About Kristi

Health care and human physiology have always been passions of mine. I dove straight out of high school into kinesiology, which quickly shifted my path into massage therapy.  As my career began as a massage therapist, I continued to pursue courses in personal training, eventually developing an interest in nutrition.  In 2011, I completed the Holistic Nutrition diploma program at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.

​

Although I had great ambitions to split my career path both as a massage therapist and nutrition consultant, my massage therapy practice was much higher in demand than I anticipated and I decided to continue my focus here. Fast forward 10 years, and my interest in nutrition was still strong so I decided to pursue more training. In March 2023, I finished the Applied Nutrition Specializing in Sports & Fitness Program through the Alive Academy. 

​

I have lived in Golden since 2005 and love being a part of this healthy, active community.  Outside of nutrition consulting, I continue to practice as a massage therapist at Knead Wellness. The rest of my time I try to spend enjoying the amazing mountains that surround us hiking, running, biking or skiing. I am passionate about weight training to become stronger at these activities and pursue them for the decades to come.  I love food, growing it, and being creative with recipes to make them healthier. I am a strong believer that healthy food does not have to be boring and bland, but it also doesn't have to be complicated, and I'm excited to share this with you!
