Mindset & Lifestyle Coach

I help women step into faith, wellness, and healing with confidence, leaving behind limitations and embracing a life filled with joy

“Take a Deep breath, you are right where you are meant to be.”

I know what it’s like to juggle faith, family, and purpose while feeling like there’s never enough time (or energy) to do it all. I’ve spent 27 years overseas as a missionary, built a life filled with joy, and learned how to embrace wellness – body, mind, and soul. But my story? Oh, it’s been a wild ride.

I’m a miracle mama, autoimmune warrior, and a certified mindset & wellness coach. I’ve lived through deep struggles, found healing in unexpected places, and discovered that living with joy and purpose is possible – no matter where you are or what you’ve been through.

Now, I help women style their lives from the inside out – whether it’s curating a home that brings peace, traveling the world on a budget, or shifting mindsets that hold us back.

Thoughts from those who’ve shared my journey

"Kristina is full of the light that comes from God and she lets it shine brightly! She uses her skills to serve others, creating a photography ministry in hospitals for moms and couples who have lost a child. I like to call her my bougie missionary friend, because she always has high-end purses and glasses that she found in a thrift shop or traded with someone to acquire! Her testimony about her health journey is an incredible testament to the grace of God, and she loves to help others get on the right path and experience healing in their bodies! As a friend, she is full of fun and always ready for the next adventure! She has people who consider her their “best friend” in countries around the world and throughout the United States! What can I say? I love this sweet lady, and every time I get to see her, it’s like no time has passed at all! The connection is instantaneous! I am so thankful for her friendship over the years!"

Heidi

"I have known Kristina for years but have connected with her more in the last few years. Thankful for her and her testimony to the Lord. I love how the Lord leads her but more importantly, how she follows the Lord!"

Dawn

"One of the things I’ve noticed about Kristina is her willingness to help with no strings attached. A rare thing these days. As someone new to South Africa, from America, her help has been invaluable. From helpful suggestions on where to get the basics, how to navigate hiring people, myriad recommendations and her insights to healthy living. She’s an excellent cook who shares her recipes 🥰Fast to make friends everywhere she goes. A seasoned traveler that knows how to navigate all the twists that inevitably happen along the way. Glad to call her a friend"

Faith

"Krissi leaves no stone unturned and has FOMO in the best of ways, she found me through Young Living, because she wanted essential oils in South Africa, where she was living. See, she’s an American living in S Africa, and I was a S African living in America… we would joke we spent equal time outside our home countries. Anyhow, instantly I knew her heart was to serve, she has ALWAYS put others first and will always go the extra mile for people she holds close to her heart and anyone in need. I am forever grateful she was one of my first YL leaders in my team with a connection we always carry, through our countries. Thanks Krissi for all you do for our YL team. Love you! "

“Too many women feel trapped by expectations, believing they must choose between purpose and peace. I can show you how to break free from overwhelm, nurture your well-being, and embrace a life of joy, faith, and freedom – without guilt or compromise. It’s time to step into the life God designed for you. How can I serve you today?”
