Hi, I’m Kristen Knepper Bahbahani

I’m a trauma-informed coach and certified facilitator helping professional women release fear responses, heal hidden wounds, and create the change they crave - at work, in love, and in life.

Certified coach & facilitator

Background in DEI & workforce development

Years of experience supporting high-achieving women

Currently training in EMDR, Parts Work, and Rapid Release Therapy

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve helped women:

Recognize and release subconscious trauma stored in the body
Break patterns of overthinking, avoidance, and people-pleasing
Respond to life with calm confidence instead of reactivity or fear

My trauma-informed coaching process helps you:

Build emotional resilience and self-awareness
Rewire subconscious patterns in a safe, body-led way
Create authentic relationships—with others and yourself

I believe the keys to real, lasting change are safety, self-compassion, and nervous system healing. Let me show you how.

Would you like me to help you shift these patterns in just a few months?

What if I told you there’s a way to support this change that doesn’t involve years of therapy or endless overthinking?

A way that helps you feel safe in your body, rebuild trust in yourself, and reconnect to the life and relationships you truly want - even if you’ve tried before and nothing seemed to work.

You’ve likely tried therapy, mindset tools, or reading all the books…

But you're still stuck in anxious loops, reactivity, or relationship tension.

I’ve seen this cycle again and again.

And I know how painful it is to keep asking yourself, “What’s wrong with me?”

But here’s what most people don’t talk about:

Real change doesn’t come from logic or willpower alone.

It comes from healing the nervous system and releasing stored trauma responses.

In our work together, you’ll:

✨ Uncover the subconscious beliefs and blocks shaping your patterns

✨ Release what’s stored in the body—safely and gently

✨ Build new, authentic ways of responding to life’s challenges

This is the work that creates lasting, embodied transformation.

And I’d love to support you through it.

What my clients say

“Working with Kristen was life-changing.”

I came to her feeling anxious, stuck, and constantly second-guessing myself-especially in relationships. Through our sessions, I uncovered patterns I didn’t even know were driving my behavior. Kristen created such a safe, supportive space that I was finally able to release things I’d been carrying for years. I feel more confident, calm, and connected than I ever have.

Jessica Lee – Senior Marketing Executive – New York, NY

“I didn’t realize how much I was living in survival mode.”
I thought I just had a stress problem. But Kristen helped me see how deeply my nervous system was wired for fear. Her body-based tools and trauma-informed approach helped me soften, slow down, and actually feel safe again. It wasn’t about fixing myself—it was about understanding and working with myself. I’m so grateful.

Monica Patel – Tech Manager – San Francisco, CA

“This work goes far beyond mindset coaching.”
I’ve tried therapy. I’ve done all the journaling. Nothing helped me shift the perfectionism and overthinking. Kristen’s process helped me access parts of myself I’d buried for decades. I now set boundaries with clarity, speak up at work without fear, and feel more emotionally available in my relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t want to relive all my trauma?

You don’t have to. My approach is gentle, body-aware, and paced to your comfort.

Is this like therapy?

It’s different. While I’m training in EMDR and MFT, this is coaching—focused on results and change in real life, not just insight.

What if nothing has worked for me before?

That’s exactly why this work exists. Most approaches don’t go deep enough to shift what’s stored in the nervous system. This one does.

Curious what might change if you responded to life with calm and clarity instead of anxiety and reactivity?
