Get to Know Your Guide
True authority is forged in the fire of experience. Through dedicated spiritual study, rigorous practice, and consistent, devoted action, I have transformed severe adversity into an enduring foundation of dignity, strength, and resolve. Today, I serve executives, high achievers, and leaders who are ready to break through internal plateaus, reclaim their self-trust, and align their outer success with their deepest truth.
Grounded in nearly two decades of experience in high-intensity, high-stakes environments—spanning workplace compliance investigations for the University of California to clinical interfaith chaplaincy—my approach integrates time-tested contemplative wisdom from Christian and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. I partner with leaders to restore their inner alignment and authority—guiding them to transform adversity into purpose, lead with moral courage, and step fully into the light and impact they are called to bring to the world.
About Fidelis
Illuminate Your Path to Mastery and Alignment
I transformed severe adversity into post-traumatic growth over a 30-year journey.
I now partner with executives and leaders to bypass years of trial and error—accelerating their own alignment and achieving in months what took me decades to master alone.

The Inspiration Behind Fidelis
Fidelis is the fruit of a 30-year spiritual journey integrated with a lifelong commitment to service. My calling as a spiritual coach and guide arose directly out of deep contemplative practice. In 2011, during a pivotal moment of spiritual realization, I experienced a palpable, electrifying sensation of Divine energy coursing through me. I recognized this experience as a gift from my Creator and felt it as profoundly restorative of my own possibilities, agency, and wholeness.
That moment illuminated my life’s mission: to cultivate and share the gifts of Spirit with others seeking their own alignment with God’s will for transformation and true empowerment. Rather than viewing my past challenges as limitations, I recognized them as the very forge through which my capacity to guide others was born. Today, I leverage this hard-won wisdom to help leaders transform adversity into opportunity, clarity of vision, moral courage, and lasting impact for all they serve.
Voices of Healing
Best experience ever. I was so relaxed. It opened my top chakra and flooded through my body. It was absolutely soothing. Will definitely be going back. Would highly recommend for anyone going through grief, stress and anyone needing support or wellness.

One session with Kristen changed me from a person who knew very little and was skeptical into a person that now believes energy healing is now possible online because I felt it in my body. Kristen's personal story of healing from trauma and her desire to help others heal is another reason I highly recommend her.

Kristen is an amazing and passionate Reiki Provider. She has used her own life experience to inform the work she does - in this way, Kristen is knowledgeable of various spiritual principles and respectful of those seeking answers. She cares so deeply for those with whom she works. That's why she is the only one I trust with my Reiki work.
