Hi I'm Krista
Based in the NYC metro area. I'm a 200 & 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Trainer, E-RYT 500, and clinically trained psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience integrating mindfulness, yoga, and evidence-based mental health care.
I consulted and opened wellness studios in Denver, Dubai, China, and NYC as lead director, served as the former yoga teacher for the Denver Nuggets, and now support coaching clients through Lyra Health. My psychotherapy, EMDR, and somatic therapy offerings can be booked through Hudson River Care and Counseling in New Jersey.
I draw on evidence-based Western modalities like Dialectical Behavior Therapy while weaving in over 20 years of Eastern study and somatic practices. This integrative approach offers an alternative to traditional models—one that honors both science and spirit, both structure and softness.
