Hi, I’m Kristan Roth

For a long time, I used positivity as my main coping mechanism, believing that focusing on the bright side would be enough to heal. But after years of ignoring my body’s whispers—chronic pain and fainting spells—I reached a turning point when a fall forced me to reimagine my path forward. That moment led me to promise myself the care I would give my own children, not just for my sake, but for theirs, too.

Traditional medical solutions fell short, and I realized I needed to find something else so I began exploring practices like mindfulness, meditation, and polyvagal theory—at that time they were considered fringe. My curiosity led me to study Interpersonal Neurobiology, a field focused on how the brain, mind, and relationships shape our well-being and behavior.

Applying these learnings in a Communication group that incorporated Internal Family Systems was challenging at first. I’d sit with a list of emotions in our meetings, unable to name what I was truly feeling until days later. I was so accustomed to saying the “right thing” instead of tuning into how I felt. Learning to honor the different parts of myself brought powerful change and helped me see the wisdom in our emotions.

As I started feeling my feelings more deeply, I sometimes became overwhelmed—this is where Emotional Freedom Techniques helped me process emotions safely. Later, I trained further in polyvagal theory, using new approaches to support healing.

Through this work, I discovered that healing isn’t linear or about bypassing discomfort—it’s about nurturing awareness and embracing each part of ourselves with compassion. I created Revively as a sanctuary where mind, body, and spirit meet, and where change feels safe, supported, and sustainable.
