You: I’m stuck, and this uncertainty sure ain’t helping. Any ideas?
Me: Ooooh!! Wanna Wayfind?!
I don’t need to tell you that we are facing a terrifying junction in the history of our world; an endless serious of unprecedented catalytic events that threaten to destroy pretty much everything.
And yet, this the moment that our souls have been waiting for. Like the phoenix combusting into flames before rising from the ashes, this massive “combustion of the old” offers us the opportunity to birth something new, something glorious.
For those who are ready, the New Consciousness is inviting us to embrace this “death” so that we can bring deep healing to humanity and Mama Earth.
And for those who are navigating transition, crisis, or simply the yearning to build a life that they love - a life that’s aligned with their truth - I can think of no better time to do it than NOW.
The path that makes either and both possible is Wayfinding.
Wayfinding is a Hero’s Journey for your soul.
And it’s your most trusted navigational equipment during these unprecedented times.
Wayfinding is all about you connecting with your inner GPS - your body compass - and using it to solve problems, navigate uncertainty, and create a life that sets your soul on fire.
Wayfinding is fantastic for doing things like:
Identifying your “purpose” - your North Star,
Building a soul-aligned business or changing careers,
Answering the “Should I stay or should I go?” question,
Staying sane - even thriving! - in a batshit crazy world.
In the process, you’ll uncover who you truly are…and let me tell you, it’s one of the most glorious things to experience!
And if you’re thinking:
“That’s freaking lovely…but I have REAL problems and feel completely out of control, and yet everyone expects me to function like everything’s normal.”
I hear you. AND Wayfinding truly is the only “tool” I trust to help me navigate the fuckery of these times.
When we Wayfind, we tap into the source of our inner knowing to guide us literally through ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.
When we Wayfind, we stop chasing the dreams that culture prescribes for us and instead chart a path towards our own North Stars, which are always aligned with the collective wellbeing.
We advance towards our destinies with curiosity and courage. We expand our consciousness (no drugs needed). We “find” and live our purpose (it’s so much easier than it sounds…and so much less grandiose that you’d think!). We move from surviving to thriving, regardless of what’s happening around us.
But it ain’t all sunshine and rainbows (what is?!).
Wayfinding is simple, but it can take extraordinary courage; it has an uncanny way of opening your eyes to the insanity of the world, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
And yet as you meet these challenges head-on, life becomes more fulfilling and deeply purpose-driven. Anxiety over uncertainty lessens and in its place, joy and peace take root. Relationships improve or fall away, and new relationships come into being. “Success” is quite often a byproduct.
Who is Wayfinding for? EVERY. HUMAN. ON. PLANET. EARTH.
As cliché as it sounds, Wayfinding involves reclaiming your power, your personal agency. If you aren’t willing to do that, therapy or even venting sessions with your bestie will be a better fit. But if experiencing true freedom resonates, keep reading.
1:1 Wayfinding
-
1:1 Wayfinding is a transformative and holistic coaching container that runs 6 months. Sessions are held via Zoom by default, walking sessions (virtual and in-person), and even old school phone calls are options.
-
Wayfinding is for kind humans who are stuck in an area of their life and yearn to move forward.
It’s for kind humans who want to live in alignment with their North Stars.
It’s for kind humans who prioritize freedom, fulfillment, joy, and purpose over “success” (whatever that even means).
It’s for kind humans who are high-performing and successful but have lost a deeper sense of purpose or connection with who they truly are.
And it’s for kind humans who are contending with a “mid-life crisis” or existential awakening.
-
I am selective with who I serve. As such, I require a prospective client to have a full-length (complementary) coaching session with me before we can consider working together.
This allows me to gauge whether you’d benefit from what I offer, and it allows you to test-drive me without any pressure or commitment.
General pricing information can be found in my inquiry form.
Wayfinder Coaching
Some tools Wayfinding uses:
Thought work. One of my favorite tools for this is Byron Katie’s The Work.
Body compass. We’ll be checking in with your body’s wisdom. A LOT.
Metaphor. Soooo freaking powerful!
Visioning, journeying, and grounding tools.
Systems upgrades, channeling, and more!
Some problems Wayfinding solves:
“I’m miserable at my job (in my life, etc.), & I’m stuck. Now what?!”
“I’m successful & did the “all the things,” but I’m stressed out and not fulfilled.”
“I’ve been playing small my whole life.”
“I’m afraid to share my authentic self.”
