Rev. Criss Ittermann is also known as The Crisses, and is a group entity. We met each other officially when we were 16 years old. We studied many holistic arts, life coaching, Interfaith ministry, and neoshamanic practices as a group, but some individuals stand out in various disciplines.

"Criss" - anyone and everyone

Even though we were multiple quite young, we learned to 'pretend' to be one person to escape awkward questions and unwanted scrutiny. That still serves us to this day. Most people don't know (or don't want to know) that we're multiple, and even being out of the storage facility about it doesn't mean that we want invasive questions or the confrontations and accusations of non-believers or people who think that persons like us are a danger to society and need to be in a padded cell in a strait jacket. So we leave our "Criss-mask" on most of the time.

No matter who is fronting, we all answer to "Criss" and generally prefer to be simply called Criss unless we are safe and comfortable. So regardless of who is working on your team on the inside of The Crisses, just feel free to call us "Criss".

The reason that we're describing our internal team of coaches and their specialties and styles is because it may help you feel more comfortable to "get to know us" rather than worrying about who you might be dealing with "behind the mask". We are very fluid, and often work in teams, brainstorming inside to help others outside. Helping people is really our life's purpose. We don't make any secret about it. And we help people whether or not they are multiple. We just think we're in a fairly unique position to help other multiples.

Aliessa - passion, stress, relationships, sex and tantra

Aliessa is our internal bright light and inspires all of the Crisses. She has a direct line to the Divine and works with higher energy levels to pull people out of the pits of panic into higher energy, loving, passionate oxytocin-based energy that is plentiful and has no negative side effects.

She also deals with relationship issues, sexuality and sexual issues, and has experience with tantra and tantric (spiritual sensuality as a whole, not just sex) philosophies.

Dreal - neoshamanic practitioner and Interfaith ministry

Our primary neoshamanic practitioner, Dreal has close spirit world ties and brings insight of broader shamanic perspectives of health and illness to bear on people's issues. She uses intuition, spirit world helpers, and insight to tune in to the right questions to ask and help our clients gain special insights.

Moonlite - classic life coach, Buddhist philosophy, and Deaf "alter"

If we work with anyone using ASL or an ASL and typing blend, they will probably be working with Moonlite primarily. Moonlight is incredibly insightful and analytic, and a gentle soul with basically a philosophy that is similar to Buddhism. She does not speak, although she may be part of an internal team of coaches working with any of our clients. She has agreed to work directly with anyone who requires text or signing. She learned American Sign Language but it was a couple decades ago, and thus our signing is rusty (but she's our best signer).

Star - herbalist, Reiki healer, physical health, alternative healing and health practices

When it comes to people who are looking for an intuitive healer or ideas on how to seek help for health issues, Star usually has special information and guidance that can be helpful. She is at least peripherally aware of many different holistic disciplines and their strengths & weaknesses, so for example she may hear a physical complaint and suggest that someone see a chiropractor for this issue, or an Eastern medicine practitioner for that issue.

Erin - career coaching, resumé review, interview techniques, job preparedness

Erin is a workhorse and has spent most of her time in our more business-focused roles — she brings our former experience as a recruiter and resumé formatter to help people work on being ready to change jobs or (re)enter the workforce.

Almerissa - mental discipline and self-discipline, willpower, mental self-defense

While she may not front, Almerissa is one of our internal protectors and may give advice or assistance when dealing with someone who needs tips or advice on how to strengthen their mental force of will, etc.
