Hey! I'm Crystal.

And I'm so glad you are here. I'm pretty much an open book, so you'll probably find what you want to know about me below.

If there's anything you don't see and want to ask, please email me. I'll tell you if it's off-limits, but chances are it's fair game. 🙂

I didn't realize it at the time, but most of my life, I did what was expected of me.

Sometimes I knew exactly what I wanted and pursued it with the exuberant passion I put into everything that really mattered to me (homeschooling, traveling with my family, and parenting).

But looking back, I realize that I didn't really know myself.

It wasn't until I discovered coaching, began working with a variety of coaches (life coach, Enneagram coach, somatic coach, and health coach – not all at the same time!), and received a late-in-life diagnosis of autism and ADHD that I finally started to understand myself.

The more I understand who I am, what I need to keep my nervous system regulated, and what I truly enjoy, the more I can flourish and thrive. I can embrace who God made me and the calling He has just for me.

That's why I love what I do!

I help neurodivergent and out-of-the-box thinkers develop the courage and confidence to be boldly and authentically themselves and live out their unique calling.

Helping out-of-the-box thinkers embrace who they are and boldly live it out.
