Hey, I'm Kristie!

Board Certified Integrative & Functional Nutrition Practitioner. Chronic Illness Warrior. Root-Cause Detective.

Let me share how my own healing journey became the foundation for the Balanced path to healing I now share with others—and why I’m so passionate about helping YOU finally feel seen and supported. 🤍

In my 20s, I lived life at full throttle. I owned a fitness studio, competed in natural bodybuilding, ran a meal prep company, and managed one of the top-performing gym franchises in the country. On the surface, I looked like the picture of health. But behind the scenes, my body was quietly unraveling…

What began as fatigue and gut issues spiraled into something far more complex. Over the past decade, I’ve navigated CIRS/mold illness, chronic Lyme disease, POTS, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, SIBO, and immune dysfunction. These weren’t just diagnoses—they were life-altering, invisible battles that left me physically debilitated and emotionally drained.

And yet, I never stopped searching for answers…

While my career in fitness paused, my education never did. I immersed myself in research, case studies, clinical webinars, and healing protocols. I eventually became a Board Certified Integrative & Functional Nutrition Practitioner, because I refused to let my future be dictated by my symptoms—or let anyone else suffer the way I did for nearly a decade.

Now, I help others like me reclaim their health, their hope, and their life.

You don’t need another generic protocol. You need someone who understands what it’s like to live in a reactive, exhausted body—and how to gently guide it back to balance.

Through my Balanced path to healing, we look beyond surface-level symptoms and work together to untangle the root causes of complex, chronic illness—especially the ones that traditional medicine often misses.

**You deserve more than temporary relief. You deserve real answers, personalized care, and a plan that actually works for you.**

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a very active person and fight to eat a balanced healthy diet so I didn’t see a reason other than curiosity and my wife had seen Kristie before. I did a full gut map and bloodwork to see what may be going on with me. I had very few symptoms, so I thought, but wow do I feel better. I didn’t realize how much inflammation my body was holding. I was over training to lose “fat” but since meeting with Kristie I’ve lost almost 10lbs of inflammation and I don’t feel as bloated after large portions of protein because my digestive system is starting to process foods better with the little tweaks I’ve made in my diet. People think I’m on a diet but I’m just eating differently and the results are manageable and will last. 100% recommend seeing Kristie. She is there every step of the way to help figure out works for your body instead of just throwing pills at you to mask issues. Go for it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kristie is a literal ANGEL! I was struggling for almost a year with severe anxiety related to to hormonal fluctuations and some other things.  I reached out to Kristie and she was like “let’s go on a deep dive” and we did.  We hit road blocks bc I live in NY but we found a way around them and after a deep dive into my bloodwork we found hormonal issues, thyroid issues and Kristie was ready to battle it all. Fast forward 3 months after my first consult and I am feeling about 70% better than I was. I am by no means against western medicine but I am a firm believer as a former paramedic that incorporating holistic medicine with western medicine is something we all need. If you are having ANY issues do not hesitate to contact Kristie. She is driven by her own personal struggles and her passion to make sure no one else has to struggle through any illness. Read her bio you will understand. 💜

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just wanted to post on how Kristie’s balance app has been a blessing to me during my health journey. I am so grateful to have been referred by some family members many years ago when my gym had closed down because of Covid.

Kristie is intuitive to personalizing one’s health needs and exercise goals. She takes into account your health challenges and can also adapt an exercise routine that works best for each individual according to any restrictions or difficulties. She offers healthy food recipes that are actually very yummy and clean! Her exercises are fun yet challenging, and can be modified to accommodate one’s level of fitness.

Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into your clients health and wellbeing. I can see that you have a passion for coaching and overall wellness. Also, I love the new app and how it’s tailored to each individual client’s needs.
