About Kris

I spent more than three decades serving in the military, traveling the world and moving from one mission to the next. I was always in motion focused on serving others, accomplishing the mission, and pushing forward. Rarely did I pause to ask myself how I was feeling or what I truly needed.

Over time, I realized something important: I couldn't fully show up for others until I learned to show up for myself.

After my divorce, I finally had the space to turn inward. I began exploring who I was beyond my career, what I truly desired, and what it meant to live authentically. That journey wasn't just about healing it was about reconnecting with myself in a way I never had before.

When I retired from the military, that personal journey became a professional calling. I immersed myself in the study of relationships, embodiment, intimacy, and human connection, eventually developing what I now call the Embodied Intimacy Framework. It reflects what I've learned through both lived experience and professional training: deeper intimacy begins by reconnecting with yourself.

Today, I help individuals and couples better understand themselves, regulate their nervous systems, create emotional safety, communicate more openly, and build relationships that feel authentic, connected, and fulfilling.

I believe everyone deserves to live free from shame and fully expressed in who they are. That belief led me to train with the Somatica® Institute as a sex and relationship coach and with the Solar Tantra School® as a Tantra teacher. These experiences allow me to combine evidence-informed coaching with somatic and Tantric practices to support each person's unique journey toward greater connection, pleasure, and authenticity.
