KRIS FERRARO is an author, International Energy Coach, teacher, and sought-after speaker. Leaving a lengthy career in social services to guide others in the energy and metaphysical practices she had used to heal herself, Kris empowers others through the profound promise that everyone can move from surviving to thriving. She frequently speaks to diverse groups on how purpose, love, faith, and balanced energy are the ancient antidotes to modern stress caused by our current climate of constant uncertainty. A lifelong learner in the areas of personal growth, healing, and religious/spiritual history and education, Kris applies this knowledge in her own life, teachings, writings, and her professional coaching practice. Having spent dozens of years studying Shamanism, mysticism, Jungian philosophy, New Thought, and Shadow work, along with a serious study in all things energy, Kris found the common threads woven throughout. She is the creator of Spiritual Freedom Techniques, a series of processes that combine spiritual practices and principles with energy balancing for super charged transformation. A former punk rocker, radio DJ, and performance artist, it was in healing her severe social anxiety that she was finally able to uncover her purpose and truly shine, without panic. In addition to writing and creating curriculum on transformation, and producing a cutting-edge newsletter with original photography, she writes and performs spoken word poetry and is an accomplished sculptor. When not traveling, she lives in Montclair, NJ, with her cats Ling and The Baby Cheetah. Her first book, Energy Healing: Simple & Effective Practices to Become Your Own Healer was a #1 best seller on Amazon. Manifesting: The Simple, Practical Guide to Creating the Life You Want distills 10 years of her best metaphysical teachings.
