About Into the Light

Into the Light Healing & Bodywork

The idea for Into the Light came as I was reading a faith formation book by Matthew Kelly. It was a chapter about changing the world by each individual growing in virtue and character. As I read each page about the best way to live, new ideas popped into my head about how to organize a higher level of practice for my skill set.

The principles discussed by Kelly became my organizing principles for Into the Light: Virtue, humility, generosity, patience, courage, kindness, and honesty. Using these principles, I am shaping the way I provide skilled, individualized care in a safe and loving environment to promote healing from within oneself and in relationships. As you heal and grow closer to our Lord, you become the best version of yourself.

You are not the only one who has the opportunity to heal and grow here; I believe all of this came to me so that I too can become the truest version of myself and draw closer to God, hopefully becoming a true disciple of Christ. Thank you for choosing me so we can grow together.

As humans, we are body and soul, physical and spiritual. If one is hurt, it affects the other. In my mind, it follows that to heal one, the source of the pain, both need to be addressed. I've immersed my working space in scripture and have been growing closer to God in my own faith journey so that I might support yours. I've studied and learned how to physically support the body's natural healing process so that I can serve you and provide you with tools to keep it up on your own. 

About Kristin (Video)

Hello my friends! Are you ready to break free from living in fear and hurt? Can you let God heal your wounds?

It is not all up to you. Guided by God, I am one of the many who can facilitate your journey to wellness. I'm Kristin, and probably like you, I have a lot of roles in this life. I'm God's beloved daughter, a wife, a mother, daughter, sister, physical therapist, body worker, active leader and participant in my church, friend, entrepreneur, the list goes on and on. Sometimes, it gets overwhelming. I've found that the more I invite Jesus into my heart, His loving light guides my path and makes every role work just right into the beautiful tapestry that is my life.

This came through most around the second wave of the COVID pandemic, when I felt Him calling me to do more with my physical therapy practice. He guided me out of my comfort zone into owning my own business, where I can facilitate healing with Him at the center.

With this work together, I'm offering you a safe place to bring your pain Into the Light so you can begin the healing process within with love and support. It is an opportunity to heal the hurts that have gotten stuck in your body if you can come to my office, and if not, a way to use movement in TherEx Flow to restore balance of your tissues. It takes work, but you will not be alone. I am your servant. My purpose is to help you process your past and become the truest version of yourself going forward. Let's invite our Lord, the divine physician, into our work together, and ask Him to reveal the wounds from which you are ready to heal.

Kristin’s willingness to invite Jesus into the session makes such a difference! I have felt His presence throughout. I am finding He is using this time to reveal some heart wounds in need of healing. Every session is unique and I always leave feeling a sense of peace and discernment of what He’s walking me through. Kristin is very kind and trustworthy. She does an amazing job helping you feel comfortable during your session. I have had many massage and cranial sacral sessions in the past but nothing has compared to this.

I had the best nights sleep and haven't felt this good in a long time. My stomach even feels flatter/less bloated if that's possible. Thank you!!

Working with Kristin is truly amazing! She is a gifted practitioner and well worth the time and financial investment. I've seen her myself and have also brought my 2 young children in for work - everyone loves being in her presence!

Kristin is a blessing! I have been doctoring for almost two years for my hip. Xrays, MRI's and nothing showed up. The pain got worse over the last year. Had two injections with no relief. Finally, my sister heard about Kristin and told me I needed to check her out. I was skeptical at first but kept an open mind...after all what did I have to lose? I was scheduled for another injection and cancelled and instead went to see Kristin. She is two hours away from me but I wanted to give her a try. I went to my first session and experienced relief that I hadn't felt in two years. I scheduled a second session with her before our trip to Florida. Again, I had even more relief. I was able to put my leg up and tie my shoes! I am back to walking everyday and can honestly say some days I have no pain at all and the pain I do have is minimal. God has touched her with such great healing hands. I highly recommend her. I am a true believer in Craniosacral Therapy and am so glad to have Kristin.

“My sessions of cranial sacral with Kristen has brought me healing on all levels, not just on the physical level. I feel so much better than I have in many years. Kristen is very skilled in what she does and her ability to match specific yoga moves to what you need is priceless. Kristen is a true treasure and I always look forward to my sessions with her.”

Colleen B.

“Wonderful touch! If you aren’t familiar with CranioSacral therapy, it’s very calming and helps you integrate with this crazy, ever changing world around us. Kristen is very talented and you should definitely do yourself a favor and get on her books! Can’t wait to try the yoga therapy next time added to the end of the session! Thanks for the beautiful work you do Kristen!”

Lisa M.

“I have been treated in the past with Massage, Chiropractor, steroids, Nerve blocks and continue to have break through back pressure/pain. I’m training for the Chicago Marathon in October and leave pain free after every session. I added Medical yoga to my treatment and so thankful for all the knowledge Kristin shares with me and prayers for my healing. I’m excited to reach my next goal!”

Brian T.

“Kristin is an expert with Craniosacral Therapy and other methods. She is an incredibly skilled, kind and caring professional and gets amazing results. I highly recommend her services.”

Carly R.

“Kristin is magical. I first saw Kristin for what I thought was a problem with my knee. She worked diligently with me and with her exceptional listening skills and dedication to healing, we not only discovered that my pain originated from my back. With hard work and Kristin's professional creativity she was able to restore me to a pain-free life. When she first suggested CST, I didn't know much about it and I wasn't sure I believed in it. After several sessions of walking in with 9/10 persistent pain and out with 1-2/10 barely noticeable discomfort, I became a believer. She truly has healing hands and a healing heart. She creates a safe space around her that adds to the healing process. I have been to many physical therapists over the years and Kristin helped me more than any other I have been treated by. I am grateful to her for all her help and guidance. I highly recommend Kristin to all my friends and family.”

Nicole S.

“Kristin creates such a positive and healing environment in her sessions. During the entirety of the process she is mindful, intuitive, caring, and professional. Personally, she has helped with my anxiety and work through stagnant emotions, improving mood and energy levels. She truly cares, listens, and wants to HELP you!”

Terri P

“Led by Kristin’s expertise, skills, & knowledge as a practitioner, we both prayerfully engaged in the treatment and the healing was beyond my expectations.”

Suzy H.

“Kristin and her CST knowledge and skills have helped me ease chronic pain and the anxiety that comes with it for well over a year now. She listens and genuinely cares. CST is a peaceful, calming, relaxing treatment that aids our body’s natural, God-given healing process. Kristin is very intuitive and gifted in her field. You would be blessed to meet her and give it a try! It will only do you good.”

Jennifer S

“Kristin truly has a unique gift of healing. I have suffered with severe vertigo for several years. I’ve gone to the ER, my PCP, and an ENT, but I was only given a prescription for medication or a referral to another specialist. Nothing was helping me. Then I saw Kristin! At the beginning of my first appointment with her my vertigo was so intense I couldn’t turn my head or lay down. Within two sessions I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the severity of my symptoms! I was finally able to turn my head AND almost able to lay completely flat. I am so grateful and always look forward to the next session with Kristin! Do not hesitate to try a session, you will not be disappointed!”

Jessica E

“I have worked with Kristin to help with neck pain and digestive issues. I no longer have daily upper back pain and headaches. SHE IS AMAZING! She has such a calming presence. I highly recommend seeing her”
