Kristen Russell
Kristen is completing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and holds both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Education. A former special education teacher with 10 years of experience supporting neurodivergent students and their families, she also works as a yin yoga instructor and is deeply familiar with movement-based learning.
​Kristen integrates mindfulness, somatic work, IFS-informed approaches, and nature-based practices to help clients build resilience, reduce stress, and explore their internal landscapes. With her background in education and embodied practice, she offers a grounded, compassionate space where people can slow down, deepen self-awareness, and cultivate balance in their lives. A current area of special interest is the interplay of neuroscience and yoga in the treatment of trauma.
