Read all on GoogleA Truly Transformative Retreat Experience. Krista is a truly beautiful soul and an incredible meditation and yoga teacher. I had the pleasure of attending one of her retreats this year, and I received far more than I could have ever signed up for. Krista offers support and guidance that genuinely comes from the heart, sharing her knowledge and wisdom so freely and joyfully. The retreat itself felt like an alchemy of flow, deep relaxation, and guided practices. It was more than just a getaway; it was a vacation for my nervous system, a reset for my mind, and inspiration for my heart. You leave not just refreshed, but equipped with tools you can actually implement into your daily life. Krista is the perfect person to reach out to whether you want to start meditating with a time-proven technique or book a retreat that will support you long after you return home. She embodies the roles of a gentle guide and a joyful friend, always ready with a smile and a laugh. If you are hesitating, consider this your sign—reserve your spot on the cushion next to her!
Attending Krista’s meditation retreat in Bali was a genuinely enriching experience. Her deep knowledge of Vedic meditation and the way she shares it is both inspiring and accessible. Krista brings both warmth and clarity that made it easy to settle into the practice. Throughout the retreat, she guided us with a steady, intuitive presence—blending traditional Vedic principles with modern insight in a way that felt both timeless and completely relevant. This retreat left me feeling deeply re-centered and with a renewed appreciation for the simplicity and depth of Vedic meditation. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a meaningful and restorative journey inward.
I have had the privilege of attending two of Krista's rounding retreats and each experience has profoundly expanded my heart in transformative ways. Krista's ability to hold space, provide nourishment and guide the retreat is truly incredible. Krista's immersive retreats stand out as unique, going beyond any other experiences I have encountered. Thank you, Krista, for curating these retreats that have become pivotal moments in my personal and spiritual journey.
I have known Krista for over a decade, and her passion for Vedic Meditations has always been a big part of who she is as a person. Over countless conversations I have seen how much this practice has changed her life for the better so I recently decided to take the plunge and learn Vedic meditation myself with Krista. From the outset it was awesome how Krista was genuinely excited to take me on the journey. She talked me through the process and gave a plenty of opportunities for questions. And for someone who isn’t exactly spiritual I fully enjoyed the process, the ceremony and the follow up conversations. It was amazing to see that side of Krista. I fully and wholeheartedly recommend Krista as a teacher to take you through what will undoubtedly be a life changing experience. Thank you Krista.
Krista taught me the life changing skill of Vedic meditation with warmth, care, and her amazingly calm and positive energy. This world is insanely busy and it can be incredibly difficult to maintain inner peace and calm, as well as a sense of self. Krista’s simple and thoughtful approach to teaching Vedic meditation makes it so easy to understand and start practicing straight away. It has dramatically improved my sleep and given me tools to help calm my busy mind, overthinking and reduce overwhelm. I can’t imagine not meditating! Thank you Krista - I thoroughly enjoyed learning this ancient wisdom, and sharing beautiful meditations (and a lot of laughs!) with you over the four days. I highly recommend Krista’s beginner course to everyone.
