About Us
About the Owner…
Krista has a unique blend of experience as both a therapist and an aviation enthusiast, she understands the complexities of a pilot's lifestyle. Krista has served as an embedded therapist within a special operations flying unit, gaining firsthand insight into the mental health challenges faced by those in the aviation field. Having logged her own hours in the cockpit, and having several pilots within her family, she knows the demands and pressures of the profession—both in the air and at home. She is passionate about providing discreet, confidential and effective support for pilots who may be hesitant to seek traditional mental health services due to concerns about how it could impact their career. Her approach focuses on enhancing personal resilience and professional performance, without the stigma. She’s here to help you navigate the challenges of life as a pilot, so you can continue to soar both personally and professionally.

Disclaimer
In addition to being a coach, some of our coaches are licensed therapists with specialized training and experience in diagnosing and treating emotional and psychological issues. While coaching and psychotherapy share some similarities, we do not provide psychotherapy to our coaching clients. These are distinct services, and it is important to understand the differences between them. Although both coaching and therapy draw on principles of human behavior, motivation, and change, they differ significantly in their goals, focus, and level of intervention. As your coach, we cannot serve as your therapist. If at any point we identify a concern that would be better addressed through therapy, we will refer you to the appropriate resources for further support.
