Kristin Rivas Hypnotherapy, NLP, & Brain Health Coaching services to help you remove the blocks to living your bes

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, having 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.”

This season can be beautiful but I know it isn’t always easy.

For many, it’s layered—beautiful and heavy…
full of memories, expectations, grief, hope, and quiet longing.

So I created something from my heart to yours 💛

A short, gentle guided experience designed to help you feel loved, encouraged, and supported...

no matter what this year has held…
no matter how you’ve been treated…
no matter how you’ve treated yourself.

It’s a Christmas blessing focused on love, grace, and abundance.

I've made it available in two versions:

🙏 one with prayer and spirituality based language ✨️
🧘‍♀️ one without any religious connotations 🧠

Both are under 10 minutes.

Both are meant to warm your heart, soften your nervous system,
and remind you of the strength, goodness, and potential you carry.

You don’t need to fix anything.
You don’t need to be in the “right” mood.

Just press play… and receive.

If you’d like this free gift, DM me the word “LOVE” and I’ll send it to you 💌

May this season meet you with gentleness. 🕊

And may you always remember that you are deeply worthy of love.

Struggling with time management, anxiety, sleep, self-care, play, creativity, or mindfulness lately?

You’re not alone and your mind might just need a gentle reset. ✨🧠

My “Time and a Place” Meditation is a 10-minute mental organizer that helps your nervous system relax while guiding your brain to naturally sort your day into what makes sense, when it makes sense.

Inside this session, you’ll get suggestions that:
🕊️ Ease anxiety
🗂️ Create a calmer sense of order and productivity
🧘🏽‍♀️ Make space for self-care and creativity
⏱️ Support follow-through and timeliness
😴 Sleeping well because your mind actually feels settled

If your days have felt chaotic, overwhelming, or rushed… this is the reset your system’s been craving.

Give your brain a place to breathe and let it reorganize your day for you.

✨ Mp3 Time: 10 minutes

Food for thought today...

“The most important ingredient for transformation is attention. Because where your attention goes, your life goes.” — Christian Dillon

Neuroscience keeps confirming this truth: attention is the lever that changes the brain.

Research on mindfulness and focused awareness has shown that intentionally directing your attention can update the default mode network. 🧠

That's the part of the brain tied to rumination, self-referencing, and old unconscious patterns.

Studies from Harvard, Yale, and Stanford have found that mindfulness practices reduce DMN activity and increase connectivity in regions responsible for emotional regulation, creativity, and perspective-taking.

In other words:
✨ Where you place your attention, you rewire your reality.
✨ What you notice, you strengthen.
✨ What you stay conscious of, you can finally change.

How do you get a client to experience mindfulness when they're judgemental AF?

How do you make it novel, appealing, interesting, exciting or even sexy? 😎

These are the exact principles behind the brain-based healing techniques I teach inside my Skool community.

Practical, transformative methods rooted in neuroscience, somatic awareness, and conversational hypnosis...

And oh yeah, most importantly we make it all fun! 😉

If you’re ready to guide clients (or yourself) into deeper, more consistent breakthroughs… come learn with us.

Date night fun at Barnes & Nobles hanging out before going to see the Running Man. Had a blast 🥰

Last pic is of my husband's "new toothbrush"...at least that is what he called it when I asked why the heck he'd put a stick in his toothbrush holder all of the sudden. 😅

Guess his ad algorithm has been noticing we're into organic natural products but it's a little much if you ask me. 😏

Next thing I know he will have replaced our bed with one of those horse hair mattresses and we'll be drawing our water from a well in the backyard. 🤣

Ahhh maahwidge (said Princess Bride style)... You never know what you're gonna get (said Forrest Gump style).

As we head into the holidays—at a time when so much is happening in our country and across the world—this message feels more powerful than ever.

Anne Frank’s diary shaped me deeply.
So did Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning.
And I still tear up thinking about that scene in Mr. Holland’s Opus—an entire auditorium filled with people whose lives were changed because one person showed up with heart and purpose.

These influences, along with being raised a pastor’s daughter, formed my core values: love, contribution, and service.

I’ve learned that most healers, coaches, and therapists are driven by these same currents. We care. We pour into people. We want to leave the world better than we found it.

As we enter a season meant to honor our blessings, may we also recognize the quiet, extraordinary impact we have on each other—every conversation, every session, every act of courage or kindness.

You don’t have to wait to make a difference.
You never did.

Never under estimate how much your life and your actions matter...
How they add up to either a life unfulfilled or a life well lived...
A community well cared for or lonely, hurting, and neglected neighbors.

What kind of impact do you want to have on the world? 🌏

This is a question I ask myself, one that guides my decisions everyday.

My own vision gets clearer every day… and it’s one of the greatest honors of my life to assist clients and fellow healers in fulfilling their own visions for a life well lived and a world well served.

Together we create a positive ripple effect in this world that lasts for generations to come. ✨

Every version of me in these collages had no idea she was gathering the lessons I’d one day teach.

That’s one of the coolest things about being a coach, therapist, or healer—your entire life becomes material for transformation. 😉

Artists turn their lived experiences into inspiration…
We turn ours into teaching tales.

There’s both an art and a science to great storytelling.
A structure. A skill set.

A way of sharing your journey so it reshapes a client’s mindset and moves them toward action.

It’s one of the core abilities we’re training inside my Skool Community. 🤓

But here’s the truth:

You have to be far enough along in your own healing to see the message inside the mess…

To speak from clarity instead of still reliving the pain.
It becomes so much easier to help clients live without regret or trauma when you’ve reached that place yourself. 🕊

And if you want to inspire clients to live with courage, take action, and face their fears—your voice carries a different power when you’re doing the same. 💯

Every day I’m reminded what an honor it is to walk with clients on their healing journeys… to witness life-changing results happen right there in a session… breakthroughs they’ve been waiting on for years.

What a privilege it is to do work that feels this meaningful and magical. 🙏💖

Getting breakthroughs for clients isn't always easy and yet it's still so rewarding and compelling...an awesome challenge.

I never know how far the ripple effects will reach—into their relationships, their health, their confidence, their careers, even the people they go on to help.

Sometimes I’m not sure who’s more excited or grateful… my clients or me.

If you’re looking for a breakthrough, you can book a session on my website.

And if you’re looking for the skills to create more consistent, powerful breakthroughs for your own clients, join my Skool community.
