Kristen has mastered the all-natural way with combinations of essential oils and current techniques to not only calm the body but mind as well. She believes in the process of getting better it is crucial to keep a positive mind set. “Seeing people that have tried so many times using conventional methods and feel defeated; to having them reach a place where they are hopeful and striving again to feel better is the most rewarding part of what I do.”
While pregnant with her first son, she began researching a more natural lifestyle that has since led to a slight obsession with nutrition, essential oils and anything pertaining to pregnancy and childbirth. In her free time, Kristen enjoys exploring the Lowcountry with her family. Biking and visiting surrounding beaches are always a fun way to enjoy time with her loved ones on her days off. She is currently embracing homeschooling so that she not only can spend more time with her two sons, but also to be involved in their mental and emotional growth.
