Here's what people are saying...

As the program director of the Executive Health program at The University of Kansas Health System incorporating resilience training and a psychoeducational component to our client's comprehensive health evaluation was a top priority. Kristin's background and wealth of experience was integral in helping launch this valuable feature of our program. Our corporate clients spoke glowingly of Kristin's ability to relate to stressors and demands unique to their professional and personal situations. Moreover, the coaching she provided helped our clients initiate change to deal with these situations in a healthy and effective manner. On a personal level, Kristin is a joy to work with and her insight and professionalism have been treasured by all those who have been blessed to cross paths with her in our office.

Few people can claim to be pioneers in a field, and in my 45 years of experience in counseling and wellness, only a handful stand out; Kristin Webster is one of those individuals. When others caught the early wave of wellness then changed to pursue another trend, Kristin prevailed, in her career and in her personal commitment to wellness and women’s well-being. As the designer and leader of one of the nations first wellness programs AT&T's 'Total Life Concept", I enlisted Kristin to teach classes on Stress Reduction, Weight Management, and Interpersonal Communications. Her skills as a therapist and her in depth understanding of women’s issues resulted in the best outcomes we experienced in the wellness program. To state it simply, Kristin changes lives. Her intellect and knowledge place her among the elite with the therapists I have known throughout my career. Her personal life experiences provide a unique base of understanding that few therapists can offer and she lives the life that she promotes. However, the main thing she offers is something very special, a total commitment to everyone she encounters. When you engage with Kristin you will know immediately that you have her undivided attention and she is interested in one thing only, your well-being and happiness.

I can honestly say I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, and it’s because of the work I’ve done with Kristin and the daily mindset work and tools I’ve learned through coaching with her. Before working with Kristin, I was okay but didn’t feel like I was thriving. I knew I was holding myself back in a lot of ways, and I wanted someone in my corner to help me cultivate more confidence in myself and in my work. Now I’m more confident, more resilient, and more empowered in all areas of my life and my business. Kristin helped me deepen my understanding of myself and my thoughts, feelings, actions - and more importantly, how my thoughts influence my feelings and actions. Not only am I thriving in my relationships and my personal life, but my business is thriving, too, as a direct result of my increased confidence and self-awareness. I am eternally grateful for Kristin and the massive impact she has made in my life.

When I started life and well-being coaching with Kristin, I knew I really needed some help, but I had no idea how transformational the experience would be. I had in one fell swoop incurred losses on every level of my life. As a physician, I had an amazing career I had built with many accomplishments. An unexpected and deeply traumatic career change, family stressors, and the death of my Mother, hit me in one moment. Through coaching with Kristin I have discovered my true self and am committed to daily intentional self-love. I have integrated my love of nature, writing, physical movement, gratitude practice, and self-love into every moment of my every day. Kristin has coached me on career transformation and I am so excited to launch my next venture. Kristin has helped me craft a narrative identity of redemption. Coaching with Kristin has been a true gift in my life.

Kristin's compassion, intellect, and integrity are beyond measure. I will always be grateful for all that I received from her and how she works. Kristin is a remarkable being and it's such a privilege to work with her. I have continued to work with Kristin for clarity coaching because she is the best fit for me, whether it be coach, mentor or both. I was merely surviving, going through the motions to make it through another day of my unhappy and very stressed existence. I often described it to Kristin as being on auto-pilot. A crisis happened that spurred me to get help, and thankfully I was referred to Kristin. Professional, approachable, compassionate, patient and empowering are just a few words to describe this remarkable and humble soul. I have so much respect and gratitude for Kristin's integrity, knowledge and skill sets. If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with Kristin, do not wait for a crisis. I have so much gratitude for this coaching experience and relationship.

Coaching with Kristin has been an incredible journey of self-exploration. Through our work, I received a lot of clarity around my self-sabotaging behaviours and how I can determine my reality through my thinking. Kristin is a warm and supportive mentor. I felt heard and seen by her every session. She creates a safe space for personal growth and has a great understanding of women’s challenges. She asked interesting questions that gave me lots of insights.

Kristin's coaching process was customized to fit the goals I set as we started working together. She listened deeply and provided thoughtful questions as I determined the path forward. I appreciated Kristin's flow of conversation and her prompts to hold me accountable to thoughts and behaviors. She asked excellent questions that made me think. I can see a difference in my behaviors and actions following our sessions, and I have several practical and helpful ways to continue to positively move forward thanks to Kristin. An outstanding investment in me, I highly recommend Kristin as a coach.

