I Understand the Cost of Imbalance
And the Power of Realignment
After years of working as a nurse, I saw how chronic stress and disconnection affect every part of our well-being. Today, I work with women to guide them towards realignment through evidence-based care and traditional wisdom to create sustainable change.
I believe in redefining balance not as perfection, but as authentic and sustainable living.
I help thoughtful, growth-minded women create an integrated and sustainable self-care system that fits seamlessly into their demanding lives. This approach allows them to navigate challenges with centered confidence and show up fully present for their most valued relationships, without the guilt of neglecting their own well-being.
Meet Kristen
Board-Certified Holistic Nurse & Concierge Wellness Coach
I’ve been a nurse for nearly twenty years, with most of my experience in critical care. While I’ve always been drawn to holistic and complementary health in my personal life, I began to feel a disconnect between my personal and professional worlds, supporting patients in survival while longing to help people truly thrive. That realization inspired me to shift my focus toward a more integrative, whole-person approach to wellness as a holistic nurse coach.
I love getting to know people on a deeper level, understanding what motivates them, what they value, and what brings them alive. Sharing my experience through working with clients on authentic wellness practices to help them create more balance, fulfillment, and meaning in their daily lives is an incredible privilege.
My goal is to help others recognize that we don’t have to stay trapped in the cycle of just getting through the day. I envision Balanced Bohemian as a space for authenticity, awareness, and connection, a reminder that intentional living and wellness is grounded in everyday living, not perfection.
I’m especially passionate about helping women integrate wellness into their daily routines in attainable, sustainable ways. Rather than following fleeting trends, I focus on each individual’s values and vision to identify simple, high-impact practices that feel authentic and therefore lasting.