“I’m having a mid-life/existential crisis!”
Wayfinding is designed for kind humans who:
Aren’t showing up in their lives as their most authentic selves and want to change this,
Are driven to BE the change but struggle to actually embody this change;
Are the proverbial square pegs and are done trying to force themselves through culture’s round holes;
Are highly sensitive, empathic, and/or neurodivergent (like yours truly) and want to embrace these aspects of themselves; and/or
Have freaking HAD IT with “the system” and are ready to own their life experiences.
Pricing & details
Current pricing can be found at the bottom of my inquiry form. Because I change it from time to time, it’s easier to only have to update it in one place!
As Wayfinding is a lifelong endeavor, I prefer to work with clients for lengthier terms. Current coaching containers span six months and include the option to renew.
Interested? The process begins with you submitting an inquiry where - upon submission - you’ll be redirected to my calendar to schedule a 90-minute call. During this call (note: we can shorten it if needed), you’ll share what brought you to my doorstep, and I’ll spend most of our time with my coaching hat on.
You will leave with new insights to whatever you brought to our call), a sense of what it would be like working together (because you’ve already experienced it), and an invitation to sleep on things. If I feel that you’re a good candidate for Wayfinding, I’ll email you an invitation to work with me. This approach flies in the face with how most “discovery calls” work, but I do it because it’s in integrity with my true nature.
Again, this call is not a sales call. There is no pressure to enroll in a coaching package. It is an opportunity for me to be of genuine service to you. Please know that doing so truly lights me up…regardless of whether we decide to work together!
You may be wondering…
-
One of my favorite coaches argues that coaches should stop calling themselves coaches. Why? Because wtf is a coach?! People don’t want coaching, per se. They want the result.
So an alternative explanation is that I help people solve problems using Wayfinder tools.
Problems that often begin with: “I feel so stuck with [x], but…” or “I’m struggling with [x]…” or “I don’t know what to do about [x]…”
Problems that are existential in nature. Like, “What’s my purpose?” or so-called midlife crises.
Problems where you’re not showing up as you are. People-pleasing. Playing small or not taking up the space you deserve to take up. Wearing a mask.
Problems of avoidance or discontent or that you try to self-medicate through via shopping, boozing, gaming, binge-watching, doomsday scrolling, social media addictions, etc.
Problems where there’s a lot on the line if you get it wrong, like whether to get married or start a family or move or buy a house or quit a job or go back to school or…
The list of problems that Wayfinding can help solve is endless. And that’s because Wayfinding relies on your innate wisdom expressed via your body compass. You see, your body knows the answer. And sometimes, the answers are shocking! Anyway…
Wayfinder Life Coaching (aka Wayfinding) is your ticket to living the life your soul craves. Notice the word “soul.” If your ego’s wildest dreams aren’t aligned with your soul’s wildest dream, Wayfinding’s gonna (kindly!) point that out.
In many ways, Wayfinding is like other forms of coaching. For example, I partner with clients to help them identify what they want to change about their lives, work through disempowering beliefs about their circumstances that keep them stuck, and map a path towards creating desired change.
AND Wayfinding deviates from other forms of coaching in that we’ll be checking in regularly with your “body compass” and using it to guide you, to determine whether the path we’re on will bring you closer to your “North Star.” Though we’ll use various tools in our sessions, Wayfinding doesn’t follow any sort of framework per se (though I do have a process…so I guess you could technically call it a framework, albeit a highly intuitive one that changes in perpetual creative response to whatever you bring to our sessions!).
-
So let me clarify.
If you were to sign up with a coach for a single session, you will probably be asked what you want to explore.
I do this, too. But if you’re investing in a package, you’re probably wanting a container where transformation and change occurs in your life…and this often takes time.
So, your first (paid) session will help us identify what our work together for duration of our coaching agreement is. [And yes, we can always revisit it.] I have created a powerful process for this deep dive session…which is always in perpetual creative response to YOU.
We’ll also have a few check-in points, and we’ll often be checking in with your body compass.
So, is that a framework? Kinda?
Does it matter?
Your life changes when you receive insights that you act on, when you gain clarity over a stuck point, and when you create systems that work for you…
…because absolutely everything in your life is a system - the only questions is whether it’s a system that’s netting the result you want or a result you don’t. But I digress…
-
I work with kind, conscientious humans. Humans who give AF about the state of our world as much as they care about their own lot in it.
