Hi, my name is Krysia!

I grew up dancing, just like you. I pursued dance through college and even completed a two-year post-graduate arts program. But throughout all of that, I struggled with self-belief and the certainty that I could make it in such an intense industry.

After having a moment of clarity where I realized I wanted to work with professional dancers to help their mental and emotional health flourish, I moved to Los Angeles to join CLI Studios, an online dance education platform founded by Teddy Forance, Stephen "tWitch" Boss, Kathryn McCormick, and Allison Holker.

While I was there, I wore all sorts of hats. I talked with thousands of studio owners and dancers across the country, worked in Human Resources and Product Management, and during that time, I also became certified as a life coach, nutrition coach, and yoga instructor.

Eventually, Teddy Forance had the idea to start the CLI Conservatory, and I joined the team to help bring that vision to life. It was an opportunity to begin actualizing the dream that had been growing in my heart for years.

For the past several years, I've had the privilege of serving as the Director of Student Wellbeing at CLI Conservatory, where I've supported hundreds of pre-professional dancers through one-on-one coaching, wellness education, nutrition guidance, crisis support, and personal development. I've designed and led workshops on topics such as confidence, burnout, identity, nervous system regulation, relationships, resilience, and sustainable performance, while helping dancers navigate everything from auditions and injuries to life transitions and mental health challenges.

Alongside my coaching, I'm a certified yoga instructor with a background in nutrition and holistic wellness. My approach combines evidence-based psychology, mindfulness, nervous system awareness, practical wellness strategies, and compassionate coaching to help artists build lives that are as healthy as they are successful.

I have now worked with well over 500 dancers individually and thousands more in group settings at both the pre-professional and professional levels.

My coaching practice revolves around one simple phrase:

Your humanity informs your artistry.

Your value has never been determined by a job, a contract, a number on the scale, or someone else's opinion.

Whether you're navigating burnout, struggling with confidence, preparing for a career transition, or simply looking for a healthier relationship with yourself, my hope is to provide the tools, support, and community to help you thrive, not just in your career, but in your life.

Welcome! I can't wait to work with you and be the support you need throughout your career.
