MORALIS MACHINA WAS BORN FROM A SIMPLE IDEA:

Learning should be practical, engaging, and yes, even a little bit fun.

WHY WE STARTED MORALIS MACHINA 

Let's be real - too many CEUs are boring and don't give you much you can use on the job. Kristyn saw that and decided it was time for a change. Moralis was created to fill that gap, offering BCBAs OBM training that's not just informative, but transformative. 

We're a team of folks who've been there, done that, and are ready to help you do it even better.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Moralis Machina, we believe learning should be something you look forward to, not something you dread. We encourage you to ask questions, try new things, and put what you learn into action. 

Our courses are designed to help you push boundaries, challenge norms, and make a real difference in your work.

Because when you're curious and bold, that's when the real magic happens. 
MEET THE FOUNDER

"Be obsessed with the problem"

Dr. Kristyn Peterson
PhDBCBALBALSSMBB🏆 2× OBM Network Award
OBM isn't a job title. It's an approach, and Dr. Kristyn Peterson has spent her career proving it works anywhere you're willing to take it.
Kristyn started where most BCBAs start: pediatric autism work. But early board certification landed her in a leadership role fast, and that's where everything shifted. She started applying OBM inside an ABA setting... and it worked. What didn't work was the business model. Most ABA treatment settings weren't values-aligned for her, but she loved the science too much to walk away from it. So she did what any behavior analyst would do: she identified a new context and ran an experiment.

That experiment became Moralis Machina. Kristyn holds a PhD from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and is a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt. She was formerly Co-Director of the W.O.R.K. Lab at The Chicago School (the OBM-focused research lab serving master's and PhD students) and is a two-time recipient of the OBM Network's Outstanding Applied Intervention Award. She now teaches BCBAs to apply OBM skills in organizations, operations, and systems well beyond the clinic.

Her approach comes down to one distinction: are you obsessed with the problem, or just admiring it? Too much OBM education stops at the framework. Kristyn teaches practical, assessment-driven skills; the kind that help you move from analysis to action in whatever context you're working in.
OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
When she's not teaching, Kristyn is somewhere in Utah's national parks (Capitol Reef is the favorite), doing something in the garden, or being supervised by Salami, her bulldog, who runs a loose schedule of chaos. There's always an audiobook in her ears, and given unlimited resources, she'd be a professional student forever.