Some of the humans I’ve had the pleasure to Wayfind with include:
CPAs
Surgeons, MDs, & PA-Cs
Yoga teachers, meditation teachers, & breathworkers
Master coaches
Published authors
Homeschooling moms
Professional recruiters
Other Reflectors(!!)
Animal rights activists
Nonprofit employees
Entrepreneurs and solopreneurs
Artists
Other professionals
Humans who struggle with life transitions
Women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and cis-gendered men
BIPOC
Catholics, Protestants, Hindus, Mennonites, Jews, witches, atheists, stoics, and spiritual-not-religious folks
-
One client sold her house because home ownership no longer aligned with her greater life vision.
One client realized that she actually did want to start a family halfway into a session, after spending years of indecision and therapy.
Several clients untangled complex interpersonal relationship dynamics and how to navigate them.
One client released professional trauma that had been causing chronic, debilitating pain.
Pretty much every client learned how to interpret their body’s signals and make decisions that they knew with deep confidence were right for them.
Yours truly quit her “good” corporate job without a safety net (and it was one of the best damn decisions I’ve ever made!). I also quit drinking, radically changed my relationship with money, and finally created the fulfilling, purpose-driven, and joyful life that had eluded me for far too long.

Re: payment plans
Yes! You can pay for the whole shebang upfront, or you can make monthly installments. Just note that this isn’t a subscription, so you will be responsible for the entire program cost that you agreed to at enrollment even if you decide to stop working with me.
Re: refunds
I do NOT offer refunds for any reason.

Some coaches charge $100/call, some coaches charge $200k/year, and some charge even more. So you could say that my rates definitely land at the lower end! But that’s all relative, right?
I love this quote:
“People who choose to work with a coach who has what are considered high fees are willing to make a significant investment because they want significant outcomes.” -Carolyn Freyer-Jones
Of course this doesn’t mean that you won’t create significant outcomes with a coach who charges $100…or that you will with a coach who charges $200k.
The coach’s expertise in asking questions, holding space, and helping to generate insights is part of the equation. The other part is how the client responds both inside and outside of coaching conversations.
Some people are more invested in their coaching when their investment is higher. I remember talking to my therapist about this. I have a $30 co-pay, and the result is that I sometimes show up for our calls not knowing what I want to talk about. If I was paying her full rate out-of-pocket, I can guarantee that I’d be more invested in each and every call.
The slogan “live it to give it” is one we learned very early on in Wayfinder Life Coach Training, and it just means that we can’t give from an empty cup. I don’t have the mental capacity to coach enough people at $100/session to make coaching my primary source of income.
Anyway, I’m really belaboring my real point, which is that coaching isn’t a commodity, and therefore there’s no “going rate.” I choose my own coaches based on whether I want to work with them and whether I can afford to do so, even if it’s a serious stretch (and it sometimes is).
If you want to work with me but are balking at my rates, I still encourage you to book a zero-pressure complimentary call so that you can experience the impact first hand. I love being of service, and even if you never become a client, you might share about your experience with someone who will eventually become a client! I say this in case you feel that you need some sort of permission slip to “waste my time” (spoiler: you’re never wasting my time).
If you experience coaching with me, want to work with me, but can’t pull money out of thin air, we should still talk. I may be able to refer you or offer you resources or something else.
Finally, I want to end this with a statistic. I’ve read that 90% of coaches make less than $10k/year, which isn’t living it to give it.
Coaching transforms lives, and I believe that all coaches should be able to earn a living…without hustling or working in a way that leads to burnout or being shamed that they’re “not accessible” enough. And, each coach gets to decide which rates are in integrity with them.
My rates are in integrity with me.
That is all.
-
Wayfinding is, IMO, one of the greatest investments you can make in yourself. That being said, whether it’s an investment that’s doable for you or not is for you to decide.
I abhor high-pressure and manipulative sales tactics and if there’s any hint of indecision, will encourage you to sleep on things.
Before you sign an agreement and make a deposit, you’ll have already had a exploratory session with me to test-drive things. Just know, too, that I’m not looking to “make the sale.” If I don’t sense that working with you would be a good fit for either you and/or me, I won’t extend an offer to work together.
I invite you to check in with your body compass after our exploratory call to see whether working together feels aligned for you. Don’t know how to do this? I can walk you through it during our call!

Kristi Amdahl isn't a life coach, she's a lion tamer.
