Get To Know Krystal

There was a time in my life when I couldn’t look people in the eye. When a kind compliment would send me rushing out of the room—bursting into tears because I believed they must have been making it up. 

The start of my life had many trials and hardships. I didn’t know how to cope with the cards I was dealt which left me anxious, angry, sad, and untrusting. I decided the only way to handle life was to create walls around myself and remain inside them, where everything felt safe and protected. 

 Through a series of unfortunate events, I found myself alone, in a hotel room on a remote island in Thailand, quite certain I was about to die. I had hit rock bottom, and no one had any idea.

​I realized this strategy of shutting out the world wasn’t going to work. I was either going to have to radically change everything in my life or I would be done here on this earth.

I spent the next eight years searching out every method of healing I could find, from an ashram in Cambodia to ayahuasca ceremonies in Costa Rica, traditional counseling, yoga training—I tried it all.

At the end of the day, it was something so simple that brought me back to myself in the most profound way.
