Kristin Rivas is a Certified Hypnotist currently practicing in the Eastlake area of Seattle, Washington. As a Master of Conversational Hypnosis, Kristin is devoted to helping people THINK, FEEL, and LIVE better! Her passion for inspiring positive transformations in others comes from a deeply personal and profound change experience herself. In 2008, Kristin’s life became devastated by illness, havi

ng pseudoseizures up to 9 times a day. She had to use a wheel chair or walk with the aid of cane while wearing a helmet. After repeated CAT scans, EEG’s, MRI’s and other neurological testing, an expert neuro-psychologist at the Mayo Clinic diagnosed Kristin with: P.T.S.D., Conversion Disorder, and Major Depressive Disorder. After medications, counseling, and other forms of therapy failed, a miracle happened after a single hypnotherapy session. All previously troubling symptoms vanished after just 3 hours of one Rapid Trauma Resolution session. Since recovering her health in June of 2009, she went on to study with founder of Rapid Trauma Resolution Therapy, Dr. Jon Connelly, the hypnotherapist who treated her. She has also studied under other master hypnotists since, such as Igor Ledochowski and Don Mottin, and will continue to train all over the world, improving and diversifying her skills to be the best possible hypnotist for her clients. She is a member of such prestigious organizations as the National Guild of Hypnotists, the International Medical, Dental, and Hypnotherapy Association as well as the International Association of Counselors and Therapists. Kristin moved to Seattle from Orlando, Florida in July of 2010 where she has since enjoyed building her new life, including a hypnosis practice, in this great city. She has also since become the host of Mind Talk on KKNW 1150 AM on the Chat With Women Network. Kristin intends to continue fulfilling her heart’s dream of helping people find a way to overcome issues that have been holding them back. Whether it is stress or pain management, recovering from heartbreak, a loved one’s passing or other traumatic events, breaking bad habits, losing weight, sleeping soundly, or overcoming fears, Mind Talk Hypnosis is an avenue to promote healing for those in need.

“If you can take anything with you from my story, I hope it is the belief that profound life changes and healing are possible, real and yours for the taking! All you need to do is be open to the possibility and follow through on the opportunities for a solution until you find what is going to work for you.”

Sometimes life doesn't change gradually. It changes in a single decision, a single session, a single moment where the floor shifts underneath you and you know you can't go back.

That's a quantum leap. Not the motivational-poster version. The real one.

The kind where you wake up and some version of your life is over. When a new one is already assembling itself in its place. The routines don't fit anymore. The people you were performing for don't have the same pull. The risk you've been avoiding for 2-20yrs suddenly feels less dangerous than staying where you are.

I've lived this more than once.

At 22, I recovered from F.N.D. in a single hypnotherapy session after years of being told I'd have to manage it forever. That's the session I talk about in my TEDx.

At 23, I got a divorce & moved from Florida to Seattle alone, w/ no safety net, to start my own practice. 16yrs & 4k+ clients later, that practice still runs mostly on referrals.

Over the last 2 yrs, after a difficult ending w/ a former mentor, & a series of experiences at a retreat I'm only just beginning to talk about publicly. I've been through the biggest identity reorganization of my adult life. I unpack all of it in my recent convo w/ on her Overflow podcast S3:Episode 10

Here's what I know about quantum leaps from living them & from facilitating them for almost two decades:
They don't come from trying harder. They come from a specific kind of shift at the nervous system level. The level where identity actually lives. You can't strategize your way there. You can't affirm your way there. You have to 🧠wire there.

What I've excelled at, across 10k+ hrs of sessions, is spotting the exact block within the first 20 mins of meeting a client. Even when they've worked on it for yrs. Even when it's a blind spot their coach, therapist, or last 5 modalities missed. Then I use my Align Shift Integrate method 🪄✨️.

That's not a flex 💪😉 It's the reason my practice has run on referrals for 16 yrs. People come to me when they're done circling it. When they're ready for the shift to actually happen, in as painless & empowering a way as possible.

Something shifted in me at the Overflow retreat with .

I was in a room full of women earning more than me. Women with bigger platforms, bigger numbers, bigger reach.

And not one of them made me feel small.
Not a single backhanded compliment. Not a trace of "oh that's cute" energy. Just genuine, heartfelt, I see you, I'm rooting for you, there is more than enough room — from women who have actually proven that to be true in their own lives.

I didn't realize how much I had been bracing for the opposite until I noticed I wasn't bracing at all.

There's a phenomenon in nature called crown shyness. Trees that grow tall stop just short of touching each other — leaving these beautiful winding gaps of sky between their canopies. Scientists think it's a protection mechanism. Keeps branches from breaking in the wind. Keeps insects from spreading. Makes room for light to reach everything below.
I think a lot of women do this with each other without knowing it.

We grow toward the light. And then, just before we touch — just before we're close enough to actually be seen by someone at our level — we pull back. Create a little gap. Stay just far enough away that the risk feels manageable.

