Meet kristen

Anxiety and Fatigue had a grip on my life.  I wasn't living life, I was surviving. 

That was my story for years.  But it's not anymore.  

But first, let me introduce myself: I'm Kristen Bruinius - known to many of my friends as KB because my last name is ridiculously hard to pronounce and spell. 

I'm a mom of three amazing kids, one fur baby and married to legit my best friend. 

After we had 3 kids in just over 3 years I found myself drowning in fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, weight gain and menstrual issues.  I literally couldn't make it through an entire day without napping, and I ran my whole life around that schedule.  I was sleeping away life because I just couldn't pull an "all dayer."

I would often wake up with what I called an "elephant on my chest."  I struggled to catch my breath, to think clearly, and to be present with my kids.  And the worst thing was - I couldn't figure out WHAT the trigger was most of the time!

Two weeks of the month were stolen from me emotionally - the week of ovulation and the week of my period.  I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin with the surge of hormones during both events, and the pain and heaviness of my menstrual cycle kept me homebound and miserable. 

All the while I was caring for young children who were looking to me for guidance, love, and joy.  At times I just couldn't give it, because my cup was so empty inside. 

Fast forward to late 2017 - I was at rock bottom.  I had been seeing doctors since my son was born in 2013 and no one could seem to explain WHY I felt the way I did.  Some things helped a bit, some things helped for awhile, but nothing seemed to help long term. 

A simple Google search opened my eyes to the word of herbs, balance, and holistic wellness and changed my life forever. 

I quickly noticed a change in myself and my passion became telling others about this new world I'd discovered.  I had felt so alone during my journey, and I never want you to feel alone!

It is my passion to show you the love of Christ, your strength within, tools for your wellness toolbox, and to support you each step of the way. 

When you're ready, I'm here.
