FAQS

Behind the Name

Crystalline Therapy came into being after my own healing journey — a practice shaped by clarity, compassion, and the belief that transformation is always possible. There was a time I wasn’t kind to myself, and the path to clarity helped me reconnect with my voice, reclaim who I wanted to be, and ultimately offer that same space of growth and care to others.

Crystalline | adjective

crys·tal·line ˈkri-stə-lən: strikingly clear or sparkling

Thus my practice was named "Crystalline Therapy."
