a beautiful life
Speaking · Abella Vita
A beautiful life
is not something
you find.
It's something
you live.
Kristina Shafton is a death doula who teaches people how to live. On stage, she brings the audience fully present for the beautiful life they have worked so hard to create.
The experience
In twenty minutes, a room comes fully alive.
The audience goes quiet, becomes fully present, and recognizes the beautiful life already happening around them.
The signature talk
A Beautiful Life.
One message, delivered at any length: a twenty-minute keynote, a short summit slot, or a powerful opening that brings the room fully into the experience. Everyone recognizes themselves in one of three quiet cracks, and each crack holds a vein of gold.
The crack is where the gold goes.
Three cracks, three golds
Everyone finds themselves
in one of them.
Pushing Through, always half a step ahead of their own life
Presence
Feeling fully present for the life happening around them.
Everyone Else First, the one who holds everyone and longs to be held
Belonging
Receiving the care and belonging they so freely give to everyone else.
A Life That Looks Beautiful, but doesn't always feel that way
Beauty
Letting a beautiful life finally feel as good as it looks.
What a host gets
An audience that remembers how your event made them feel.
Your audience feels seen.
They become fully present.
The message stays with them.
The experience becomes part of what they remember about your event.
Her invitation from stage is simple: the complimentary 5-Minute Retreat, a way for everyone in the audience to carry the experience home with them.
Meet Kristina
She learned how to live from the dying.
From the outside, Kristina had built a beautiful life. She checked every box, beautifully.
What stayed with her were the bedsides of the dying she had sat with as a death doula. In those final conversations, people spoke about the moments they had been fully alive: the people they loved, the ordinary moments that mattered, and the life they wished they had been more present for.
Everyone dies. Almost no one truly lives.
She built Abella Vita so people could be fully present for the beautiful life they've built, while there is still so much life left to live.
