Testimonials

  • "I had an outstanding experience working with Krista as my professional coach while navigating career decisions and exploring new opportunities. Her use of Miro for our collaborative workshops was incredibly effective, allowing us to dive deep into my professional and personal motivations, aspirations, and core values in a visual and engaging way. What stood out most about Krista was her sharp, deductive thinking and her ability to maintain excellent momentum throughout our sessions. She brought tremendous energy to every workshop while keeping us focused and moving forward at just the right pace. I was particularly impressed by how she seamlessly blended practical, actionable insights with theoretical frameworks, making everything immediately applicable. Krista's approach gave me the clarity and comprehensive strategy I needed to enter my job search with well-defined goals and a balanced perspective. I would highly recommend Krista to anyone seeking professional coaching during career transitions. Her combination of energy, insight, and practical expertise makes her an exceptional coach."

    Patrick, Germany

  • "Working with Krista has been one of the most grounding and inspiring experiences in my career journey. As a creative coach, she helped me reconnect with what truly drives me, not just in terms of job titles or industries, but in understanding what motivates me at a deeper level. Together, we explored the alignment between who I am, who I want to become, and the kind of work that genuinely fulfils me. Krista has a rare combination of empathy and clarity. She always listened carefully, made space for my story, and somehow knew how to name the things I hadn’t quite seen myself. Her insights felt both intuitive and precise, offering new perspectives, helpful suggestions, and thoughtful encouragement every step of the way. Our sessions felt like time with someone who truly cared and was fully present, the kind of coach you feel lucky to have found. I can’t recommend Krista enough, not just as a coach, but as a kind, generous human being who brings real heart into her work."

I felt comfortable discussing everything with her and valued her constructive, focused feedback. The professional tools she introduced were both fun and insightful, helping me define my values and navigate my goals in a productive way.

    Katalin, Germany

  • "During my coaching sessions, Krista was a very valuable guide for me, helping me to detangle the chaos of thoughts and ideas about my professional future. Her emphatic understanding made it easy for me to open up to her and feel comfortable from the very first moment. Combined with her constructive feedback, professional tools and insights, she really helped me shape my vision and goals in every session. I especially appreciated the flexibility that allowed us to adjust the focus of each session to achieve the best outcome for me. I tend to overthink - but in the process with Krista, a flow emerged in which one step followed the other quite naturally. This created a productive & motivating way of working that enabled me to plan realistically and paved my way for self-employment."

    Lisa, from Germany

  • "Working with Krista has been an incredibly positive experience. The sessions were always goal-oriented, ensuring our discussions stayed focused and productive. I felt completely at ease opening up and discussing my challenges without fear of judgment. Each session left me feeling encouraged and more confident in my career path."

    Anjani, from India

  • "Krista’s guidance helped me hugely during a recent professional transition. Her empathy and personable nature set me at ease from the beginning and we worked through topics including change management, emotional resilience, and decision-making. Her probing questions helped me identify and process previously disorganized thoughts, which we ultimately used as the building blocks of a clearer overall perspective on the chosen topic. I left the sessions with a foundation on which to base upcoming decisions and a set of tools to leverage while navigating the next steps, both of which I owe to Krista's pragmatic and encouraging coaching style. Krista was also able to share invaluable professional advice and I hugely appreciated her practical, non-prescriptive approach to combining coaching and mentorship tactics when they added value."

    Sophie, from the U.K.

  • "Krista provided exceptional coaching during a professional transition. After having quit my job, I needed sustainable guidance for my career path. What impressed me most was Krista's vibrant energy and ability to create a safe space. She offered specific, empathetic guidance that felt both supportive and empowering. Her tools for identifying core values and genuine needs were particularly valuable. What I valued most about Krista was her incredible energy, sharp focus, and solution-oriented approach. She made our sessions flexible and goal-oriented, always addressing whatever topic was most pressing for me at the moment. She did not just help me solve immediate challenges but equipped me with lasting skills. For anyone seeking professional guidance during transitions, I highly recommend her services. Working with Krista was truly one of the best decisions I've made!"

Her ability to truly listen and understand gave me the space to reflect and reconnect with my goals.

About me.

I am a coach, mentor, leader, and creative. I’ve spent my career building, developing, and coaching large teams in complex corporate environments. Through this work I’ve learned the deep importance of building trust, communicating effectively, investing in others, and advocating for yourself. I have the same passion and expertise for brief writing that I have for boundary setting and I’m thrilled to blend it all into my coaching practice. 

I was born in New York City and spent my early years surrounded by expats at the United Nations International School. This early exposure to such inspiring cultural diversity shaped my outlook on the world and played an important role in my creative pursuits. After university, I spent over a decade living and working in Boston before moving to Berlin to pursue a new life adventure. I’ve grown more in my life as an expat than at any other life stage and I’m excited to bring my unique perspective and creative problem solving to your biggest challenges.

FAQs

As a life and career coach for creatives and Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), I help clients navigate career transitions, build confidence, and live authentically. Because I’m an HSP myself, I understand the challenges of sensitivity—overwhelm, burnout, people-pleasing—but also the gifts. I have developed tools to help you thrive with clarity and purpose.

  • A life and career coach helps you gain clarity, confidence, and direction in both personal and professional areas. I specialize in supporting creatives and Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), using tools from the Designing Your Life methodology to help you reimagine your path with creativity and purpose.

  • If you’re feeling stuck, navigating a career transition, struggling with boundaries, or unsure of your next step, coaching can help.

  • Each session is structured yet flexible. I’m certified in the Designing Your Life framework so we’ll use practical tools—like values definition, Work View, Life View, Odyssey Mapping and visual exercises—to help you reorient, gain perspective, and take actionable steps. As a coach experienced in working with HSPs, I make sure sessions feel safe, empowering, and tailored to your needs.

  • Clients describe my style as empathetic, energetic, and solution-oriented. As a Highly Sensitive Person myself, I bring a deep understanding of the trait and the challenges it can present.

  • Yes, I always offer a hybrid approach with some sessions online and some in-person. However many clients opt for only virtual sessions. This can be tailored to best fit your needs and your schedule.

Many HSPs find that combining steady coaching with Designing Your Life tools gives them the accountability, grounding, and strategies needed to move forward with confidence.

  • The first step is scheduling a free consultation call. We’ll talk about your goals, challenges, and whether coaching feels like the right fit for you. I’ll also share how the Designing Your Life approach can help you find clarity and direction.
