Welcome
Hi, I’m Dr. Kristi.
For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by human behavior and potential. I'd often wondered: Why do some people create lasting change, while others (despite their effort and desire) stay caught in the same repetitive patterns?
That question has influenced both my personal life and my career. My work began in nutrition, deepened into naturopathic and functional medicine, and ultimately expanded into science-based transformational coaching, subconscious reconditioning, and nervous system resilience.
Over two decades, I've worked with thousands of people navigating chronic health challenges, emotional struggles, complex relationships, career and business pressures, and major life transitions. Their circumstances were different, but one recurring theme kept surfacing:
Our results are shaped not only by what we consciously choose, but by the deeper patterns running beneath our awareness.

Many people know what they want and what they don't want. What's often missing isn't just motivation. It's their internal foundation that needs strengthening: the beliefs, identity, emotional resilience, and self-trust required to create it and sustain it.
I've seen this in countless clients, and I've definitely lived it myself. It's what led me to this work.
Today, I help men and women understand the connection between mind, body, and the subconscious patterns that quietly shape their lives. Together, we uncover the hidden beliefs, conditioning, and outdated identities holding them back, and consciously build new patterns that support greater health, confidence, fulfillment, and purpose.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you're not stuck. If you're ready to start creating what you truly want, I'd love to hear where you are and where you'd like to go.
My Story
The upheaval that led me here.
Some of my greatest lessons haven't come from my education or clinical training. They've come from my own personal setbacks and awakenings.
Several years ago, at the height of my career, my life unraveled. It felt as if a landslide had swept through and taken everything with it. From the outside, things looked good: busy, successful, social, happy. On the inside, I felt overwhelmed, depleted, and disconnected from myself and the people around me. The life I was living no longer aligned with who I was....and who I wanted to be. I was merely trying to keep up with what was familiar and comfortable to me, even though I was deeply unhappy.
The burden I was carrying was too much. And finally, everything I'd been holding together gave way.
That collapse exposed the unsteady way I had been functioning for most of my life: a chronically dysregulated nervous system, overworking, over-enduring, people-pleasing, neglecting my own emotional and social needs, and constantly measuring myself against everyone else's "highlight reel."
In the months that followed, my life slowed down. I mean....really slowed down. And I was left with a question I couldn't avoid: If I'm not rushing through a never-ending to-do list, always staying busy....then who am I?
That question forced me to look more honestly at the patterns I had been choosing, both consciously and unconsciously, for many years. With greater awareness and intention, over time, I began redirecting my energy toward something far more meaningful and authentic.
It was one of the most painful, challenging and humbling seasons of my life. It also became my wake-up call, and my invitation to change how I'd been living my life.
While I'd been diligently practicing self-care for years, this time, I committed more fully to my own inner work: daily meditation, nervous system healing, rewiring sabotaging subconscious patterns, and raising my internal "set point" so that my progress and growth would be sustainable. I stopped merely talking, writing and teaching about change. I began to truly embody it. Every single day.
Far from easy, there were setbacks, resistance, and moments that stretched me beyond what I thought I could go.
Gradually, I rebuilt and recreated my life, my business, my finances, and my relationships. Most importantly, I rebuilt the relationship with myself, this time on a more stable foundation of self-awareness, self-trust, self-compassion, and forgiveness. And I learned to let others in and receive, opening myself to the nurturing, healing support of community.
This experience taught me what transforming your life from the inside out truly requires. I also knew I wasn't alone. So many people are standing at a similar breaking or turning point, a threshold, a crossroads - wondering what comes next.
Everything I teach and share with my clients is profoundly shaped and inspired by that journey. If you're standing at your own turning point, I'd be honored to support you.
Education & training
What began as a love for food and cooking as a child, later became a degree in Dietetics & Food Science - the foundation of health that nourishes the body from within.
That passion led to a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and for the last 20 years, I've practiced functional medicine, guiding and supporting patients with complex health conditions and addressing the root cause(s) of illness and symptoms.
Along this journey, in working with my patients and in my own life, I realized that a deeper level of healing - beyond the physical body - is imperative for real transformation to occur.
Through extensive professional training, my work has evolved to include life and business coaching, mind-body connection, neuroscience, nervous system regulation, subconscious mind reprogramming, the science behind meditation, and more.
With my coaching clients, I bring all of this together with the inner work that makes change possible and sustainable.
Born and raised and back living in Northern California, I enjoy strength training, yoga, hiking, water sports, adopting new plants, cooking, exceptional coffee, live music and deeply connecting with people, locally and globally.
