Criss Ittermann
Liberated Life Coaching/Eclectic Tech, LLC
Criss was first "initiated" as a shamanic practitioner by the vision quest of child abuse, and began journeying, interacting with the spirit world, and seeking out spiritual advice with no formal training as a child and teenager. Since then she has been officially initiated into three traditions of shamanic practice, written herbalism articles for underground women's health magazines, facilitated group sessions in special interest communities, attended Tantric workshops, and she has founded the largest self-help website for people with dissociative identity disorder (link to my autobiography) on the web. From 2001-2003, Criss assembled Loving Possibilities™, a series of adult sexuality workshops that touch on issues of trust, intimacy, spiritual sexuality, and the myriad range of possible ways that consenting adults express healthy sexuality.
What's someone with this eclectic holistic background doing in the business community anyway? Throughout all that time Criss worked in small businesses throughout NYC, from General Manager at Userfriendly on West 72nd Street through VP Accounting at Rogue Music on West 30th Street, and many other positions in the graphics industry. After a 7-year hiatus raising a special-needs child, Criss moved Upstate, a long-standing dream, and reentered the small business arena as the owner of Eclectic Tech, LLC -- as a website designer and programmer. After several years of self-delusion about living her real passion, she has turned back to a holistic practice with all her eclectic experience in small business.
Criss uses her experience, insight, patience, and intuition to help people think outside the box, set goals, plan projects, manage their needs, and bring their dreams into reality. She brings a very unique blend of psychology and spirituality to her practice as a Life Coach, peppered with her unique outlook on cultivating sacred passion and touching the spirit world.
Criss has 2 children, 4 cats, and a devoted partner. On the local front, Criss raises funds for Dispute Resolution Center's CASA program, is co-director of the National Women's In Network Orange County Day Chapter, and Criss is also a new member on the Board of Directors at Independent Living, Inc.
