About Me

Kristina Founk, RCH, CT, BA Psyc.

Hi, I'm Kristina

A Clinical Hypnotherapist dedicated to helping women (and open-minded individuals) find calm, clarity, and lasting change.

Based in Calgary, I offer online and in-person hypnotherapy using an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach. With over a decade of experience in crisis counselling, a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Simon Fraser University, and registration as an ACTA Counselling Therapist, I bring both professional depth and lived experience to my work.

Why I Do This Work

At 21, I was told I had an anxiety disorder and would always struggle with anxiety. What I heard was: this is permanent. For years, I learned how to cope — staying busy, pushing through, managing symptoms, and trying a wide range of therapies and wellness practices — yet anxiety still lived quietly in the background.

After years of fertility struggles and the loss of my first son, the birth of my daughter brought my anxiety to the surface in a way I could no longer manage.

That’s when I found hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy didn’t create a dramatic breakthrough — it created quiet, lasting change. I began sleeping better. I felt calmer. The constant background anxiety slowly loosened its grip, leading to a gradual but profound shift in my mental state.

That experience inspired me to train as an ARCH Canada Accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist through the Canadian Academy of Clinical Hypnotherapy in Calgary (CACHYYC).

My Approach

I specialize in supporting women experiencing anxiety, insomnia, trauma-related symptoms (including PTSD), phobias, and challenges with self-confidence and burnout. My approach is centred on:

Individualized Treatment
I work one-on-one with clients to create personalized treatment plans based on their unique experiences, goals, and needs. I don’t use scripts or prefabricated protocols — sessions are tailored and evolve as you do.

Root-Cause–Focused Hypnotherapy
Using evidence-informed methods, I explore the underlying patterns contributing to emotional distress rather than focusing only on surface-level symptoms, supporting meaningful and lasting change.

Trauma-Informed Care
As an experienced Crisis Counsellor and certified Trauma Therapy Practitioner, sessions are paced with care and grounded in safety, consent, and nervous-system awareness.

I’m also honoured to be recognized as one of the Top 10 Best Hypnotherapists in Calgary by CleverCanadian.com and TheBestCalgary.com.

If you’re ready to release what no longer serves you, I’d be honoured to support you.

What My Clients Say

Melissa S

I am new to hypnotherapy and wasn’t sure what to expect, and this was absolutely amazing! Kristina took the time to understand me and my goals really well, and then created a safe, relaxing environment for exploring some of my anxieties. I walked away from our session feeling calm and content.

Louisa L

Kristina’s hypnotherapy and support was exactly what I needed to regain my confidence after having a sleepless year with a new baby, and amassing a lot of anxiety around sleep. Her hypnosis sessions were as relaxing as they were helpful and lasting in effect. I went from waking up with panic attacks to sleeping peacefully through the night. I enjoyed the experience, and looked forward to each hypnosis session with Kristina, coming out of each session with a greater sense of peace and confidence around my ability to sleep.

Jamie C

Kristina was honestly the best therapist I have ever been to. I have been struggling with depression, irritability, and mood swings for some time now. I decided to try her Hypnotherapy program for 6 weeks and I can honestly say I no longer need my anti depression medication and I believe I am consistently in better moods. She was extremely thorough in her diagnosis of the deeper issues related to my state of mind and made me feel so comfortable about everything. I immensely enjoyed the mini therapy sessions before being hypnotized each week as I felt we had some very insightful conversations about why and how this was happening. I truly felt like I could tell her anything. I have and will continue to highly recommend Kristina to anyone struggling with anything as I am confident she can point you down the right path to feeling better.

Jessica Y

Kristina has changed my life for the better and I cannot thank her enough. I would highly recommend hypnotherapy to anyone and everyone and not just for anxiety, it can be applied to any aspect of your life.
