Helping women find their voice, align with their purpose, and live in authentic personal authority as they navigate powerful life transitions.

Doula, Transformational Coach, and Embodiment Facilitator

Hi, I’m Kristin.

I am a Transformational Coach, radical birthkeeper, yoga teacher, embodiment facilitator, and founder of The Chrysalis.

The Chrysalis is a haven for courageous seekers as they traverse thresholds and navigate radical life transformations.

I am passionate about guiding others to reclaim their personal power, live authentically, and align with their own individual truth. I use a combination of mentoring and coaching, mind-body tools, embodied movement, and energy work to facilitate deep, lasting change as you step into a new sense of wholeness, purpose, and fulfilment.

I am a certified birth and postpartum doula and birthkeeper, birth preparation mentor, life coach, Reiki Master, and yoga teacher based in York, England. I have over a decade years of experience supporting women through challenging transitions. Wherever you are on your journey, we will work together to shift limiting belief patterns, release what no longer serves you, re-calibrate your energetic blueprint, and establish a foundation based on self-love, trust, connection, and manifestation.

Client Love

  • "Our experience with Kristin as our doula was everything we could have wished for. Kristin was also the teacher for our birth class. We felt very comfortable with her right away, and we were so impressed by her extensive knowledge and her energy. Her support and encouragement made our journey to becoming parents truly special."

  • "Kristin has been with me through both of my pregnancies and births. Although they were very different, she made certain that I was understood my options. Her support helped me ensure that even my more complex second birth was almost completely undisturbed."

    — E.T., Denver, CO

  • "I cannot put into words how amazing my birth was, in no small part due to Kristin's wisdom and energy. I felt safe, calm, and confident with her by our side. Her professionalism with the staff was key in helping to ensure that I was able to avoid interventions that I did not want or need."

  • “When I first started this journey, I wasn’t in a horrible place, but I knew something needed to shift. I hadn’t really found my way back to myself since becoming a parent, but I didn’t even know who that person was anymore. I tried to go back to my old career, things I used to enjoy, but I had changed. I didn’t know what to do. Somehow, I found Kristin, and from our first conversation, I knew that I was was ready, and she was going to be my steadfast champion along the way.

  • My life needed a major upgrade. My marriage was solid but stagnant. I didn't enjoy my job. And I had put on 3 stone since having kids. With Kristin's compassionate and wise guidance, my partner and I are spending more quality time together. I found a job that was more aligned with who I am and how I want to be. And I'm in better shape than I was before having kids - WOW! All because I now believe that I am worth it.

  • Call this woman now. No, call her yesterday. Really, though, Kristin is a truly gifted healer and a woman wiser than her years. I have never known someone who could be so present, so compassionate, and such a brilliant mirror showing me that who I thought I was, wasn't really who I am. I am so, so grateful.

  • Kristin was my doula for my second two births after a traumatic (not) emergency caesarean. With her guidance and support, I found a homebirth midwife and had two amazing and empowering HBACs (homebirth after caesarean). Kristin taught my childbirth classes before my second birth, as well, and her knowledge and wicked sense of humour made it one of the best classes I've ever taken (even my husband loved it!). Kristin tells me I could have done all of it without her, but I wouldn't have wanted to. She's a gem.

  • I took Kristin's childbirth class before the birth of my first child and decided to hire her as my doula. She was also at the birth of my second child three years later. Last year, when my youngest started school, I realised that I felt like something was off in my life. I didn't know how to put it into words. I went to therapy, which helped a bit, but I needed more tools to help me do the deep work of the identity crisis I was experiencing. I needed a 'life doula'. I called Kristin, remembering that she was also a life coach. Hearing her voice again was the balm I needed. I've been working with her as my coach now for two years and have made massive strides in creating my best life.
