Who I Help
If change keeps slipping, you're not broken
Support that meets you where you are, without pressure to be anywhere else. Does any of this sound familiar?
- You've started over more times than you can count — and the "all or nothing" approach keeps burning you out.
- You want support that sits between counselling and traditional coaching — practical, but human.
- You're ready for sustainable change at your own pace — not another program that demands perfection.

A different way to think about change
Change isn't a light switch you flip once and never touch again. It's built gently, at your own pace — blending lived experience, practical strategies, and self-compassion instead of pressure and perfection.
That philosophy comes from Kerisma's own lived experience with change — the same approach at the heart of her book, The Light Switch Myth.

Featured Book
The Light Switch Myth
Contemporary Approaches to Creating Lasting Change
Rated 4.7 of 5 on Amazon · 4.8 on Goodreads
A beginner's guide to creating realistic and sustainable change — based on Kerisma's own lived experience, blending personal stories, insights, practical strategies, and gentle self-practices. Available in eBook, paperback and hardcover.
"What I gained from your book is hope — the kind that doesn't come from promises of instant change, but from the freedom to grow at my own pace. You gave me permission to be human and reminded me that as long as I keep walking the road, I am moving forward."

New — Companion Journal
Ways I Showed Up for Myself
A 60-Day Self-Gratitude Practice
Rated 4.8 of 5 on Amazon
A 60-day companion journal designed to help you end your days with recognition rather than self-criticism. Instead of generic gratitude or productivity checklists, supportive prompts invite you to notice the small, often invisible ways you showed up for yourself — even when no one else noticed.
A trauma-informed, values-based practice that takes just five to ten minutes — especially lovely as a nightly ritual, shifting bedtime mental loops from self-criticism to self-compassion.
Free Offering
Gentle Movement & Mobility
A free online movement session — nothing special needed. A floor, mat, carpet, or even your bed works well.
The series runs in rounds, and the current one has finished. Here's what it looks like when it runs — register your interest and Kerisma will let you know as soon as the next round is scheduled.
- Usually Sundays at 10:00am PST — about 45 minutes, with roughly 25 minutes of movement.
- Online via Microsoft Teams — no account needed. All ages and fitness levels welcome.
- Cameras completely optional. Modifications provided for chair, bed, couch and floor — just let Kerisma know what your body needs.
Registering costs nothing and commits you to nothing — it simply tells Kerisma there's interest, and puts you first to hear when the next round is set.
The Eight-Module Course
From Pressure to Path

Client Words
What clients say
"Kerisma has kind and logical advice. She has helped me trust my own thoughts and decisions — and made it easier to move forward when I don't meet my own high expectations of myself."
"Working with Kerisma is a wonderful, calming experience. She challenges me to think for myself by providing questions that lead to real solutions. Her perspectives and insights give me hope and possibilities I never considered before."
"Kerisma's approach is perfect for anyone wanting to slow down, reflect, heal, and grow. Her insights, humour, and encouragement are straightforward — but don't let that fool you, it packs a powerful impact for the long game."
Seven client references available — the strongest three appear here.