What I experienced at Overflow was the opposite of crown shyness.

It was women who had grown tall leaning in. Sharing the canopy. Letting the light through.
That's the energy I'm building Embodied Expansion 2.0 around.

A 4-month mastermind for coaches, therapists, and entrepreneurs who are ready to stop doing this work alone — and ready to be surrounded by women who think they're a big deal, who know you're a big deal, and who will call you forward instead of keeping you comfortable.

We go deep. Nervous system work. Brain-based process work. Real implementation. Real community.
And we do it together, with love, fun, and creative energy.

There are 2 spots available at the founding rate of $555/month before it moves to $777/month.
If you want the details DM me EE555 & I'll send them over.

This is the room I wish I'd been in sooner. Join us.

As a well known hypnotherapist since my early 20's, I spent years sitting across from people who had everything the world said would make them happy.

Famous. Wealthy. Accomplished. Admired. I watched, up close, how none of it was the actual thing that = wellness.

Not the $ Not the recognition. Not the house or the career or the looks. The happiness didn't live there. At least, not the lasting kind.

Harvard's longest-running study on human happiness (75+ yrs, 1000s of participants) confirmed what I was watching in my practice: the single greatest predictor of a long, healthy, satisfying life wasn't income, achievement, or status. It was the quality of your relationships.

Daniel Kahneman's research found that emotional wellbeing stops increasing meaningfully around $75k/ yr for most people. Not because money doesn't matter at all, but because beyond a certain threshold, what we're actually hungry for isn't more money. It's more meaning, impact, love, + moments we actually remember.

There's something even more specific: research by Sonja Lyubomirsky on savoring, the act of genuinely absorbing a good moment as it's happening, found it to to be one of the most reliable pathways to sustained happiness. Not achievements.

Abundance isn't a destination you arrive at when the number is big enough. It starts now, it lives in the now.
It's a nervous system state you learn to inhabit.

That state — the gratitude, the savoring, the presence, the authentic joy, the investment in health and relationships over performance — is also, not coincidentally, what makes you magnetic to the clients & opportunities you actually want.

Your subconscious doesn't chase what it fears. It draws toward what it genuinely values.

If you've been holding yourself back from growing your income or your impact because something in you believed that more would mean less of yourself, I was there, I get it.

Know you can want & have both. Intending both, from a full & grounded place, is the most aligned thing you'll ever give yourself permission to do.

The most expensive thing a coach can carry isn't a bad offer or the wrong niche.

It's the quiet belief that they're not quite worth what they're charging.

Your clients feel that.
When you hesitate and your voice changes as you say the number.
It's encoded in the words of your content.
It shows in your offerings.

This quiet belief is what three sessions of my Embodied Expansion surfaced & started shifting for a group of entrepreneurs this spring.

The exact place where knowledge of your value and embodiment of it are living in two completely different parts of your nervous system. Our sessions were spent rewiring, retraining, and bridging that gap.

We're going again. Deeper this time. 😎

*Embodied Expansion 2.0* is an intimate 4-month mastermind for coaches and practitioners who are ready to close the gap between what they know they're worth and what they can actually hold in a room.

Not strategy.
Not another framework.
Nervous system level work — the kind that changes what happens in your body when the number gets real.

Only 2 spots available at $555/month.

Price goes up to $777/month when they're gone.

DM me EE555 to get the deets and claim your spot.

If you’re on the edge of a level up, you get what it's like to see a potential future calling to you and know it means A LOT IS GOING TO RADICALLY CHANGE.

Calling all business women leaders who feel the call to level up calling to them. 🫶 📞

A big thank you to for seeing the untapped leadership and overflow potential in me and my life. Your Overflow Retreat left every woman who attended in a different timeline of quantum potential. 🥰

This is what I always loved about assisting clients...being able to have life changing conversations where radical shifts are created in the most beautiful ways. Old limiting habits, beliefs, and identities, dropped 🫳🎤🙌💞

Enjoying the iconic Overflow Retreat in beautiful Sedona.

Day 1 and we've already laughed, cried, and shared so many Aha/Breakthrough moments together - you'd think the whole group had known each other for years.

It's really amazing to see what kind of magic happens when you get a group of caring women with similar values into community.

Can't wait to see what Day 2 holds. 💞💖🏜✨️🎇

What if your mind and nervous system read a "sales" conversation as your first opportunity to assist a potential client with making the best decision for them?

What if there wasn't any history or fear or projection playing into the dynamic - just pure, genuinely caring, grounded presence and clear energy coming through?

What if you saw these moments as a way for you to lead and set a tone that was totally free from any contaminated sense of scarcity but 100% belief in possibility for both parties?

What if these moments were honored as an exciting opportunity to activate growth, gifts, or gratitude rather than a false story of take/loss or some dishonest, manipulative, power dynamic?

DM SOS me for an audio on the science of sales made especially for coaches and therapists 😉🤑
