You work hard to do your very best in every area of your life while balancing your work and home lives. But you find yourself feeling stuck, guilty, overwhelmed, and tense. While you excel at what you do, you end up feeling like nothing is ever good enough, the weight of these emotions and responsibilities takes a toll on your mental and physical health. You’re not sure what to do, but you long to feel more like yourself as quickly and efficiently as possible.
That’s where we come in.

Meet The Inner BalanceTherapists
Find Inner Balance With Me, Dr. Kristin Calverley
Throughout my time working as a Psychologist in Calgary and Houston, I noticed a specific need that needed to be met in my community. I saw hardworking women - both professionals and stay at home moms - eager to feel more balanced, alive, and live a life full of meaning. I also witnessed how their struggles were affecting all aspects of their being.
For over a decade, I’ve been a successful CBT therapist, helping thousands of women just like you through anxiety, reproductive concerns, and chronic medical issues.
As a former yoga instructor and 25-year meditation expert, I value the importance of the mind-body connection. I felt called to help women, people just like you, with their mental and emotional struggles while also acknowledging their physical and spiritual health.
Because everything we experience in life is intertwined, I believe we have nothing without having peace of mind. I wanted to help individuals find calm, enhance meaning, and learn the incredible value of practicing self-compassion.
That’s why I founded Inner Balance Psychological Services.
In my free time, I’m often found frolicking on an outdoor adventure, experimenting in the kitchen, and spending time with my loved ones.
I am an active member of Postpartum Support International, Psychology Association or Alberta, Alberta OCD Foundation, and the International OCD Foundation.
