Kristin Whitelaw's passion is holistic healing, helping to awaken the true, original spirit, shedding the false self and actualizing the manifestation of who we authentically are in every area of our life - finding peace, joy, creative energy, true power and purpose. Before her studies at UMS, she attained her certification in Clinical Hypnotherapy also working in crisis intervention, guiding others through experiences of abuse and trauma, grief, addiction and emotional pain. Now Kristin is inspired by ceremony and ritual for healing as it helps to connect with sacred realms and facilitates release and rebirth during the process of transformation. She utilizes the use of powerful ceremony during her "Spirit Awakening" retreats. In addition, Kristin is in partnership with her daughter, Alana, in 'Get Planted' - a program to help transition into joyful and fulfilling plant based eating. She has been married to Ian for 34 years living joyfully in Redondo Beach. They have two beautiful daughters - Alana, 32 and Shannon, 30.
