Story of Soul
Kristen has an artist’s soul, a truth seeker fueled by adventure- she adores all things Body and Botanicals. Raised with a love of the outdoors and exploration, her grandparents instilled the knowledge of native medicinal plants from a very young age.
Nature has always been the backdrop of Kristen’s life. Her grandparents hiked the entire Appalachian Trail, taught her how to ski at 3, ride motorcycles, and cover large amounts of ground on bicycles. They founded Monocacy Hill in Douglassville as a non profit organization and poured their heart and soul to making it what it is today.
At age 23, Kristen embarked on a solo journey to live and work in Yellowstone National Park, which turned into 6 years in Jackson, WY and plenty of backcountry snowboarding. In 2011 Kristen moved to Maui and lived there for almost 3 years. Hawaii captured her heart, it was here where she jumped into Yoga Teacher Training after only practicing for one month. She also worked on a biodynamic farm in upcountry Maui and a permaculture retreat on the Big Island.
Imagining she would always and forever live in the Hawaiian Islands- Kristen began to feel the pangs of missing the seasons and the roots of home. To her astonishment, she made the decision to move back to Pennsylvania and the Big Woods of French Creek- more of a soul calling mission she would soon find out. Easter 2014 Kristen found herself in her final resurrection of drinking- this run in with the law forced her this time to wake up and truly face herself, sober. It was a shattering experience- but at the same time an initiation. Years later, another dark night of the soul found Kristen as a shadow of herself- this time from a challenging relationship. In 2016 she gave birth to her son, and birthed herself with a new mission- becoming a mother, but not how she dreamed it would be. Life works in mysterious ways- Kristen made the heart wrenching decision to split from this unhealthy relationship when her son was 2 with the intention of raising him in peace.
Kristen soon discovered strength, confidence, holistic health, and detox practices. Yoga was the springboard into the body. In 2019 she launched her business Soul Bloom Florals as a specialty cut flower farm and design company- this was the healing she brought to the world through beauty, color, and scent. In 2021 she expanded into creating an entire organic skincare company, plant powered from the herbs she grew on her land. These rituals for radiance became the hub to teach the importance of clean beauty, detox, and self care to “know your glow!”
Kristen now holds certification in Thai Massage, Ayurvedic Acupoints, Reiki Master Teacher, CranioSacral Fascial Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Draninage, and licensed Massage Therapist. The body became the doorway into how to live a truly embodied life.
If there was a way to know what the future would hold, Kristen never could have guessed she would wind up meeting one of the most important people in her life- her son’s father’s girlfriend! They became fast friends on a deep level and Kristen was hired to her company to go to school for colon hydrotherapy- but it was here where she became utterly fascinated with the art of Muscle Testing (Applied Kinesiology). She learned how to truly understand the story of the symptoms through becoming a Root Cause Health Practitioner specializing in whole food nutrition & detox. Always sparked by curiosity, and awe of the intelligent wisdom the body holds- Kristen now had the tools to offer a truly transformational approach to wellness. This holistic lifestyle became the format for her son in both homes. In 2021, on the summer solstice- Kristen and her partner said their vows in the woods and a beautiful wedding ceremony sealed a deeply supportive and nurturing relationship.
Her passion is helping people lead a holistic life. One of her favorite modalities is the Emotional Alchemy Sessions which combine muscle testing with essential oils and flower essences.

She helps you learn the language of your body, to discover what your body will reveal- relax deeply, and naturally heal.
