Health coaches are part of a global ripple effect.
“A health coach is your partner in uncovering the wisdom within your body, empowering you to achieve lasting health and navigate life’s challenges with confidence.”
In January 2017, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis—a moment that turned my world upside down and pushed me to search for answers outside the traditional model of care. Like many, I felt dismissed, gaslit, and was handed prescriptions without real explanations. But I believed there had to be another way.
What I discovered—and what I now help others uncover—is that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. The answers aren't in a bottle. Often, they lie in understanding your own body, your environment, and the subtle signals you've been taught to ignore.
I’m a Certified International Health Coach, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and soon-to-be Level 3 Integrative Health Practitioner—one of only 73 globally. My focus is helping people uncover the root causes of their chronic symptoms through nervous system regulation, lab education, and simple, sustainable changes to diet and lifestyle.
My clinical experience includes working alongside one of the world’s leading functional medicine doctors, where I coached hundreds of autoimmune clients through a group program and personalized care plans. Whether you're dealing with autoimmunity, unexplained fatigue, hormonal imbalance, or simply want to age with energy and clarity—I offer more than just supplements and suggestions. I offer a partnership.
Coaching has been central to my life for nearly 30 years—starting on the basketball court and soccer field, continuing in the gym as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, and now in the healing space as a health coach. I've worked with everyone from professional athletes to overwhelmed parents trying to reclaim their health.
I also host the Ripple Effect Connection podcast, where I highlight meaningful conversations and provide education helping others take control of their health.
Originally from Connecticut, I now live in Winter Garden, Florida, with my husband and our two dogs, Kahlua and Keego. I’ve also worked in sports media for over 25 years, with experience at ESPN, Golf Channel, and now SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio.
If you’ve felt unheard or stuck in a cycle of symptoms with no clear answers—know that real healing begins when you reconnect with your body and have a plan that reflects your reality, not just your labs.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start healing—whether it’s chronic symptoms, burnout, or simply feeling “off”—I’m here to help you build a clear, personalized path forward.
“For six years Kristi has been a great resource and supporter in my health journey.
Like many people, I’ve had my share of ups and downs over the years with weight management and overall wellness but I feel lucky that I can count on Kristi for the best advice when I need it the most. With so much information out there on diets, products, etc.,
I don’t trust anybody but Kristi’s advice on any health and nutrition related questions. I have never met someone as committed and as willing to educate and help people on their health journey.”
