Welcome, I'm Kristina!
Like many of my clients I experienced a "healing crisis" / "wake up call" before finding wholistic healing. After undergoing an emergency appendectomy in 2008 I was determined to learn more about supporting and cultivating optimal health. I was young, in my "prime" and the emergency surgery sent me in a tail spin of confusion as to "why" my body seemed to be breaking down. I soon came to realize that this was the experience I needed to help me "wake up", change my lifestyle to support the health I knew was possible. On this wellness journey I've cultivated a holistic approach and a mission for women's health specializing in supporting pregnant and birthing families, preconception through beyond the postpartum period.
I began my professional career in holistic health after receiving certification as a Holistic Nutrition Consultant through the American College of Healthcare Sciences in 2012. One insight led to the next as I continued down a rabbit hole of health and wellness, completing many certifications and broadening my scope of practice as a wellness advocate, licensed massage therapist, yoga instructor and doula.
When I’m not massaging or teaching yoga I study herbalism, wildcrafting and plant identification. I also enjoy being crafty, hiking and preparing tasty nutritious foods for my partner and family. I am truly passionate about supporting you to feel your best and feel confident to make informed decisions that will benefit you and your family.

Kristina is an absolute GEM! I wouldn't have chosen anyone else to be my massage therapist for pre-natal care or any other time. She has incredible energy and her services leave you feeling like you're walking on a cloud. Completely calming, restorative but also rejuvenating.

I’ve had many massages from Kristina, I will say absolutely the best massage, clearly this is a personal thing to rate. But I have had massages all over the world in many countries and many states in the US. Kristina is the best , her knowledge of the techniques, including stretching is unsurpassed. I would also say her personality, sweetness and all around just nice! My experience unparalleled!
Can’t wait for the season to begin

Kristina guided me while I labored at home as long as I could. Then met us at the hospital when I could no longer focus at home. She was more than amazing during my entire birthing process. She helped give my husband and I the confidence and support that we needed to have the natural and unmedicated birth that I so wanted! Her post partum home visit was amazing as well.

What they have to say>
Kristina's services were astounding before and after pregnancy and especially during labor and childbirth. We were so grateful for her presence during our 30 hour hospital labor (to which Kristina was there nearly the entire time!) and served as a communicator for us when I was unable to communicate with nurses and staff due to hard and active labor. She knew exactly what we wanted and her support and encouragement took the fear out of natural childbirth.

Kristina was an amazing part of our home birth plan. She was a wonderful doula who provided great support to my husband and I especially while I was in labor.
