Beat the Winter Blues
Find Joy and Connection with Like Minded Women
Do Winter Months Leave You Feeling Disconnected, Unmotivated, and Down?
I understand how the cold and the gray skies can make us feel trapped, isolated, and overwhelmed by negative feelings. It's not just the chill in the air; it's the weight of the season pressing down on our spirits, leaving us feeling isolated and overwhelmed by negative emotions. But what if this winter could be different?
Beat the Winter Blues
Is more than just a group—it's a supportive, empowering journey designed to help women navigate winter's emotional landscape with grace, warmth, and vitality. Now in its second year, this program has been crafted to turn winter from a season of discontent into one of renewal and connection.
The next group starts November 16th, 2024.
Read on for more information, I look forward to seeing you this winter.
“Beat the Winter Blues was like a spot of sunshine to look forward to on a regular basis this last winter. The group was safe and supportive, and I learned new strategies for flourishing in life in the program content. I would feel comfortable with any program by Dr. Kristina. If winter is hard for you, don’t hesitate to do this one!”

Beat the Winter Blues Words of Appreciation
“Beat the Winter Blues program is hosted by one of the loveliest people I have ever met. Kristina's kind and compassionate guidance provided us with tools to address holistic health while offering us a supportive environment to form authentic connections with other women. It helped me reestablish my personal meditation practice and gave me clarity on what really matters. Don't pass up the opportunity to join a community of women to meditate and support each other through Spokane's challenging winters, you won't be disappointed!” ~Laura N.
“I felt that Kristina’s routine and approach to the group was a good balance of prescriptive and letting us kind of find our own way. I felt that you were open and available to help us process things or answer questions about the content of the group.” ~Tess B.
“I've struggled with seasonal depression for as long as I can remember. I was immediately drawn to the idea of this program. Kristina has such a calming way of being. Just being in her presence feels healing. So, I signed up! Having a group of caring women to gather with throughout the winter gave me something to look forward to. It got me out of the house when I tend to stay in and isolated. I learned some useful tools for improving my life, health and relationships. I enjoyed spending the time just for me. I was amazed to find myself in a much better mood overall this past winter. If you struggle with "the winter blues" I highly recommend this group. I plan on doing it again next year!” ~Tanya S.
