Greetings, my name is Kristie and I feel as if I have been preparing my entire life for this moment in time. My journey as a Certified Life and Health Coach feels like home and very natural.

Love and Relationships is the upmost importance to me. My marriage of 39 years has equipped me to pull from my life experiences to support others on their journey. My committed relationship has allowed me to enjoy and stay invested in every aspect of life. I believe the key is being content with the ordinary, to celebrate the adventures, relish in the passion, find time to be creative, realize that love is full of forgiveness, respect, honesty, communicating with love and truth, being accountable, and lots of self-reflection. Intentionality is what got my marriage through the ups and downs of a committed relationship. I feel empowered and lead to guide others in having a full and robust relationship with themselves and others.  

I have a family of four grown children, which three have families of their own. The raising of my children has taught me resiliency, compassion, acceptance, the importance of self-autonomy, empathy and so much more. My children range between 25 years of age to 35. My focus was to raise them with love and acceptance and give them the value of faith. Faith in themselves, faith in others and most important faith in their Creator. With the Higher Power as their source of guidance they could make it through anything! They have and continue to flourish and be productive contributors to the communities in which they live and they intentionally accept each day as a gift and choose to enjoy their everyday life. Raising my children, has yet to be the most important and toughest part of my life, and oh so rewarding! As a family we have experienced, venture, numerous accomplishments, created nonprofit organizations, hold rewarding careers, countless success, as well as many failures, disappointments, discord, unforeseen trauma and hardships. We are experts at falling and getting back up again and again. Let me guide you to the art of living a full life and obtaining peace and joy in it all!

I am a proud Nana of nine grandchildren, who keep me young at heart and challenge me daily. I have learned to embrace the chaos and the numerous opportunities to practice patience.  I have gained the ability to adapt to the expediential times we live in, and to learn a thing or two from my grandchildren, as I am a lifelong learner. My Life and Health Coaching comes in handy as I guide and support my grandchildren by encouraging them to use and share their unique set of gifts. I have mastered the ability to coach on balance, healthy boundaries and embracing the moment.

I have years of experience in caring for aging parents and the challenges that come with that. Providing love and care to my father as he battled the cruel disease of Alzheimer’s, has shown me the importance of providing dignity and respect to him as it was slowly stolen from him. Taking my father in law in our home for over 5 years was a challenging time, but a rewarding one too. Guiding them both through the dying process with love and light was one of my most memorable and spiritual moments.  My 98 year old mother is currently a big part of my life and she has an abundance of knowledge and lived out wisdom that she continues to show me. I know all too well that caring for an elderly parent is extremely taxing and challenging. I continue to share my life experiences in this arena to those who seek guidance. I offer the knowing that being seen, heard and supported is everything!

I value family and invest my energy into keeping a close and loving relationship with my six siblings and their families. We may not always like each other, but we do love one another and it has been an amazing journey. Let me teach you the secret! As you can see I have a built-in clientele who have and continue to seek my coaching gifts. They continue to provide me opportunities to put my methods of coaching to the test. I am rewarded by seeing them live a joy filled life overflowing with purpose and passion.

Outside of being a Life and Health Coach, I am the Admission Director & Program Coordinator for a Physician Assistant Program at a private university. Our team is the most amazing human beings. We show up with an energetic spirit and an a attitude of excellence. Cultivating a healthy and productive work environment creates high job satisfaction.  Our students who are pushed to the limits continue to show up with an eagerness to learn and grow. This is the results of implementing healthy life skills and creating a positive and supportive environment. Life and Health Coaching can bring your workforce to a whole new level of greatness, by creating job satisfaction which equals productivity!

Creativity is an essential part of my way of living and I value what it brings to myself and others. With my small cookie business called “Kristie Kookies” which are truly one of a kind (they may weight a ½ pound each!)  has brought out the creativity in me. This unique gift of mine allows me to use my creative side and bring a smile to someone’s face. Let me draw out your creative side, and be prepared for some new found joy.

With Gods guidance, the use of tried and true information as well as backed up science and psychology, there is a new way of living and it’s available for the taking. I will coach on simple habit changes, which is key to unlocking your true desires.

I am committed to helping others live out the life they were created to live and most importantly, to live it by enjoying everyday life.  

Are you ready?  because I am ready for you!
