10 Fun Facts About Dr. Krystal

• I am a die-hard Boston Bruins fan. I grew up in northern NH with a hockey dad. He would take me to games, 3.5 hours south, as long my homework was done and I kept my grades up. BONUS: Ray Bourque was my favorite player. After he’d retired, I might have caught wind he’d be dining in a Portsmouth restaurant one night. I may have proceeded to the parking lot near by and waited for his arrival. I may have met my all time sports hero that night!

• My spirit animal is the dolphin, in fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve been a dolphin in multiple past lives. Dolphins are so attractive to me because of their consciousness, compassion and high vibrational energy. I was lucky enough to once see the birth of a new dolphin. The momma, after giving birth, nudged under the baby’s belly and brought her to the surface for her first breath. Life unfolding in nature fascinates me to no end.

• I was an “outcast” as a child. I was good in school, athletic and creative, but what I loved more than anything was dancing in the huge field of flowers behind my childhood home with no one around for miles.

• I met my best friend in the world when I was 6, in first grade. We are still besties today.

• My husband, Piotrek, is Polish, born and raised in Poland. Every holiday, I attempt to cook traditional Polish meals, except I make them vegan and gluten free! (you can laugh, I sure do)

• I love dressing up in costumes, especially themed costumes with multiple characters. I’ve won prizes for Pipi Longstockings, The Wizard of Oz, and Grease. In recent years, I’ve dragged my husband into costume dressing for our dance company’s events. We’ve been dressed as Steampunk, Patriots gear, Dirty Dancing, and even a mythological monk and goddess from Chinese lore.

• My hubby and I have two nearly naked cats, cornish rexes, Zuli and Melody. They are the most loving and naughty creatures I’ve ever met. They light up our world.

• I hate ‘exercise’ for the sake of exercising. Physical activity has to have purpose for me to enjoy it. My favorite exercise is and always has been dance. Luckily, having a dance company, I dance with the love of my life everyday!

• We live on a farm property in Stratham NH. We bought the property in 2019 and named it Stenella Farms for our love of atlantic spotted dolphins (stenella frontalis). When we bought the house, we thought the entire renovation of our home and land would be done in 4 weeks when we moved in. HAHAHA! We’re still going.

• I have a poison garden on Stenella. Poison plants are powerful healing allies, sharing the duality of shadow and light.

I’d be honored to connect with you on social, in a healing session, through mentorship, or in one of my programs!
