Integration:
No Two Journeys
are the Same
What is Integration?
The insights that are learned through somatic coaching, breathwork, and other embodied therapeutics like plant medicine can be profound, but are often confusing. Without a dedicated plan that translates these insights into real change, many people find that their clarity fades and comfortable old habits reappear. Integration is the work that allows our lives to create a vibrant new shape.
You may feel like you’ve been gifted with a new insight - a different way of seeing yourself, your relationships, or an aspect of your life - but have not been given a road map for how to actually live differently. Integration is the gentle unfolding and translation of that map into something that you can understand and implement. Having a guide on the journey of transformation assists you in doing the dedicated work of returning to what you were shown, again and again, until it becomes part of how you actually move through your life.
You may find yourself here if:
a major life experience has made you feel that you are standing on the edge of a new reality;
you have done somatics or breathwork with another practitioner and feel that the insights are already starting to fade;
you’ve returned home from a plant medicine journey and are unclear on what the symbolic language of your experience means;
you are seeking a guide who can provide space for both the symbolic and clinical sides of what you are moving through.
My work as a trained facilitator allows me to make sense of the symbolism, archetypes and language of change so personal transformation can take place.
Your consciousness was awakened so you can begin to heal yourself. Integration shows you how.
Integration Services
Integration combines my knowledge as a trained therapist with my belief that the universe always shows us our path forward - sometimes we just need help interpreting what is being shown to us. For clients working with me across my service offerings, integration is woven into everything we will do together.
Plant medicine tourism is a growing international industry. There are several US states where the practice is legal, as well as various countries with deep plant medicine traditions. However, there is often no plan for continued integration of the many powerful insights that are gained through journeying, and the period after the experience can feel isolating and confusing. The true magic of plant medicines is realized by taking the time to embody the path that was shown to you. I’m here to translate what is truly being asked of you.
Plant Medicine Integration
Plant medicine journeys are not accessible to, or desired by, everyone. Luckily, the deep insights from medicine work are also available to us through expanded state breathwork. No two breathwork journeys are alike, which is part of why what is shown to us can be so hard to process with friends and family. My integration techniques work with you to unpack the imagery, sensations and insights that surfaced in your session, and translate them into real and lasting change.
Breathwork Integration
Sometimes what needs integrating isn't a medicine or breathwork journey, but a major life experience like a diagnosis, a divorce, a new life stage, or any moment that finds us standing at the edge of something new and unknown. By shifting the ground beneath us, these profound shifts can open our lives in the same way that a medicine journey can. Integration holds sacred space for realignment, as you discover a new way of moving through your life as you reinterpret your possibilities.
Life Transition Integration
On the other side of integration work, clients describe a fuller understanding of what they were shown and a sense of alignment with their own inner truth. Integration allows us to feel like the most true version of ourselves. We can stand in our own authenticity, clear on who we are amid life circumstances, and no longer prioritizing everyone else's needs ahead of our own.
Your Questions, Answered
-
Integration is just as relevant for a breathwork experience, a major life transition, or any moment that has left you without a clear path forward. If something has shifted the ground beneath you, that's enough of a reason to book a session.
-
I offer my sessions in a package so that we have time to fully explore, integrate, and practice your new habits. Growth is not linear, and often these changes cannot be rushed. There's no set timeline; instead, we will build a plan together that fits your goals and budget.
-
As a trained therapist myself I’m honored to serve as a bridge by collaborating with your existing therapist so the insights from your journey can move into your traditional talk therapy, as opposed to living outside of that work.

That's the norm, not the exception. Plant medicine and breathwork experiences often speak in symbolism, archetype, and imagery that doesn't make sense right away. Healing unfolds over time, not all at once. You're not expected to arrive with the meaning already figured out.
I have spent much of my adult life focused on self-discovery and healing. My work with Kristyn has moved the needle more than years of cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR combined.
Kristyn takes the time to truly know and understand her clients. She combines her deep expertise with your goals for a truly unique and transformative experience. Through on-going integration work, she helps me to take what I have learned to see and do things differently in my every day life. Furthermore, she is teaching me to help my body let go of what it has been holding onto for years.
My work with Kristyn is changing my life. It has brought both immediate shifts and lasting change.
