Hi, I’m Krista…

I’ve been an apprentice to sensuality for over 23 years, founding The Project for Urban Intimacy in 2001 which used art and community-based play to explore the ways we can use desire, pleasure and fun to reimagine our lives and our worlds. Over the past 20 years — as a professor, visiting artist and guest speaker — I’ve worked with thousands of individuals to help them ask questions, unlock creative thinking and turn-on to their most creative selves. 

My journey into this work began early, I studied with a Curandera and received my second level Reiki certification at 16. I received my MFA from Carnegie Mellon University and was an art professor before becoming an Artistic Director at a world-renowned artist workshop and residency program, Anderson Ranch Art Center. After that I ran my own design business for 13 years while receiving national and regional grants for my art work. However, it was the dark night of the soul I faced after the birth of my child that truly transformed me, aligning my life with sacred pleasure and igniting a passion for facilitating lasting change in others. Through advanced mentorships in Mind/Body Medicine, Qigong, Tapping, and Pleasure Coaching, I’ve honed my skills to blend embodiment, pleasure, sensuality, and creativity into a powerful toolkit.

Are you ready to unleash your inner goddess, discover your genius, and manifest a mind-blowing life? I’ve had decades of education, experience, and practice so you don’t have to! I am here to simplify and amplify your journey; to find exactly the right tool at just the right moment to help you bring your vision boldly into the world like the powerful AF Goddess you are!

I’ve been there

  • Wanting it all — paralyzed by my own desires

  • Trying to find clarity

  • Feeling small in my body — or leaving her entirely

  • Spinning in “shoulds”

  • Losing my magic to someone else’s plan

  • Not being able to step out of the belief that I didn’t know enough or that it had to be perfect for me to begin.

I left academia — 10 years as a professor and the Program Director of a world-renowned artist workshop and residency center.

I had helped thousands realize their own vision. Meanwhile, mine was on the back burner.

A voice inside me begging, when is my time?!

Next, I started a successful business in branding and marketing. I still felt like I was leaving my dreams on the table.

In 2017 I became a mom. My old self was completely annihilated. Creative projects? Nope. Desire? Zilch. Mojo? Wha’t s that?

And my body was now screaming at me with issues: anxiety, insomnia so bad I started hallucinating, Gerd.

I used everythng I had leadned in my 30+ of studying healing, EFT, QIGong, Reiki, Mind body medicine. Add it helped but… I still felt like something was missing. It was my desire, my vision, my purpose, my pleasure.
