Kristine's lifelong passion for dance and the theatre was the driving force in her life journey. Since she was a young girl, her heart was set on becoming a professional ballet dancer. Ballet consumed her life, fueled by her unwavering passion and dedication.Her dream came true when she achieved the coveted position of principal dancer in a local ballet company, affording her the extraordinary opportunity to study with the prestigious Boston Ballet.
However, fate intervened, and a foot injury abruptly disrupted her ascent. Surgery was inevitable, and she faced a daunting hiatus from the stage that shook her world. Upon her return to the studio, she was confronted with a sea of younger, astonishingly talented dancers. Their effortless grace and impeccable skills served as a constant reminder of her own limitations, intensifying her insecurities and self-doubt.
Hi -I’m Kristine
Hari Shabad
Several years later, Kristine found herself at a crossroads when approached to teach dance. Initially hesitant, she eventually agreed, and it was in this decision that she unearthed a profound sense of fulfillment in sharing her knowledge and profound love for dance. Teaching quickly evolved from a mere occupation into her true calling, as Kristine became a mentor to countless young individuals on their quest for self-discovery through movement.
However, Kristine's journey didn't culminate with her departure from the ballet stage. In the pivotal year of 1997, she embarked on a transformative path, transitioning from dance instruction to specializing in injury recovery and prevention. This transition led her to immerse herself in the worlds of Pilates and Gyrotonic, disciplines that offered holistic approaches to health and well-being. As she honed her expertise, Kristine's journey took an even more meaningful turn, as she collaborated with medical professionals to aid individuals in their rehabilitation from both major and minor injuries, further solidifying her legacy as a dedicated healer and guide on the path to recovery.
In 2003, a significant turning point arrived with the birth of her son. This life-altering event changed Kristine's trajectory as she confronted the challenges of postpartum depression and her son's epilepsy diagnosis. In her quest for healing, she embraced practices such as kundalini yoga, meditation, and sound healing.
Over the past two decades, Kristine has embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery, experimenting with various integrative techniques to enhance her own well-being and that of her family. Her extensive experience has led her to work with individuals facing a wide range of health challenges, including Down syndrome, dementia, Alzheimer's, head trauma, severe back pain, and cancer. She has also assisted those seeking to boost their energy and overall well-being. In addition to her healing work, Kristine is a dedicated coach, offering both individual and group coaching services. Through personal experience, she has witnessed the remarkable and transformative impact these healing techniques and coaching can have on people's lives
Motivated by the life-changing benefits and positive impact these techniques and coaching have on individuals and communities, Kristine is wholeheartedly dedicated to sharing them with others. She firmly believes that these modalities hold value for everyone, regardless of their circumstances or age. It is her privilege and passion to guide you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery

Meditation is one of the tools in my toolbox that I wouldn't live without.
Each reflection in the mirror seemed to mercilessly reflect her perceived shortcomings—the imperfections of her appearance and physique taunting her dreams loomed over her like a dark cloud. It was with a heavy heart, consumed by the suffocating weight of doubt, that Kristine made the excruciating decision to relinquish her cherished dream and sever her ties with ballet. That fateful day marked the moment when her doubts triumphed, and she walked away from the studio, never to return.
The Sound Path" was born out of my deep connection to sound. As a practitioner of crystal singing bowls, sound holds both literal and metaphorical significance. It represents strength, solidity, and righteousness. Meanwhile, "path" embodies movement, direction, and purpose. By using sound to restore energy pathways in the body, "The Sound Path" encapsulates my practice's essence—a transformative journey of harmonizing and aligning the intricate human energy system
The Sound Path
In 2006, my Kundalini Yoga teacher bestowed upon me the name "Hari Shabad." "Hari" symbolizes God, while "Shabad" means "song" or "sound." Together, they represent the divine melody, celestial resonance, and harmonious hymn of God.
Though initially unenthused about the name, I set it aside for nearly four years.
Then, a captivating encounter changed everything—I discovered the enchanting world of crystal singing bowls. Was it mere coincidence?
Have you ever received a gift that didn't resonate with you at first? You accepted it politely, stashed it away, as it didn't align with your desires. But years later, while cleaning out your closet, you see it in a new light. You realize it was a true gift, and you're genuinely grateful. That's how I feel about my spiritual name today. I'm honored being called Hari Shabad and cherish the serendipity that surrounds it
