Healing isn’t about getting back to normal.
It’s about creating a life that’s true to who you are now.
Trauma-informed coaching for women navigating grief, identity loss and major life transitions.
Meet Your Wise Self
This 5-minute meditation guides you through a powerful encounter with the part of you that already knows the way … and reminds you you’re not as alone as you feel.
I see you.
Identity-quake. Dark night of the Soul. Threshold. The in-between.
You’re functioning on the outside.
But you feel untethered underneath.
Coping mechanisms and tell-tale signs may include:
🍂 scrolling dog videos or watching Bridgerton until your eyes glaze over to try to escape reality any way you can.
🍂 signing up for twenty classes, volunteering for every committee or working 80 hours per week
so that you stay too busy to think about your own life.
🍂 standing in the grocery store, freezer door open, unable to decide on what ice cream to buy,
let alone what direction to take your life.
🍂 saying “I’m fine” out of muscle memory —while your inner dialogue reminds you that an hour ago you burst into tears over a State Farm commercial.
🍂 stuck in your own head — replaying what-ifs, conversations, or every decision that got you here
— on a loop you can’t shut off.
🍂 quietly terrified you’ll melt down into a pile of goo and never get up again.
You don’t have to stay here.
But I’m also not going to promise you a five-year master plan, or some “new year, new you” nonsense.
Instead, I’ll guide you to untangle from beliefs and identities that are no longer serving you, root in to a new relationship with your self, identify what matters most, and access that inner wisdom you’ve been taught to doubt, and then weave together the story of you that takes in all your wisdom and experience.
So you can trust yourself again.
Make choices that feel like you.
And move through the uncertainty of identity-quakes without abandoning yourself in the process.
This is what I call “loving yourself clear down to your bones.”
And that’s where I come in.
Meet Your Guide
Kristin Halberg
Hi. I’m Kristin.
Guide through the In-between
Trauma-Informed Holistic Practitioner
and
Creator of The Wildwoven Way
Also me: Systems thinker. Tree hugger. Activist.
Rebel Witch. Storyteller. Soul Guide. Fur-mama.
I work with women in the midst of identity-quakes and threshold seasons.
Because if there’s one thing I know intimately …
it’s those periods in life when everything upends at once.
Job. Relationships. Family. Health. Beliefs. Stability. Identity.
A couple of decades ago, I was in the middle of one of those seasons, clinging to the ONE thing I thought would never let me down: nature.
And then one day, it did.
Angry, exhausted, and completely untethered, I remember shaking my fist at the sky and shouting:
“Even caterpillars get a stick!!”
🐛🐛🐛
This might seem like an absurd reaction now.
But you know all the platitudes … when you’re going through big transformation everyone reminds you of the caterpillar all snugged up in its cocoon, ready to turn into a beautiful butterfly.
But if you’ve ever studied the biology of that caterpillar-to-butterfly metamorphosis, you know that special enzymes break down all of the butterfly’s body, turn it into goo, and then regrow it from scratch.
When you’re going through an identity-quake, the human brain —which craves certainty— can’t find anything about itself that it’s sure about, which can make you feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole. At least that’s how I felt during that major identity-quake.
Yet … we expect people to navigate heartbreak, grief, reinvention, and identity loss as if it were as simple as rearranging furniture … instead of the complex and adaptive challenge it actually is.
Research shows your life moves through constant periods of order and disorder, chaos and complexity.
This idea that life unfolds in tidy, pre-ordained stages is as outdated as wall phones.
🍂 You live in a culture that treats grief like an inconvenience and identity disruption like a logistical problem — something to organize, optimize, and check off a list so you can get back to “normal” as quickly as possible.
These days there are more training programs teaching people how to decorate charcuterie boards than there are people equipped to support you through an identity-quake or a dark night of the soul without abandoning yourself in the process.
And if you’ve ever been through any sort of grief, you know that it does NOT behave like a well-trained puppy.
… I’m not here to tell you this process is easy.
But over the past two decades, I’ve guided hundreds of women —including myself— through the uncomfortable goo of the in-between, back to a solid relationship with themselves.
Because what I’ve learned is this:
The goal isn’t to get back to who you were before. And it’s not to create some new “better” you.
The goal is to love yourself clear down to your bones.
Because when you trust yourself, belong to yourself, and consistently show up for what matters most to you, you can navigate almost anything life throws at you.
This is what happens when you become rooted again:
My intuition is getting stronger.
“When I first started working with Kristin I felt lost, untethered, adrift, scared.” Six months later: “TANGIBLE, clear evidence that the tools I have now work. My perceptions of reality are in fact reliable, and my ability to hear my intuition is getting stronger the more I love myself.” — Etta
I feel a deep inner calm and strength.
“Six months ago, difficult decisions and life’s uncertainties made my head spin. Now, I feel a deep inner calm and strength in the knowledge that I am enough. Thank you, Kristin—this work is truly a gift.”
I found my voice.
“I know that I wouldn’t be at peace with my choice if it wasn’t for my meetings with Kristin. I found my voice and it feels good.”
I walked away with clarity and self-worth.
“I walked away from my time with Kristin with new awareness of my self worth, clarity in who I am, better centeredness, and more energy to put behind my determination to make a difference.”
You're ready to step into the Wildwoven Way if you're ...
Tired of saying “I’m fine” on autopilot—
and are finally ready to allow yourself to be supported. You’ve been holding it together for everyone else for a long time.
Now you’re ready to let someone hold space for you, too.
Carrying more than one hard thing at once —
and have stopped pretending otherwise.
You already know this season requires more than willpower, productivity hacks, or a good attitude.
Ready to understand you don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin —
You may not know what’s on the other side of this yet. But you know you can’t stay where you are.
Open to balancing skepticism with soul-seeking—
You want support that’s both grounded and expansive. Research-backed and deeply felt.
Wanting success that isn’t just about achievement—
it’s about meaning, impact, and contributing to a more just, kind, and sustainable world … without burning yourself out in the process.
Ready for a guide who brings both wisdom and humor—
who sees your wholeness and isn’t afraid to laugh with you along the way
Because thresholds are often messy.
And strange.
And even absurd.
