Kersten Chisti Dryden

Hello kind stranger,

I am a Certified Health Coach and Life Coach dedicated to supporting individuals in achieving holistic well-being and personal growth. Using a strengths-based, collaborative approach, I help clients navigate life transitions, affirm their identity, and cultivate balance and purpose.

My practice integrates humanistic principles, positive psychology, and resilience-based strategies, emphasizing each person's innate capacity for growth and change. Many challenges stem from a lack of unconditional support, and while we cannot change the past, we can work together to establish a foundation of self-acceptance and empowerment.

In our sessions, we will explore the narratives that shape your life, identifying opportunities to reframe limiting beliefs and foster meaningful transformation. 

I provide a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where clients of all backgrounds can thrive.

My approach incorporates evidence-informed techniques and accessible tools, including meditation, Tibetan Nejang healing yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Mental Health First Aid. I specialize in guiding individuals through significant life changes, career transitions, and identity affirmation, offering both practical strategies and compassionate support.

Life Coaching

Are you looking for support in shaping your life path? I offer a psycho-spiritual perspective and can help you map out the big picture to the smallest details, setting achievable goals along a direct trajectory to your realized dreams.

Career Guidance

If you are seeking to navigate career transitions or discover your true calling, I offer guidance to discover your inner knowing. 

Relationship and Love Coaching

Deepen friendships, repair relationships with family and loved ones, or attract love into your life.  
Health Coaching

Similar to life coaching, this framework focuses on a holistic picture of wellbeing, examining and balancing the eight dimensions of wellness. These include Emotional, Environmental, Financial, Intellectual, Occupational, Physical, Social, and Spiritual realms.

Health Behavior Change

Looking to elevate your health? Want to feel younger and have more vitality? I'm passionate about helping clients make lasting changes in their health and wellness. Possible topics include lifestyle changes, nutrition, and physical well-being.

Nutrition Evaluation and Guidance

Need more energy or want to lose weight? Together, we will evaluate your diet and lifestyle to create the most effective plan for your goals. We'll begin with small, easy changes.

Tobacco Cessation

If you are a tobacco user, chances are you want to quit but don't feel ready, or you don't think you can quit, or you feel guilty or pressured to quit by others. I can help you to gain clarity and determine your best route to quitting, on your own terms and on your own timeline. 

Stress Relief

In today's uncertain and fast-paced world, having the skills to manage stress and anxiety is crucial for overall well-being.

I provide effective strategies for stress relief, and self-help interventions to stabilize the nervous system and return to calm in any situation. These interventions bring freedom of choice in how we act or react, and aid in reclaiming our birthright to dignity and integrity.
End of Life Doula Coaching

Are you or a loved one facing the end of life? This is a sacred time, in which there is great potential for discovering meaning in the overall arc of life,  legacy planning, and creating lasting memories for loved ones. Fear and anxiety about the end of life can interfere with our last wishes and creative desires. What is there that needs attention at this time? I am here to create the space for you to explore your spirituality, your creativity, and your memories. I am here to witness, to listen, and to be your support in this time of reflection and acceptance.

Every moment offers an opportunity for transformation, change, growth, acceptance, peace, and joy. It is never too late.
