Kristen Kruze

👋 Hi there, I'm Kristen!
I am a certified life coach and owner of Unleash YOUnique. My focus in on self-discovery and my passion lies in guiding individuals on a journey to their authentic selves. Drawing from a diverse background in psychology and circus arts, I bring a unique blend of expertise to help you unleash your true potential. My coaching is versatile but it should be noted that no matter what the focus is, my coaching style stems from self-compassion, inner self work, and personal development.

I decided to become a self-discovery coach because of my own life journey. I understand the struggle of feeling out of sync with the rest of the world, debating whether to follow your own path or go down the "expected" route. Each choice I made, from my academic journey to my unconventional career as a professional trapeze artist, was met with criticism and disapproval. I was determined to live life on my terms even if it meant feeling isolated and alone in this world. It wasn't easy and it took years to build the resilience to others' opinions.

This is why I decided to pursue this path. My decision to become a self-discovery coach stems from a deep desire to provide the unwavering support I wished I'd had. I am here for those who have a desire to discover their true selves, who crave authenticity and freedom, free from the burden of external judgment.

It is not just my life experiences that I have to go off of; I also bring a solid background in Psychology to the table. With a Bachelor's in Psychology and Criminology along with my time as a crisis counselor for Helpline 211 and The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, I've gained invaluable knowledge and expertise. While my focus has shifted away from crisis management, those years have left a distinguished mark, influencing not only my personal journey, but also in my ability to connect with and help others.

What working together looks like:

⚖️ No Judgement Zone:
- A space free from judgement, where you can think and speak freely, knowing that you will be met with empathy, support, and guidance.

🌈Tailored To You Coaching:
- Personalized coaching sessions to not only go over concepts, but address how to implement those concepts to your unique needs and goals.

🤝 Empathy and Support:
- Emotional support and understanding throughout your self-discovery journey

🌟Guided Exploration:
-Together, we will navigate your struggles, dismantle your self-limiting beliefs, and rewrite your story

🎢 Personable and fun atmosphere:
-This journey is like a roller coaster, many ups and downs. But it is meant for you to have fun. So I am not one of those all-serious type of coach. I want to get to know who you are in a caring and fun environment. A place where we can discuss serious topics but make it fun and enjoyable

🎯 Goals:
-The goal is to help you achieve your goals. My mission is to empower you to be the best, most authentic version of yourself.

I am dedicated to fostering transformative journeys for individuals who are committed to growth and improvement. My coaching approach is best suited for those who are serious about making positive changes, dedicated to putting in the hard work required for personal development. If you're ready to invest effort and meaningful change, I'm here to guide you. However, please note that my coaching style may not be the best fit for those not fully committed to the process.
