Welcome,
I’m Kristen.
I believe the soul knows what the body needs.
Authentically Me.
I’m a Mama of two incredible little humans, a few animals, and LOTS of plants.
I’m also a protector of the 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 community.
Adventure and stillness are BOTH necessary.
I'm ALWAYS learning and ALWAYS listening.
Trusting and surrendering are a 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.
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, for the most part, 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.
From classes in functional nutrition, and apprenticeships in herbal medicine to becoming a certified practitioner in women's functional medicine, and a certified New 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 WILD 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.
A New Story
We are magical souls living a human experience and
we are here for ALL of it.
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.
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.
Taking my formal and informal education (the science), I’ve blended it with elements of spirituality in order to embrace the true embodiment of holistic wellness.
I fully believe we can’t deny one or the other, science or Spirit, and that we must look at all of our being to truly heal.
