Hi &amp; thank you for your interest. I&apos;m Kriss, the founder of TheHolisticSolution.net and a trauma-informed Holistic Health &amp; Wellbeing Coach &amp; Mentor,  I love helping people improve their Health &amp; Wellbeing - and ultimately their Life - not just through improving their nutrition &amp; eating but through raising their awareness and shifting/healing those &quot;inner wounds&quot; that we all have but most of us are unaware of, however they keep us going around in circles and all too often result in unhealthy/unhelpful and selfsabotaging habits (e.g. comfort / binge eating, drinking etc or even &quot;just&quot; what I call &apos;comfort shopping&apos;). Does this speak to you?
Perhaps for you it shows in other forms of &quot;avoidance behaviour&quot; and affects how you show up in your business/at work and impacts your performance and growth? If this speaks to you, feel free to reach out and book a free &amp; non-obligatory 20min consult with me to see whether my offerings would be a good fit for you and vice versa. If so, together we will then go on a journey (and the legnth of this entirely depends on the individual) of working on uncovering and releasing stuck emotions, deeper childhood traumas (they are often &apos;small&apos; situations and not necessarily the &apos;obvious&apos; traumatic events that can be spotted easily) and hidden dynamics etc which often contribute to us developing these somewhat limiting behaviours that negatively impact our Health, Wellbeing and our Life!
A common theme I noticed in my clients is an unstable relationship to their father figure - for various reasons e.g. divorce of parents or death of a parent, however this could also be that the father was part of their life and the parents did not divorce but the father was often away for work.
I work with my clients predominantely online either 1:1 and also in my small &amp; bespoke group coaching setting. Together we focus on opening our hearts &amp; embrace doing the (often uncomfortable) &quot;inner work&quot; leading to powerful shifts that lead to improved Health &amp; Wellbeing.
You&apos;re invited to join my &quot;Holistic 9-Day Challenge&quot; which is currently FREE and designed to help you clean up their diet &amp; rebalance: <a href=&apos;https://www.instagram.com/theholisticsolution_/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>https://</a><a href=&apos;http://www.theholisticsolution.net/free&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>www.TheHolisticSolution.net/free</a>
Here&apos;s what others said:&nbsp;
????? &quot;Where people&apos;s suffering comes from...&quot; from a lovely client sharing her experience from a 1 on 1 session with me where we got to uncover the deep connection between the rejection she experienced around her father leaving in her childhood and the unhealthy behaviours around food and self worth etc she has been having in her adult life - and we have been able to shine a light onto that more for her:
&quot;My experience with Kriss was absolutely authentic. She dug deep into my root causes. She really understood my situation and was able to reach out with tools and compassion and understanding of what gave me a wonderful sensation of being whole and completed and healed. I highly recommend Kriss as a coach, a mentor. She is a wonderful wonderful intuitive being who has depths of understanding where peoples suffering comes from and to guide them out into bliss.
So thank you Kriss, it was an amazing session and I&apos;m looking forward to having more. Much love! And this is to you!&quot;

&quot;... It really is true and it is incredible how this whole energy thing works! It really matters and I&apos;m grateful for what I&apos;m learning ...&quot;
&quot;... It is my first experience like that and to be honest: I LOVE IT! It is nice that we can share about ourselves like that and that we are not alone ...&quot;
&quot;... The biggest thing I appreciate about Kriss is that she is someone who knows how to hold space and how to help me become aware of my Emotions and remember my Heart! Because of that I realised my heart IS the key to everything! ...&quot;?
&quot;... I feel really happy that I&apos;m here and that I can finally open myself and NOT feel afraid of somebody judging me. I&apos;m GLAD that I&apos;m here - it&apos;s like it&apos;s opening me a new horizon. Thank you! ...&quot;
&quot;... I FEEL MUCH BETTER - better than at the beginning of the session, thank you, and am excited for this journey and to shift the feelings I have towards myself at the moment like &apos;self hate&apos; ...&quot;
&quot;... What you said about &apos;the unconscious things that drive you&apos; made me become aware of me actually reaching out from some kind of unconscious GUILT to some of my contacts rather than a place of LOVE! ...&quot;
