Lumia Life Coach:
Kristina Balarezo
You will feel heard, encouraged and empowered after a session with me. I will help you uncover what's on your heart, as well as clarifying the goals that will get you where you want go. We will uncover obstacles that are holding you back, and create small and actionable steps to overcome them and move you in the direction YOU want to go while avoiding overwhelm. I am compassionate & understanding, but will give you some tough love and accountability through the process to help keep you honest with yourself. We will move at the pace that works best for you to keep you progressing forward one step at a time.
I am a compassionate but tough-love type of coach who loves to help others build resilience and uncover their energy and zest for life again. I am an empath that feels the emotions of those around her deeply, and my desire is to help others find joy in all of life's circumstances.
I grew up with a privileged upbringing, but I always felt a little out of place since my soul always longed to travel & my passions didn't align with most of the people around me. I struggle with people pleasing, setting boundaries, and following my God-given purpose throughout life - but I am proud of the progress I have made over the years.
My faith in God has played a huge part in my life journey - through 2+ years of living & adapting to life in Peru & Argentina, healing from an emotionally abusive relationship, leaving behind a corporate sales job to pursue my dream with coaching, as well as cultivating a healthy mindset around nutrition & exercise after struggling with body image & confidence for most of my life.
I believe that trials are necessary to gain wisdom and resilience in life and I want to help others embrace that difficult growth process. I believe life is about loving others well, exactly where they are. We are all doing the best we can.
"Working with Kristina was eye opening for me! She was very personable, able to listen to everything I said and displayed empathy. She asked me questions to help dive deeper and allowed me to think about what I needed to do to get back on track! I am off to a healthier me because of my time with her! Thanks Kristina!" -Jessie S.
"I was in a rut for a couple of years after starting and giving up on many exercise programs, stress-eating, and no self-control when it came to sweets. Kristina's coaching around transforming the way I thought about food, exercise and myself was intriguing. She was patient, encouraging, and understanding. She could see my progress even when I could not and related to my struggles. She helped me achieve realistic goals and helped me realize that I was the one holding myself back from a healthy, happy lifestyle. Kristina really caters her coaching to her individual clients and is both supportive and motivating. She herself is an inspiration and I really enjoyed my 12-weeks working with her. I am now making healthier food choices, recently started exercising daily, and added in daily personal development with great books recommended by Kristina." -Amber V.
"Kristina is a deeply passionate and knowledgeable coach. She catered our sessions specifically to my needs and my background. I work a hectic schedule and she worked to schedule our sessions at a time that was convenient for me. Our sessions focused more than solely on nutrition, but also on how I could be better in all aspects of my life. She helped me to understand that I may not see progress clearly each week, but that there would be something that week that I could look back on and feel proud of. I left each session feeling more empowered to attack my goals for the next week. Thank you Kristina!" -Courtney W.
