Fun facts
Name: Yes, Krishna is my birth name. Avalon is my daughter’s middle name. I decided to take it as my last name.
Why: I do what I do because being a practitioner is my most natural way of being. I came into this world needing to navigate very tricky soul lessons and wounding. I have since learned how to grow into healthy relationship with myself and others. My experience and skill set allows me to guide others from an authentic and embodied place.
Astrology: I’m a Leo sun sign born year of the tiger, Cancer rising, Capricorn moon. I both roar loudly and purr with a giant heart. I feel everything and care deeply.
Human Design: I’m a generator, with sacral authority. 6/2 profile. I love to go until I hit the pillow, doing what lights me up. When I am frustrated, I know it’s time to pause and wait until the path becomes clear.
Enneagram: 8. I don’t know anything about enneagrams other than 8’s are very independent, leader-like, and don’t like to be bossed around. This is all true of me. Though sometimes I try to hide and avoid being leader.
Animal guides: All of them. But especially a white tiger I see in meditation. A couple of shamans have told me there are double cobras assisting me. I’m told cobras represent medicine, but I’m terrified of snakes.
What I want to feel: Love, connection, inspiration, freedom, nature, beauty, and expansion. If I’m not inspired I may be in existential crisis. But that is rare. I think it’s also important to experience.
Favorite meal: Tibetan momo’s, steamed not fried, vegetarian. And a mango lassi.
Top 3 places on my travel list: Morocco, Bali, Iceland
Hobbies: When I'm not working, I'm with my teenage daughter and our dog, ideally outdoors away from people, maybe off grid. I bought a camper van in November 2022 to take my daughter to National Parks while she's still at home living with me. It's been a dream come true, enjoying this precious time with her, communing with nature. Rent our rig on Outdoorsy. #VanLife

Part of my story:
I grew up in Green Bay, WI,, and was raised by a white Catholic mother who came from a family of 17 children. I never met my biological father. I have wonderful memories of swimming all day with my cousin until our lips would turn blue at my grandparents' cottage on the lake in northern WI. I have magical memories of Christmas, singing around the fire, and a very real-looking Santa who showed up every year to deliver presents. As a kid, it felt like freedom to run around with all of my cousins, eating every cookie or swimming in the lake without adults bossing us around. This is where my love of nature and my happiest experiences began. But also, I was the only brown person in that gigantic white Catholic family. My mother was kicked out of town at the age of 20 by my grandparents because she was pregnant with me and didn’t have a husband. She was not allowed to come back until she was married. The father figure I ended up with was angry, toxic, and wounded. The abandonment and betrayal we feel from our mothers in utero is profound. I struggled in life to feel safe. I was always taught to say yes to things I didn’t want to do to earn love and acceptance, and to be a good girl. I was never taught to say no. I was taught to try to fit in where I didn’t belong. The lessons I came into this world needing to navigate as a spiritual being: abandonment, betrayal, self-trust, self-worth, self-esteem, belonging, and boundaries. The reason I can guide you and help you feel safe releasing stress and trauma to expand into the person you’re meant to be - is because I have been through these wounds and have tended them. I have tended them using the very same tools with which I guide you; IFS, PSYCH-K, breathwork, meditation, and my sacred connection to nature.
I can be present with you in what hurts. I can be present with your wounds.
There is a path forward if you want it. I am here with you.
Love, k
