Chrysta Horwedel

Chrysta Horwedel is a Certified Stepparent Coach and the founder of The Intuitive Stepmom (theintuitivestepmom.com). 

She began her blended family journey in 2005 when she met her partner at a spiritual retreat. She uprooted her life in Ohio and moved to California to begin a new life in the Golden State. As a child of a divorced family, she was already acquainted with the dance of dynamics in the ever-changing blended family world.

Chrysta’s approach to coaching is intuitive and holistic, supported by certifications as a health/wellness coach and yoga instructor. She balances the practical and the metaphysical in her coaching. She speaks from the experience of her 12-year journey as a childless stepmom to having her own child in 2018.

Chrysta, being highly sensitive and empathic, assists her clients by focusing on the value of self-care, cultivating their intuition, and learning how to establish guidelines and boundaries within the family. As a believer that we are all works-in-progress she admits that it has been a continuous learning experience, and even though she has come a long way, there will always be more to learn.

When she is not chasing her spirited toddler at full speed she enjoys yoga, hiking, writing, culinary experiences, and travel.
