About Kris Prochaska

I track the energetic patterns behind words, behaviors and relational dynamics. I translate those patterns into everyday language my clients can understand and actually do something with right away. 

Soul Strategist | Existential Psychotherapist | Human Design Alchemist

I’ve always seen things many others couldn’t. Spirits. Patterns. The undercurrents beneath people’s words.

(I’ve been told it’s my 12th House Moon-Neptune conjunction in Scorpio. And if you think that's a weird way to introduce a potential therapeutic relationship, just wait until you read the rest of this!)

I saw my grandmother’s spirit when I was 8 years old right after my parents divorced and I never really stopped seeing. I learned that souls exist and to trust what I see with my own eyes. Grandma Francis’ message to me “Everything’s going to be OK” has carried me through decades of ups and downs including two divorces of my own. 

I learned more about what works in relationships and what doesn’t from those marriages and having two kids than I ever learned in grad school. 

I also learned to trust in the unseen because it’s often more telling (and true) than what’s being said to your face.

While I realize that not all people ‘see’ energy the way I do, ALL of us have an awareness right inside our own body about what is happening. And the thing some folks (maybe you?) struggle with is what I also struggled with - can I trust this awareness AND find or remember my power to act on it? 

Today, I work with women who are navigating self-doubt, relationship exhaustion, and communication spin-ups - especially people pleasing and going along to get along even when it feels like shit to do so as if self-abandonment = less conflict. (Nope!)

If you’ve ever had a conversation, or listened to some guru, or leader, or even your own parent or partner say one thing, but the energy behind their words - and how it felt in your body just didn’t match up that’s your nervous system; that's your inner knowing.

If you overrode that awareness, or went along with what they were saying in order to ‘keep the peace’, avoid ‘rocking the boat’ or in order to stay in relationship with that person for whatever reason (love, fear, security, safety, kids, money, etc) that’s your nervous system and it's a form of relational trauma.

You may, like me, have had your physical needs taken care of as a kid, but emotionally and mentally (even intuitively) your caregivers couldn’t, or wouldn’t, show up in the way you needed. And they certainly didn’t teach you how to trust your own body - it just wasn’t a thing back when most of us were growing up…(or when our parents were growing up - setting the scene for our childhood).

25 years ago I started my clinical practice when my babies were young with one hope: that I could keep my kids safe if I taught them how to trust their intuition. I started with a group of moms who also wanted to teach their kids how to trust themselves and quickly realized I had to start with the moms because they didn’t yet trust themselves - how could they possibly instill that in their own kids?

That was over 2 decades ago and my work has evolved and become even more precise and potent since then. Yes, safety is part of it, but financial autonomy, self-confidence, and knowing yourself so well that you know when someone is bullshitting or manipulating you, along with knowing what your unique soul + human gifts are and how to make money with those, are also a big part of it.

(Yes, my kids have learned - and continue to learn - to trust themselves above all else, even above me or their dad. I’m especially proud of this.)

Once, I told my mom that I had been talking with my deceased father-in-law and  was surprised she didn't pull a neck muscle as she whipped her head towards me so fast saying “Don’t tell people that, they’ll think you’re not professional!” 

I smiled and replied, “That’s actually why they hire me.” 

It was then that I saw where some of my fear of being too weird or not trusting myself came from. She wanted to keep me safe and preserve my integrity as a ‘professional’ therapist - but what was really happening was the invisible conditioning passed down generationally & culturally that keeps most of us doubting ourselves and our perception.

I believe in the unseen, and the weirdly psychic stuff people seem to know but don’t believe is real when they perceive it themselves. That belief along with my clinical background led me to helping people finally discern whether or not they are ‘crazy’ and making shit up - or actually psychic and didn’t know it - or believe it.

You are not broken, or crazy, and your intuition isn’t wrong - it’s working just fine. That said, you were trained not to listen to it - I say it’s been co-opted. This is especially true if you’ve been in a relationship where coercive control, gaslighting, and subtle manipulation have been used to 'keep you in your place.'

And, girl, we’re gonna get your spidey-sense back online and help you find your optimal place.

I have been using Human Design as a clinician and coach since 2012 as a common language to describe and map energy - and help folks realize what they can trust in themselves and their identity, along with where and how they are being conditioned to betray their own inner knowing and truth.

I translate the unseen energies moving within and between people, and validate my client’s perceptions through practical, visual examples that everyone can understand - and act on - right away.

I’m also careful to take into consideration your Energetic Attachment Style™ and any relational trauma in your nervous system as we are working with your Human Design, because frankly I think some people can get a little culty and weird with Design (really any kind of system that explores & describes the Self) and my aim is for you to feel liberated, not bound by yet another set of rules and shoulds or supposed to’s. Instead, I want you to take what fits and supports you on your individual path to your inner remembering.

Reclaiming your energetic and intuitive sovereignty feels juicy and badass. And I'm not gonna sugar-coat it, often the journey to get there may feel like jumping out of a plane with no parachute. It's also SO worthwhile, ‘cause it’s only through taking those leaps of faith that you find out that your parachute (your unseen inner wisdom & strength) was there to catch you all along…and likely has over your lifetime(s) - so let's learn how to pull the ripcord quicker this go around! 😉

Whether your self-doubt or identity crisis is in an intimate relationship, a familial dynamic, or even while running a business (I love my entrepreneurial clients!) I got you.

And like my Grandma said, everything’s gonna be OK - even if it isn’t right now…
