My Journey Into Holistic Health
"My journey with alternative healthcare began when my parents were diagnosed with cancer."
My interest in holistic health began when both of my parents were diagnosed with cancer. Their experiences led me to start researching nutrition, natural health approaches, and complementary wellness options. During that time, I was introduced to biofeedback, which sparked an interest that eventually became a much larger part of my life.
I wanted to bring these types of wellness resources to our area, so I pursued additional education and training in the holistic health, nutrition, herbalism, aromatherapy, naturopathic studies, and biofeedback. That journey eventually led to Natural Health & Wellness in Ottumwa, Iowa.
Today, I work with clients who want to take a more proactive, whole-person approach to their wellness. My goal is to help clients better understand lifestyle and wellness factors, provide individualized nutrition, and connect them with supportive natural wellness services.
What began as a personal search for answers has grown into a passion for helping others become more informed and involved in their own wellness journey.
I UNDERSTAND MORE THAN YOU KNOW
A PERSONAL NOTE FROM KRISTIE...
We are all on our own unique health journey, and I understand how frustrating it can be when you don't feel your best or aren't' sure what your next step should be. My approach is to look at the whole person - not just one concern - and help you better understand areas of your health that may need support.
Together, we can explore natural wellness options, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and personalized recommendations based on your individual needs and goals. I believe there is a place for both conventional and holistic approaches to health, and that being proactive about your well-being can make a meaningful difference.
WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER
I love what I do, but outside of Natural Health & Wellness, I am also a mom, daughter, sister, and grandma. I understand how easy it is to take care of everyone else while putting yourself at the bottom of the list.
My own experiences are part of what led me down this path and why I'm passionate about helping others feel heard, supported, and more confident about their wellness choices. You don't have to change everything overnight. Sometimes the most important thing is simply understanding where you are, deciding where you'd like to be, and take the next step.
READY TO CONNECT?
Not sure where to begin? A Full Body Biofeedback Health Scan is a great first step. It gives us personalized insight into areas that may need support and helps us create recommendations based on your individual needs, concerns, and wellness goals.
I'm here to help you better understand your options and decide what makes sense for you.
