I’m Chrissy Diamond, integrative therapist, energy medicine practitioner, consciousness midwife and founder of Holistic Alignment.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to what lives beneath the surface of life — the emotions we carry, the patterns that repeat, the subtle energies that sit behind our stories.
I’ve been exploring the healing arts for around 30 years, and offering my blend of mind–body–spirit therapies in clinical practice for over 20 years. I’m currently based in France and offer online Holistic Alignment sessions to clients around the world.
My work is for people who sense that real change has to happen from the inside out — emotionally, somatically, energetically, and spiritually.
Early sensitivity and the healing path
As a child, I could naturally alleviate the aches and pains of family and friends through intuitive touch. I didn’t have language for it then — I just knew that when I placed my hands on someone, something moved.
Over time, I chose to honour that sensitivity.
I trained in a wide range of therapeutic modalities and clinical practices so I could ground that intuition in solid, safe, embodied skills. The result is the holistic, multidimensional approach I now call Holistic Alignment.
A life changed by trauma and near-death
In early adulthood I experienced a traumatic, life-threatening injury and a near-death experience.
During that experience I left my physical body and encountered a guide who made it very clear:
I hadn’t yet finished what I’d come here to do.
That threshold experience — between form and formlessness, life and death — changed everything.
It deepened my understanding of:
- expanded states of consciousness
- the relationship between trauma and awakening
- what it really means to come back to the body and to life after profound rupture
I don’t relate to these things as concepts.
They live in my bones. They shape the way I sit with you.
Trauma, identity and remembering myself
Alongside this, I’ve also lived through sexual trauma and its aftermath, including PTSD.
For a long time my system survived by doing exactly what it was designed to do:
numbing, bracing, over-functioning, reading the room, holding it all together.
Those protective coping mechanisms helped me get through what was unbearable at the time — but over the years, they also covered over who I really was.
My healing has involved:
- meeting trauma not just in the mind, but in the body, nervous system, emotions and soul
- gently working with those protective patterns instead of shaming them
- allowing layers of identity, roles and self-images to fall away
- discovering who I am underneath the strategies, expectations and adaptations
This process of loss of identity and re-discovery of self has been both dismantling and deeply liberating.
Because I’ve walked this territory from the inside, I understand how disorienting it can be when:
- you no longer recognise yourself
- old ways of coping aren’t working
- part of you is clinging to what’s familiar while another part is longing for something truer
In our work together, I honour your coping mechanisms as intelligent — and I support you to slowly, safely, loosen what no longer serves so more of you can come through.
The ongoing apprenticeship
Since those early turning points, I’ve been in a continuous exploration of the physical, psychological, emotional and metaphysical dimensions of being human.
My work is an ongoing apprenticeship to:
- the nervous system and the body
- the subtle energy systems
- emotional and trauma resolution
- consciousness and awakening
- the mystery that moves through all of it
Over decades, this has heightened my ability to sense energy, track patterns, and tune into the deeper intelligence moving through a person’s system. In sessions, I listen not just to your words, but to your body, your field, your emotional tone, your symbolic language.
How I work with you now
I’m currently living in France and offering holistic coaching / Holistic Alignment sessions online.
Together, we might work with:
- Talk therapy and deep listening
- Processing stuck emotions from historic trauma and stress
- Unwinding habitual thoughts, emotional loops and behaviours
- Kinesiology and PSYCH-K® (Psychological Kinesiology)
- Subtle-body and energy medicine tools to clear blocks and support flow
- Supporting you to develop your own sensitivity and intuition
I don’t see you as a problem to be fixed.
I hold a safe, attuned space where all parts of you — body, heart, mind, and soul — are welcome.
My intention is always that you leave sessions with:
- more understanding and clarity
- more connection to your own inner guidance
- a deeper remembering of your true essential nature
If you’re seeking emotional support to navigate life’s hurdles, or you feel called to develop your own ability to sense energy and listen to your intuition, I would be honoured to walk beside you.
By sharing my toolkit of energy medicine techniques and cognitive therapies, my hope is that you feel more senior, sovereign, and at home in your own life.