I was referred to Kristin for mentor coaching.  I felt personalized attention from Kristin. She reviewed my pre-session questionnaire carefully and was really ready to talk solutions and changes in my thinking immediately, and not spend time on the past.  I appreciated the focus on forward thinking, not overly analytical and looking into the past. Kristin has good coaching vernacular that really captures your mind and forces you to look at things differently, right out of the gate. She has a contemporary view. I felt networked into modern thinking because she's dealing with so many other professionals.  Kristin has a good sense of humor and command of her field.

Through working with Kristin, I have gained invaluable insight into why I move into self-sabotage and specifically what that looks like for me. Her supportive, encouraging, and honest insight into my thought patterns and behaviors has given me the space and perspective to create massive change in my day to day living. She helps me to more clearly see how I can adjust my perspectives in a way that consistently celebrates my strengths and successes. I leave every session feeling refueled, refreshed, and truly seen. Kristin is a gift!

I'm astounded at the progress we made in just ten weeks! I felt stuck for years. I was successful but I was not happy. I knew I needed to be on different path but I could not get out of this rut. It was more than I expected. I feel like I needed more than what I thought was traditional coaching. We explored mental health, mindfulness, and more. Getting that from one person is amazing. In just ten weeks, I have the clarity, confidence, and passion to set out on a completely new journey!

Working with Kristin is one of the best investments I have ever made in myself. My work with her was the missing piece of the puzzle I needed to stop the yo-yo dieting cycle I had been on. She is always so kind and yet still capable of telling me the hard truth I need to hear in a compassionate way. While she helped me immensely with weight loss as that was my primary goal, our work spilled over into the other areas of my life and benefitted them greatly as well.

I reached out to Kristin in the middle of a pretty big career transition thinking she'd tell me exactly how to handle it. Instead, she guided me through a process of self-discovery teaching me the tools to handle this transition and many other future issues that may arise. I found the accountability of coaching to be very helpful. The most helpful part of my initial coaching was that I gained tools that can be applied to any circumstance. I came away with so many different strategies. I believe everyone who is able should do this kind of coaching. I'd recommend anyone who has considered coaching to just go for it.

In launching the first INDULGE event, I reached out to Kristin for her bright spirit and the wisdom. Her support and encouragement played a huge roll in my ability to achieve the execution of the event. What was truly amazing was the words and workshop she shared with the 75 women at INDULGE. She had such an amazing impact on their confidence and strength that I have continued to hear how her words and lessons have been carried on to their every day lives. I am forever grateful that Kristin shares her time and energy with this group.

I have been blessed to know Kristin for over 15 years. She is one of the most grounded, passionate, and authentic leaders I have ever met. She is committed to empowering others to find their strength and true North, and her work is both direct and inspiring. I give her my absolute and 100% highest recommendation!

Working with Kristin Webster was so refreshing. From the beginning, she gave a great outline of how she works which truly helped me focus on specific areas of my life and my reactions to them. As we talked and she asked questions, I became aware of my thoughts and responses and how I manage my life and all that if offers. Her template truly helped simplify the "mind chatter" that can cloud our thinking and helped my focus on truly meaningful areas. While there is always work to, I so appreciate her ability to steer me in the direction of taking good steps to show up and do the work each day.

Kristin has been my thoughtful, honest, and compassionate mentor for 25 years. Among her strengths are an unwavering commitment to those for whom she cares, remarkable listening skills and an empathetic truthfulness that resonates and changes behaviors. I consider it an honor to know and have worked with her.

Chris Monroe

In my work with Kristin at the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Women’s Center, I witnessed her tenacity and authentic desire for helping people discover their best selves. She is a one-of- a-kind advocate with a knack for cutting to the core of complex or difficult issues. Anyone working with Kristin would benefit from her knowledge, her passion, and particularly her genuinely beautiful soul.

Sarah Morris

Assistant Vice Chancellor, University of Missouri

My first encounter with Kristin was as her supervisee in a corporate counseling center. During our work together, she was promoted to clinical director. I was impressed by her finely honed managerial expertise and more in awe of her impeccable boundaries, quick intuitive sense of crisis response and, above all else, humility. Because of her innate sense of empathy, Kristin easily gains trust of people who meet her informally. Her stance with her loved ones, friends and business partners is generally the same: a quick wit, hope-based insight, curiosity and compassion. You will become stronger, wiser, more adept, and confident with Kristin as your mentor/guide; as a practicing psychoanalyst, I seek her counsel frequently and am greatly inspired, soothed and strengthened by her perspective.

