How to Live Apologetically with Hilltop Life
Coaching for Happy, Inspired, & Love-filled Lives
The world needs more happy people. At Hilltop Life, I will guide you on how to live an authentic life filled with love and passion. Hilltop Life was born out of my dedication to teaching and coaching. Together, we will create a life with more happiness, clarity, alignment, expression, and positivity. You don't need to know how to get there; you just need to be open to the possibilities.
Hi, I'm Coach Trystan
Since 2017, I've been an IFC certified life coach, an advocate, and the founder of Hilltop Life. I help LGBTQ+ and non-monogamous folks move past "just getting by" and start living with bold intention.
The "HILL" Philosophy
I chose the name Hilltop because I believe everyone deserves a Happy Inspired Love-filled Life.
In our community, we’ve often had to fight for these things. I’m here to help you reach that vantage point where you can finally breathe deeply and see your path clearly.
The "No-Explanation" Zone
You shouldn't have to spend your coaching sessions teaching your coach about polyamory, gender identity, or queer dynamics. At Hilltop Life, the "101" is already covered. I provide a high-trust, expert container where we skip the explanations and dive straight into your evolution.
How We Work Together
I lead with deep empathy and actionable strategy. We don't just talk about feelings; we build a toolkit for the real world:
-
Mastering Communication in complex relationship structures.
-
Setting Boundaries that protect your peace and your heart.
-
Aligning Your Daily Life with your true values and identity.

Coach Trystan kept me going during a very traumatic time that turned out to be the end of my career. She is kind and understanding. She also assisted me in creating some goals for my retirement that I am excited to start to implement.

Coach Trystan is someone I can 100% trust to share my deepest, and often most extremely confusing and challenging inner thoughts with. I sometimes find the simple act of just speaking your truths and stressors aloud to an intensive listener like Trystan provides relief, clarity, and healing energy. Her positive attitude and ability to objectively analyze my life's circumstances without judgement and provide unbiased guidance to me is something I will cherish and remember forever. Even though some of our sessions are "hard" and extremely personal, I always look forward to chatting (and laughing!) with Trystan. I knew she will hold me accountable and wants nothing more than for me to maximize my life's potential.

We contracted with Trystan, to facilitate our all day DEIJ Committee Retreat, with desired outcomes of strengthening our connection as DEIJ Committee members as well as finalizing models to transition from our DEIJ Strategic Plan to an annual DEIJ Implementation Plan. It was a pleasure to work with Trystan, as she intentionally created an environment that ensured that participants could connect more deeply as well as openly and honestly share ideas for moving our work forward.