“I had a lion inside, prowling, ferocious, and daunting; I wrote my first novel amid the throes of brutal insomnia, the story very much storm born, and time stamped my state of mind as I explored the complexity of captivity through my main characters. I became a very proud creative parent as soon as I held the finished manuscript in my hands. Mine was a Pandemic baby, and the themes expressed in my prose reflected what I knew resonated with us all, during such a drastic time—but marketing my book? Marketing of any kind?
I felt that I had stumbled into authorhood after publishing my novel and when I faced the reality that I would have to market advertise tell the world about my book? That is when the lion entered the ring, chuffing with intimidating self-doubt and questions like, ‘is my work good enough?’ ‘Can I do this myself?’ ‘How do I even do this?’
The stereotypical lion tamer wields a wooden chair and a cracking, cruel whip. It seems only fair, the lion is bigger, stronger, and deadly! But Kristi leaped into the ring, dismissing the old lion tamer who would have yelled at and whipped the beast with judgment, ridicule, or even shame! Kristi offered not just a hand for the lion made of self-doubt to smell, but an ear. Kristi showed me that my lion was not the king of the savannah, but instead it was an itty bitty kitten that I could—and should—easily scoop up and nurture. My insecurities and resistance weren’t the formidable forces I had built them up to be; with the help of Kristi’s keen clarity, I realized that the mental roadblocks by which I had felt so confined were ones I had built myself, so I can take them down!
I considered myself to be allergic to the very prospect of promotion until my coaching session with Kristi. I can only commend her perspective and wisdom. In a world full of ‘influencers’ and ‘content creators’, Kristi Amdahl is the real deal. You will not have a more valuable 90 minutes this year!”
-Mads Hennen
“I love how when I was honest that what you offered at one point didn't vibe, you kept digging and searching in your tool box for something that would work. You didn't just go "well this is what I do, so..." You were like "okay, let's keep seeing what else we can try." And found a path forward.”
-Sarah Woodard
“My coaching session with Kristi was powerful, beautiful and peaceful. During my coaching session, she guided me to scan my body in a way I never experienced before. Her voice traveled inside my body connecting me with an important emotion I was needing to feel; a stuck childhood trauma that has been extremely heavy and painful in my life. I felt safe with Kristi thanks to her loving and compassionate presence.
Her connection, patience, and safe space allowed me to see and feel how that event has been affecting my life and health. Her voice was a divine guidance inside my body and heart allowing me to create a new healthy story within me. She always brings to my sessions a heart full of compassion and dedication to help me create a positive change. She is a coach with a sweet and loving heart with the power to transform a painful emotion into peace.”
-Ritvika Radha Devi
“Kristi Amdahl is a gem of a healer and teacher... and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I have been going through significant professional trauma, so she did a body scan to help me get in touch with where and how the pain was manifesting in my body. In just a short session, she helped free me of carrying this weight in my lower back, stomach, shoulders, and hips--enabling me to let go and trust that I have the fortitude and strength to move forward. She truly restored my faith in my ability to overcome adversity.
Her compassion, insight, and talents are unmatched. Do yourselves a favor and schedule with her today.”
-Courtney Wennerstrom
“Kristi holds a compassionate space for her clients. She listens deeply, reflects what you explored back to you and she asks for more detail in the spirit of someone who cares deeply and wants the best for you.
She is relatable, grounded in her own spiritual practices and she invites you to explore your own circumstances more deeply. I was able to come away from our sessions with a renewed perspective, a sense of hope and personal agency for making decisions or taking actions moving forward. Kristi is a beacon of light helping to guide you along when there may be darkness, confusion or lack of clarity.”
-Marisa Colón
“After our conversation, I felt lighter and clearer and capable of taking a turtle step. I got out my watercolors immediately and got into such flow that the sun set before I even knew any time had passed. I sketched and painted a card for a friend and I gave it to her today. She absolutely loved it and was shocked to learn I could paint. I’m putting in my praise journal that not only did I create something, I also shared it.
Something new feels unlocked. I spent time today journaling and reflecting. I’m feeling more ready to take on the week than I have in a while.”
-Madi R.
“I am fortunate to be able to get coached by Kristi on multiple issues and situations. Kristi is extremely patient and gentle while guiding me through every single session. I feel completely safe sharing my concerns, questions, and problems with her.
After each and every session, I have walked away with a new insight or more clarity or peace. I truly appreciate her presence and intuitive guidance during coaching sessions. I would recommend working with Kristi if you are interested in getting real results.”
-Nirali Dubal
