Biography for Kristen Giordano, CHt, CMF

I’m a transformational hypnotherapist and self-empowerment coach dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their inner strength, heal emotional wounds, and create meaningful, lasting change. My work is trauma-informed, holistic, and grounded in the belief that healing begins when we feel safe, seen, and supported.

In my private practice, I specialize in working with women navigating life transitions, emotional healing, and self-worth challenges. Through customized hypnotherapy, subconscious reprogramming, mindfulness, and energy healing, I guide clients back to their inherent wisdom, purpose, and power. By integrating somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and proven coaching methods, I help women move through struggle and into transformation with greater ease—offering support that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit.

My mission is to support women in awakening their inner strength, reconnecting with their authentic selves, and living with clarity and confidence. On a broader level, I’m devoted to contributing to global healing: when individuals learn to accept, respect, and love themselves, they become more capable of offering the same to others—creating a ripple effect of compassion, connection, and change.

Whether you’re seeking personal growth, emotional freedom, or a deeper sense of purpose, I’m here to hold space and walk with you on your healing journey.

Experience

Kristen has been facilitating transformation from groups and individuals for 7 years with mindfulness and empowerment coaching and energy work, and now subconsious reprogramming with hypnotherapy.

Before expanding into private practice, she gained hands-on experience supporting individuals in clinical behavioral health settings, collaborating closely with addiction specialists, medical professionals, and mental health clinicians. My work included providing integrative healing sessions for clients navigating substance use, trauma, and emotional distress. These sessions combined somatic support, mindfulness, and energy-based practices to help regulate the nervous system, reduce cravings, and rebuild a sense of inner safety and self-worth.

Over the years, I’ve facilitated individual and group sessions, wellness retreats, and recovery workshops focused on habit change, emotional resilience, and empowerment. My approach is grounded in compassionate, peer-based support and trauma-informed care—honoring each person's unique journey toward healing and wholeness.