There is a time in everyone woman's life when she needs someone who can listen, advise and empower her through life transitions. For me, that someone is Kristin Webster. Kristin's passion for helping women be their best is unwavering. She is a passionate professional who is approachable. Her wisdom, confidence and grace are admirable strengths she has demonstrated through her personal life transitions as well as her professional and volunteer efforts. She is intuitive, perceptive and caring in all her relationships. I can think of no one better to be a life coach.

Dawn Oliver

I have had the privilege of knowing Kristin Webster for more than 20 years and count her as one of the most admired women in Kansas City, and most certainly by me. What distinguishes her from others is that she lives her life totally supporting those around her…. whether it’s her beautiful family, friends, or those in need of guidance. As a parent, she facilitated experiences for her children and many others volunteering with less fortunate families through her many community leadership roles. She has generously provided her expertise in leadership and coaching to the various women’s organizations over the years. As an advisor, she is one of the wisest, most trustworthy and compassionate people I know.

Kristin’s unique blend of gentleness and strength puts me at ease and invites me to learn and grow. She is an extraordinary listener and is committed to helping women discover their own unique calling and purpose in life. I have long admired her ability to develop relationships with a wide variety of people. There is a deep inner peace about her that is inviting and compelling. I would highly recommend that anyone seeking personal transformation or just support during a life transition turn to Kristin for guidance and counseling.

Working with Kristin was like opening a door in my mind I did not know existed. I loved that Kristin offers a cognitive approach to her sessions, focusing on understanding how the mind works and providing tools that help you practice. Every session was tailored to my needs and built beautifully on all of the prior sessions, learnings, and reflections. Kristin taught me that the process of coaching- much like life- is not linear but a cycle. In other words, it is not about crossing off another to do on your list; it is about consistently reflecting and taking the time to see and know yourself.

I did a total of 20 sessions with Kristin. Initially, I came to Kristin for executive coaching as I transitioned from my postgraduate training to a new job. Kristin provided perspective and practical tools to empower me as I started this new stage . We explored productivity tactics, how to manage my time, my relationship with colleagues, and navigate the frustrations that arose as I started a new job. Over time, we started to dive into more general life coaching-exploring themes, thoughts, circumstances, relationships, and past traumas in my life that were influencing how I showed up for myself daily. Every session, Kristen put me in the driver's seat and asked me what was top of mind to work on that. Throughout my sessions, Kristin asked me to keep a journal where I could do thought downloads, keep track of the things I noticed, and then use that as a roadmap for our sessions. She also sent me specific questionnaires with questions to help me reflect and understand how I think of things. Kristin guided how to implement practical tools/habits that helped center, organize and create clarity. For example, she taught me how to journal so that I could download my thoughts on paper and separate fact from thought. This helped habituate and, as Kristin calls it- " incline my mind" towards concrete data about how I was thinking and consequently living every day. Through the practice of journaling, I was able to see the gifts I bring to my work and my relationships (with others and myself) every day. She also provided frameworks for me to organize my thoughts around certain issues. One of the areas I wanted to improve upon was my work productivity. With Kristin's guidance, I incorporated habitual scheduling, making sure I went into my day knowing what I had to do instead of reacting to it.

The process of coaching requires you to return to those reflections consistently, and every time you do, you have more and more clarity. As I worked through the sessions, my self-awareness kept blossoming. One of the biggest gifts I received through Kristin's coaching is the ability to see myself, honor myself, and begin the process of owning who I am and the life I want to build. Whether we talked about work or personal life matters, Kristin was always able to provide tools, and perspective because she truly takes the time to get to know you, to establish trust, and be genuine in how she shows up as a coach. Kristin is warm, intellectual, funny, and very professional- her training and preparation shine every time you talk to her, which made building rapport over the phone easy. She took her time to get to know me before we started and throughout our coaching sessions. I also appreciate the work she puts in taking notes about prior sessions. Without a doubt, I would recommend Kristin, and I will return as a client in the future. Coaching with Kristin has changed my life. I give Kristin my highest recommendation and would recommend her to anyone looking to up-level their life.

Coaching with Kristin proved to be invaluable as it provided insight in identifying, recognizing, understanding challenges that I impose upon myself. I was then given solid, concrete tools with which I could effect change. All of this occurred with emphasis placed on creating a framework of compassion as I move through the process.

