I'm Coach Crystal
I'm a Life and Mindset Coach dedicated to helping you break free from the cycle of burnout, stress, and overwhelm.
My journey with burnout, anxiety, and chronic stress began early. Growing up around aging relatives, I developed an acute awareness of time and a deep-seated fear of it slipping away. From the age of 8, I began watching loved ones pass, leaving me with a sense of urgency and pressure to accomplish everything quickly, to live up to everyone’s expectations before time ran out. This constant race with time—and the stress of always trying to do more—took a toll on my health and well-being.
Now, I’m dedicated to helping others free themselves from the relentless pressure of burnout, ease their anxiety, and find peace with time. I’ll guide you to release the weight of expectations and rediscover a balanced, fulfilling life.
My journey with chronic stress, burnout, and anxiety began early. At 12, I became a caregiver to my sick parent, which intensified an already fearful outlook on life. With the added responsibility, I often felt lost and alone. The weight of wondering if my mom would pass away triggered chronic stress that followed me into adulthood. I also fell into patterns of codependency and people-pleasing, which led to deep shame, guilt, and trauma, impacting family dynamics, my self-esteem, and my closest relationships. It was here I met my harshest critic—an unrelenting inner voice that insisted I was unworthy of joy and success.
For decades, I felt like I was spinning, with no tools to guide me—just walking aimlessly, living to meet others' expectations. I spent years caught in unhealthy patterns, unaware of the toll they were taking on my well-being and my relationships. Well into my 30s, I finally saw how destructive my behaviors had become—not only to myself but also to those I loved. I knew I needed to change.
Struggles
Longing for the constant self-criticism to end, I began a journey of self-love and healing, creating a safe space for my true self to emerge. This wasn’t just a chapter; it was a new beginning for the rest of my life. Growing up guarded and isolated, I was determined to break free, step fully into my light, and let my authentic self shine.
These real, life-shaping experiences have equipped me with the insight and empathy needed to guide my clients toward a life they not only desire but genuinely deserve. I help them learn to advocate for their own needs, goals, and dreams. With enthusiasm, grace, and strength, I coach them through transformative journeys toward self-love, resilience, and self-discovery.

I wish I had known back then what I know now. My inner child deserved healing, freedom from shame and guilt, and a chance to discover her own voice far earlier in life. But I’ve come to understand that everything unfolds in its own time, and that timing has been a powerful teacher on my journey.
Even now, I still experience burnout, stress, and anxiety. I catch myself slipping into old thinking patterns. But now, I have the tools to guide me back, helping me make new choices, rewire my brain, and choose a different path. I’ve come to embrace time and even death as a kind of friend—a reminder of what truly matters and a fuel to live a life I am proud of, one that those I’ve lost would be proud of, too.
Conquering My Fear
By committing to this inner work and trusting my instincts, I’ve transformed, blossoming into my most authentic, empowered self. Discovering coaching was the turning point—when I finally took charge of my life.
Now, I’m here to guide others on a similar journey, helping them pursue the life they truly desire and deserve. Together, we uncover their true vocation—their calling—and learn to pursue it without the weight of burnout, freeing them to live fully and confidently. With every step, I empower my clients to build lives filled with purpose, passion, and peace.
When I’m not working with my amazing clients or continuing my coaching education, I’m running my fitness business with my husband. I also have a successful career as an Executive Assistant in Silicon Valley. When I have downtime, I enjoy spending time with my two Pit Bulls – Nike and Tank. I love writing, dancing, coffee, traveling, Disney, scented candles, lazy days watching movies, and nerding out with my comic book community. I'm a bodybuilder and continue to pursue my goals relentlessly!
