Welcome,
I’m Kristen.
I believe the body knows how to heal, and that it wants to. I also believe that if we truly listen to it, it will tell us exactly what it needs to thrive.
Our soul knows what the body needs.
Blending Spirit and Science
I’ve taken my formal and informal educational background and blended in elements of spirituality in order to embrace the true embodiment of holistic wellness.
I fully believe we can’t deny one or the other and we must look at all of our being to truly heal.
The foundation of my practice is guiding women back to their innate inner knowing, the one that allows them to be fully connected, fully aligned, and living fully in what speaks to them as true for their own sovereign body and soul.
Let’s get Real…
I’m a Mama of two incredible little humans, and a few animals, and protector of all things earth.
My love affair with mama earth might be a bit extreme to some, but I'll never apologize. Don't even think about picking a flower from my yard without asking it permission, or expect to see a perfectly manicured lawn at my house (#wildyardmovement).
I will always live where I can be barefoot most of the year and sleep with my windows open so I can smell the breeze, hear the night noises, and feel the moonlight on my skin.
I LOVE being dirty. Perfectly polished nails? No thank you, but I'll take a dirt manicure any day!
I crave solitude (anyone know where I can find lots of land in the middle of nowhere, but still on the coast?!), but love my community.
Adventure and stillness are necessary.
I'm ALWAYS learning and ALWAYS listening.
Trusting and surrendering are my life long journey.
With an ever growing curiosity for healing naturally I let go of my years of formal higher education and my corporate America paycheck and began a never ending journey into the depths of my soul.
My first journey: healing with food.
With the fear of the unknown having a hold over me, I began to ease into this new shift and play it safe by going back to school. Doing it the "right way" I earned my masters in dietetics and began privately practicing 1:1 nutrition therapy. Fun, but not thrilling, something was still off. I didn't feel settled. I didn't fully believe in what I was teaching. I knew there was more my clients needed, I knew there was more that I needed. Of course I knew food was a powerful tool in healing, but I also felt deeply that what I had been taught was a joke. There was so much more to it than counting calories and teaching food groups, good fats vs bad fats, how much protein to eat. etc. etc. I was going in the right direction, but had only just dipped my toe in the water. I needed to fully submerge. The nudges to go deeper were strong and impossible to ignore.
I decided it was time to fully submerge. Forget putting the rest of my foot in and then ankles, legs, and eventually the rest of my body.. I took my toes back out of the water and then dove in head first.
From classes in functional nutrition, and apprenticeships in herbal medicine to becoming a certified practitioner in women's functional medicine and a certified Earth Medicine Woman, I did it all. I kept following the whispers and the closer I got to my path the louder the whispers became until they were no longer whispers but full out jubilous shouts of joy. YES SHE HAS FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!!
And THIS is how I've ended up here. Fully trusting in and surrendering to the miracle of returning to my own body. Becoming fully embodied in my own being. Living with full intention, full connection, and full alignment to creator and creation.
