Meet Kristen Jawad – A Journey of Healing & Connection
Kristen’s path to healing began as a sensitive five year old when she experienced her first hand massage and guided visualization, sparking a lifelong connection to the power of touch and presence. By seven, she sought out her own healing session—a profoundly meditative experience that laid the foundation for her work today.
As a young adult, Kristen stepped into the enchanting world of childcare and natural learning. First, working as a nanny and then directing parenting circles, and mothers support groups igniting her passion for understanding attachment, well-being, and the intricate mind-body connection. This passion led her to pursue a Master’s degree and advanced training in compassionate communication, mediation, restorative practices, life coaching, traditional healing, and spiritual care.
Her approach is deeply rooted in traditional healing arts, which she formally embraced in 1997, becoming licensed and expanding her expertise in life coaching, spiritual care, and Ayurvedic postpartum support.
In 2005, inspired by Marshall Rosenberg, Kristen received mentoring in empathic accompaniment, recognizing the profound impact of listening deeply to emotions and needs. For the past two decades, she has been dedicated to helping individuals, couples, families, and organizations foster healing, trust, and meaningful relationships. Through her work, she integrates brain, body, mind, and soul, offering effective ways to reduce harm, heal trauma, and cultivate resilience.
In her free time, Kristen finds peace walking in the woods near her home in Kirkland, sipping a warm beverage, or engaging in creative projects—all of which inspire her approach to healing and personal transformation.
