Welcome to the soul side of life, where compassionate care meets heartfelt support on life’s journey. I believe that life is meant to be lived fully and that the end of life is not a moment to fear, but a chapter to approach with clarity, compassion, and intention.
Death is not separate from life. It is woven into our human experience, and how we meet it shapes not only our final days, but the way we live right now.
Hi, I’m Kristy
Why I Do This Work
The path that led me here was not a straight one. Like many, I learned about the realities of death and grief through personal loss. In those moments, I saw how overwhelming it can be for families when conversations haven’t been had, wishes aren’t clear, or guidance is missing. I also saw how much peace comes from knowing what matters most to someone and honoring it fully.
Rooted to Self was born from that understanding. The name reflects my belief that when we connect deeply to our truest self, we can live and die in a way that feels fully our own. That connection becomes the foundation for making decisions, having conversations, and leaving a legacy that feels honest and authentic.
My Approach
This work is deeply personal. I meet every client and family exactly where they are, without judgment or pressure. We begin by uncovering what truly matters to you - your priorities, your fears, your hopes, and the way you want to be remembered. From there, we create clear, practical plans that give you and your loved ones a sense of direction and peace of mind.
I believe in keeping things simple and human. No unnecessary jargon. No one-size-fits-all templates. Just meaningful conversations, actionable steps, and the kind of support that allows you to feel grounded and heard.
Experience and Training
I am a certified life coach, accredited master grief coach, and trained and certified end-of-life doula. My work blends practical planning with compassionate presence, ensuring both the logistical and emotional needs of individuals and families are met. I serve clients in San Antonio and the surrounding area in person, and across the U.S. virtually.
