leave sessions feeling increased sense of clarity, hope, connection and direction. Making meaning in the ways that make sense for you as a multidimensional being :)
