Who Is Dr. Kristena E. Lawson?
As a wife, mother and passionate coach, Kristena understands the unique challenges you and/or members of your team may face both personally and professionally in this balancing act we call womanhood.
She has been there trying to find her way…
Trying to find the balance of being driven but soft….professional but not too hard…dedicated but not “run in the ground” and stressed out of your mind… Kristena was where you are and wants to teach women how to be their best self in a fraction of the time it took her… with far less mistakes a long the way.
Kristena has dedicated her life and career to helping women heal from past wounds, develop powerful leadership skills through embracing their fullest potential in every aspect of life.
She is committed to empowering girls and women through a blend of inner healing, personal growth, and professional development. Her approach integrates the mind, body, and spirit—because true empowerment begins from within.
Having worked with women from all walks of life—from middle school students all the way to corporate executives—Kristena brings a deep understanding of the intersectionality girls and women navigate.
Kristena’s mission is to help you break through barriers, build emotional resilience, and embrace your leadership potential, all while honoring your feminine energy and authenticity.
Kristena’s journey to becoming a coach and advocate for women of color didn’t happen overnight. I’ve spent years working in leadership positions, supporting both women and marginalized communities, and I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges that come with navigating multiple identities in the workplace, school, and in life.
For years, Kristena struggled with the same things many of you might relate to:
Imposter syndrome – feeling like she had to be “more” than she was to prove her worth.
Self-doubt – wondering if she truly belonged in spaces that were predominantly white or male-dominated.
Burnout – pushing herself to the limit in an attempt to excel, only to realize that she wasn’t taking care of herself.
Emotional resilience – battling with her inner emotional struggles while trying to maintain professional composure and strength.
It wasn’t until Kristena embarked on her own healing journey that she began to realize the importance of integrating body, mind, and spirit to truly thrive. Kristena turned inward and began the process of healing her inner wounds, rediscovering her self-worth, and embracing the power of her femininity. She dove into personal development and spiritual practices that supported her growth, and Kristena slowly began to embrace her duality as a woman of color navigating a challenging world.
This process changed everything for me.
That’s when she knew she needed to help others who were facing the same struggles.
Kristena takes a holistic approach to coaching that integrates the mind, body, and spirit. Her coaching methodology combines inner healing, emotional intelligence, leadership development, and personal growth. She firmly believes that empowerment doesn’t just happen at the surface level. It happens when we heal past wounds, address limiting beliefs, and begin to cultivate resilience and inner strength.
By working with me, you’ll have a safe space to:
Heal emotional wounds: Address past traumas or self-doubt that hold you back.
Build self-esteem and resilience: Develop the emotional strength to overcome challenges and setbacks.
Unlock your leadership potential: Strengthen your leadership capabilities, whether you're in a corporate setting, leading a team, or simply taking charge of your own life.
Align with your true self: Learn to embrace your duality and navigate the balance between your femininity and professional life.
Kristena believes that when you take care of your whole self—your spirit, soul and body—you can rise to new heights of leadership, impact, and influence.