Kristin is an extraordinary life coach given her incisive intellect, discerning observations, informative capacity, and ability to support movement. The coaching is superb--the best life-building/illuminating support I've had. I grew more in the first 10-session series than I did throughout all of my therapy experiences. She supported me in working through several major life challenges and sifts and delving into them one-by-one to observe connections and insights across them. I appreciated the dependability Kristin offered and her rational educational feedback and feeling seen and heard as I work to create new life frameworks. I experience progress each time we meet. That's remarkable! During and after each session, I experience movement, clear progress toward shifting into a new life framework. Kristin walked alongside me during one of my most challenging life episodes, and I couldn't be more grateful for her deep and compassionate listening; her useful insights and tools offered. She's among the very best!

Coaching with Kristin has been an incredible experience that I highly recommend. Her demeanor, humor and skill has helped me look at outdated messages and habits that no longer serve me. She has inspired me to live more in the present and appreciate all that I have, and all I have to offer. Thank you Kristin for holding a loving and nonjudgemental space for me to grow.

Kristin really helped push me to think about the value self-care brings. It's typically been an ambiguous, uncomfortable space for me. She gave me the coaching and tools to carve this space out and it's made a real difference in how I approach communication and situations. It's helped me shift from a fear to an opportunity mindset. My coaching experience was way better than I expected. I came in thinking that we'd be focusing more on work-related coaching and some of the run-of-the-mill leadership coaching. Kristin helped me step back and take a deeper assessment of myself and helped me better understand how connected this is to my work. Our sessions felt like productive therapy. She empowered me to do the work and deeper thinking.

I can't say enough about my coaching experience with Kristin! Coaching with Kristin was/is incredibly invaluable and I can't say enough about how much of a REAL WORLD transformation can occur in such a short period of time! She truly over-delivers.

Her coaching was not only about wellness and presence/mindfulness, but also about practicality; providing guideposts and real-world tools we can use daily to move us forward to the successes we want --- building upon and tying everything together to have a course, an internal framework/ritual/guide that we can take with us for any journey, any goal and any dream. The well of our dreams/goals come from wellness. Once we develop/nurture this, everything else can flow from it. I can't believe how fast the course went (I did two, 8-10 week rounds/courses).

Neither can I believe how far I've come in such a short period of time:

* Losing 30lbs in 10 weeks; getting back to moving/exercise.

* Participating in a workplace health competition and ranking 50th (out of 1500 participants)--mind you, at the start of the 30-day competition, I could barely walk 7000 a day-- in 3 weeks I was up to 15,000 and several days during the competition, I had walked over 21,000 steps!

* Creating my own mindful acronyms and daily rituals, which include walking, weight training, eating specific foods as well as journaling.

* And above all, returning to both Presence and, again, to writing music-- something I nearly gave up on.

However, what was most compelling for me was that I also was able to review and redefine the narrative about a certain "dark" period of my life-- a period that was always a nemesis and a dark cloud hovering over me. Through her coaching and inquiry, I found that I was ignoring that I did tap into my own strength and faith. Instead, I assumed that I was the victim and conveyed such in the subsequent mental narrative I told myself; focusing on what was done to me rather than on what I did to reassess, recover, recalibrate, rebuild and reemerge. It no longer was a narrative of overwhelm and defeat but of overcoming and rediscovering my joy. I don't think I would have come to this conclusion as quickly as I did had Kristin not coached me to simply observe, recognize and then purposely discover the truths/facts of that period. I will forever be grateful for this!

ALL of these results were possible with easy-to-follow steps/actions… week by week building upon them and having a daily focus/intention. For me my goal was only focusing on the task at hand; each completed task built on the one before and for me that was the key to success. Just staying present and focused in the now, in the moment. And it was nice to have Kristin as my coach on this (as I had three goals running simultaneously-- but they all were fed by my overall wellness goal/focus).

Again, I cannot believe this beginning transformation and it was truly a little sad that the course came to a conclusion as fast as it did. But I hope to reconnect real soon (in about 4-5 months) for follow-up/check-in coaching! It will be VERY exciting to see what I will accomplish in these next 120 days with the tools Kristin provided/developed through her coaching! If you are thinking about coaching with Kristin, my only advice would be to simply go for it! You won't regret it!

I love working with Kristin. She was able to spot my recurring patterns immediately and this is where we worked. She was patient, she was calm when I needed calm, and she helped me create practices to support me while I was going through a period of transition at work. She came to every session ready to go where I needed to go, because some days I was really stressed, and others I could be more reflective. It didn't matter, she knew exactly where to take me in that moment. I learned some valuable life-long practices. I had multiple “AHA” moments along the way. I love her coaching style, and I learned so much about myself.
