Offerings

Most individual consults booked in 60 minute increments.

Please also book at least 3 business days in advance.

As a Life Advisor, I help reveal the frameworks that influence how you communicate and make decisions. Unlike coaches or traditional consultants, I focus on understanding rather than directing change—illuminating patterns so you can see your situation more clearly.

Who This Is For

  • Self-motivated individuals who've done therapeutic work

  • Those navigating complex social situations or decision points

  • People seeking understanding rather than motivation

  • Clients ready to examine why certain patterns exist before changing them

What I Don't Do

  • Offer motivational speeches

  • Tell you what to do

  • Hold your hand through changes

  • Provide quick fixes or platitudes

What I Do

I illuminate perspectives and trust in your capacity to decide. Using both analytical and esoteric tools, I help you understand the full context of your situation—like examining why a fence exists before deciding whether to remove it.

My Toolkit:

I draw from a blend of analytical and esoteric tools:

  • Trauma-informed psychology

  • Jungian functions

  • Hellenistic astrology

  • Tarot archetypes

  • Human Design centers

  • Enneagram

  • Somatic experiencing and reiki

  • AI-assisted tools (customized prompts to scaffold your understanding)

All consultations outlined below are the same rate.

Here are examples of ways I can help.

  • Decision Framework Analysis: For those facing complex choices who need to see the full context of their situation.

  • Communications Strategy: Having issues getting your point across? We'll examine the frameworks needed to articulate yourself effectively.

  • Personal Systems Audit: Understanding why certain patterns exist in your life and whether they still serve you.

  • Perspective Mapping: Exploring different viewpoints and frameworks to inform your decisions.

Sometimes I may pull up your astrological chart or clarification. Note I do not offer formal “astrological chart” readings but am available to chat if you are a student.

I work with clients virtually and in person. If you're ready to gain deeper understanding of your situation and engage with thoughtful, informed guidance, let's connect. My role is to illuminate perspectives and trust in your capacity to make informed decisions.

All consultations are through Zoom audio call and recordable. Client is responsible for taking notes, bringing specific questions and filling in the sent out questionnaire prior to the session. If you are local to NYC, I offer in-person sessions in the Bushwick-Williamsburg area.

Rates

I run on a tiered payment system based on income (not checked officially, so use the honor system please!) Payment upfront is encouraged and payment plans are also an option.

  1. Supported Tier:

    For those who identify as low income and are having difficulty affording the standard rate. Sliding Scale of $60 - 75/hour.

  2. Standard Tier:

    This is the current rate that will help me sustain my own livelihood, and support the work and exchange that we are doing together. This is the tier that most clients should inquire about when booking with me. Rate: $125/hour.

  3. Supportive Tier:

    For those who can afford it and are feeling generous, this tier helps support my livelihood and provides additional resources for those who cannot afford the Standard or Supportive tier rates. This is the tier you choose if you are willing to help contribute to sponsorship of a supported tier consultation. Rate: $150 - 200/hour.

All prices are in USD.

Testimonials

“I don't usually resonate with spiritual content, but when I came across Crystal something about her approach compelled me to take the leap. Crystal's mix of spiritual practices and cognitive functions made so much sense to me and immediately helped me interact with clients, friends, family, and the world, with more tact and comfort. Crystal's hybrid approach to merging spiritual and science gave me to confidence to really own who I am while learning how to relate to, and write for, my ideal client. Before, even as a copywriter, I was afraid to be too blunt and harsh for people. Crystal gave me insights into my gifts, and now I feel so rooted in who I am and how I can use those gifts in ways that better resonate and serve my clients. If you're ready to own the gifts that make you the only person who can do what YOU do, Crystal is for you.”

Monica Schrock, Unsocially Inclined

“Crystal helped me tap into my real self to completely understand the energetic component of who I am, my business messaging and what I have to offer. I received clarity and permission to show up both powerfully and vulnerably as my authentic self. She intuitively helped me draw out the powerful content that speaks to the SOUL of my audience in my authentic voice. I finished our session with pages of notes about myself and my vision that I turned into more than a month of content for social media and email marketing that felt soul-baring real, and also incredibly good!

Rebecca Cafiero, The Pitch Club

“I was undergoing huge shifts as a person and in my business and needed help making sense of these shifts. Crystal brought me immense clarity. She not only helped me make sense of these shifts by showing me how these shifts were related and what the bigger picture was, she also provided me with action items I could take based on what was happening. Beyond this, working with Crystal was truly a delight. She was energetic and kind and saw in me qualities that I've sometimes doubted myself for. She reassured me that my gifts are NEEDED and told me exactly why. I left our call feeling lighter, energized, and clear. I highly recommend working with Crystal to understand what your gifts are and how you can leverage them in your business, all while gaining a huge confidence boost!”
