No more restrictive, hard to follow diets or exercise rules that make you miserable

Make changes you enjoy that will last a lifetime

Reshape your life: feel good, energized, confident, and get back to doing the things you love

Let’s face it… it’s hard to make healthy changes

It's hard to know what to do.

And even when you do know, there is an enormous gap between knowing and actually making it happen.

You try to make changes and start off with good intentions to "be strong" and have "willpower," but just end up feeling frustrated and discouraged with how hard it is to actually make those changes stick for more than a few weeks.

If you’re really being honest

  • You’re sad about how much of your life you miss out on because you feel embarrassed to do things or you just physically can’t
  • You feel like a failure because you’ve tried all the diets and programs, yet you still feel like you just don’t have the willpower to stick with anything longterm
  • You're tired of feeling like you're not in control; like your life is happening to you and your health is slipping away
  • You're worried about your future because you’ve seen how these same health issues have impacted the lives of your loved ones

The truth is, it's hard to change deeply ingrained, life-long habits. Making sustainable  changes to your routines and habits is absolutely possible; you just need a little help and expert support to get there.

Are you ready to stop letting your health limit your life?

You absolutely can regain your health and even lose weight, without ever going on another diet

You are fully capable of building new healthy habits that stick, and it has nothing to do with willpower; you just need the tools to get there

In fact, you can increase your energy, improve mental clarity and be healthier than you thought was possible, once the pieces of your life start to fall into place

It's all connected...

The same factors that drive one chronic condition are the ones that drive the majority of chronic conditions

When you make changes that positively impact one condition (cholesterol, for example), it can have a positive impact on other conditions such as autoimmune disease, blood sugar, blood pressure, and even the risk of some cancers. Read more.

Menopause is connected, too

When it comes to midlife changes such as perimenopause and menopause, many of the symptoms you're experiencing will be positively impacted by lifestyle changes. The symptoms are in fact, a sign that you need to start making changes.  Why?  Because not making lifestyle changes has a domino effect that can lead to high cholesterol, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, and more.

Are you ready for a new approach to health that shifts focus away from weight, food restrictions and rules and towards a whole-person approach based in lifestyle medicine, positivity and a growth mindset?

Welcome!

I'm Kristina - a Registered Nurse and Lifestyle Medicine Health Coach

I get it!  I understand the challenge of struggling to manage an illness that changes how you live your life. I know first-hand the difference that health coaching makes. I suffered many years from a debilitating autoimmune disease that profoundly impacted what I could do in my life. But through lifestyle changes and the support of a health coach, my autoimmune disease no longer impacts my life. I've nearly eliminated the medication I take, no longer have flares, overall feel great, and can consistently participate in the activities I love.

That is the power of lifestyle medicine health coaching!

I've spent the past 6 years coaching patients specifically in lifestyle medicine, both on my own and partnered with medical providers. I know that change is hard, and it can feel overwhelming to even think about trying.

But with my support helping you create a solid plan, you really can improve your health in a way that fits your life and is sustainable over time.

Work with me

Create sustainable habits that will change your life.

I use a gentle, supportive, and collaborative whole-person, weight-inclusive approach.

I'll help you shift beyond what you think is possible, bridging the gap to where you want to be.

Everyone has the capacity for positive change and I want to help you find that capacity within yourself.

Individual Coaching

Work with me for personalized support to create sustainable habits that will help you feel your best and reduce your chronic disease risk. We'll work together to move past what is holding you back and co-create a plan to increase your energy, improve your health, and get back to doing the things you love.

Group Health Coaching

Engage in a supportive community that encourages and assists you in making sustainable, healthy changes for your life and health. Groups are a small, intimate, nonjudgmental space to explore and create healthy change. Groups will be held throughout the year and will focus on healthy living topics or specific health conditions.

Workshops and Events

Workshops, webinars, and other events will be offered throughout the year.  Learn new information and tools, explore working on a new approach to health and weight, or supplement work you are already doing. These are an excellent opportunity to briefly immerse yourself in a healthy topic and gain valuable tools and knowledge.

Here's how you get started

BOOK AN FREE CONSULTATION

Tell me what’s happening with you and what you really want your life to look like. Together, we'll determine the best course of action for you and your health goals.

CREATE YOUR CUSTOM PLAN

Work with me to learn the tools and information you need to make the big changes you want for yourself. Create new healthy habits that will transform your health, fit your life, that you actually enjoy, and will last. 

ENJOY FEELING GREAT

 Improve your health, feel energized, confident, and feel the lightness and freedom that comes from feeling good about yourself and loving your life.

Happy, Healthy Client Results

"Kristina is an amazing coach"

“Before I started coaching, I was struggling with mindless eating, good nutrition, and following through with healthy changes. Now, I eat veggies and fiber with each meal and as a result, I feel better in general, am not as hangry, and have lost at least 15 pounds. I also had skin issues on my hands which have almost entirely cleared. Kristina is an amazing coach - she was positive even when I was not and created a really supportive group.”
- Lisa Sunshine, High Point, North Carolina

"Long Term Strategies vs a Diet"

Carol lost 14 pounds and lowered her A1c, cholesterol, triglycerides, and ESR (inflammation marker) : “Coaching has given me the confidence that I can follow through with making healthy changes. I have learned long-term strategies vs a diet that is not sustainable. I’m confident that if I shift off track,  I can get right back on track, whereas in the past, I would have been discouraged and given up. Healthy choices feel more natural now and I no longer need to spend as much time focusing on them." - "Carol" in Arizona

"It really helps to have a coach to support you!”

What I discovered through our work together is that when something is a challenge, it really helps to have a coach to support you! I felt that Kristina could see my steps forward when I couldn't. I appreciate her understanding of what the journey towards a healthier lifestyle looks like. She helped me reflect on achievements made - no matter what size.
-H.F., Vermont
