What Clients Say
STOP & FLOW has been integral to our addiction treatment services programs. When I first met KO in 2017 to learn about the health benefits of STOP & FLOW I was immediately sold on integrating this into our programs. Our patients have reported a decrease in withdrawal symptoms and level of stress as a result of participating in these easy-to-follow moving meditation experiences. STOP & FLOW has also been made available to our employees to offer skills to combat compassion fatigue and burnout. STOP & FLOW promotes self-care and improves overall health

Participating in STOP & FLOW was like watching something magical take place in myself and others. I would see the stress and tension melt away and smile, a lighter hopefulness and peacefulness in the faces of the patients who attended. Within myself, my own stress was lowered and emotions were calm and regulated. If I was experiencing any pain, the pain level was almost always lower at the end. The patients would identify their pain, stress, and cravings were lower after a Stop and Flow session. The room would be calm and KO has a way of connecting with the group to make each person feel valued and cared for. I especially appreciated having a therapy group after STOP & FLOW because the group was so deeply connected and cathartic with deep processing and healing after a STOP & FLOW session. I looked forward to these staff sessions as wellness Wednesdays in order to take time out to care for myself during the workday! This should be in every treatment agency for both staff and patients! Everyone benefits! STOP & FLOW is wellness inside and out for staff and patients to be our best selves! I love, love, love STOP & FLOW!

The sessions I have invested in with Kristin have been a peaceful and harmonious break in my day. I value the work that can be done in self to find balance and inner serenity. I feel this and other activities I invest in are paramount to me to maintain homeostasis.

Doing STOP & FLOW has helped me learn how to be present and focus on the moment. It always leaves me feeling more clear-minded and with a better sense of calm. Also, doing STOP & FLOW with my patients, who are in Addiction Treatment Services, has given them such a great tool to use for coping. It has helped them learn how to take a moment to just stop, and focus on taking life one moment at a time. They always leave a session with positive energy flowing in the room.
