Hello!

My journey into wellness…

As a yoga practitioner for 20 years, and an athlete and dancer in my youth, I was always interested in healthy living and holistic healing.

In 2016 I took my wellness studies to a deeper level and commitment out of necessity. A random accident left me in chronic pain. As a result of a tail bone injury I couldn’t sit, sleep, drive, or get through a meal without having to stand up. The chiropractic and physical therapy appointments weren’t yielding the results I wanted and I was not interested in the doctor recommended steroid injections, so I began searching for other ways to relieve the constant pain. I became exposed to many healing modalities such as: Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Breathwork, Sound Therapy, and Reiki.

Reiki became a huge part of my healing journey. With a daily self-Reiki practice I noticed an improvement…I finally started to get sleep! I wasn’t sleeping well due the incessant sharp stinging discomfort. Gradually I noticed a shift. Not only in the physical pain, but also in my mindset towards the injury and my spirit towards recovery.

After 4 years of chronic pain and diligent focus on healing, I finally reached a point where I was able to sit down without experiencing distracting, intense pains. Now, I can enjoy a film without having to get up to stretch, eat dinner without needing to stand up and move, and relax while reading a book. It feels amazing to live without constant discomfort.

Reiki is now part of my daily lifestyle—I give myself Reiki and share it with others. It continues influencing my life in many positive and surprising ways and has been a major contributor to my mind, body, and soul wellness.

During those years of recovery, I was immersed in health and wellness studies. I came across the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and I decided it was time to become a Certified Holistic Health Coach since all I seemed to do was talk about well-being with both friends and strangers!

I’m grateful for the path I’m on and the challenges that led me here. Life is such a journey! We all go through challenging times; we can choose to see these times as opportunities for growth. I’m excited to share all I’ve learned to assist you on your path to wellness.

EMBRACE health, embrace YOU.

❤, Kristina
