ABOUT KRISTINA

Hey There!

This is my family! My pride and joy. I married my husband, Kaleb, in May of 2015. Our son, Elisha, was born in 2016, our daughter, Adley, in 2018, and our daughter, Anna, in 2021. We live in the country outskirts of Huntington, IN, and love spending time together outside as well as watching movies, having dance parties, and playing games.

I’ve been a stay at home mom since our first was born while also getting to work in the birth and fitness fields. Other things I enjoy are homemaking, running, walking, weightlifting, hiking, and traveling, as well as some simpler things like reading, journaling, listening to music, and a good coffee date with friends.

After graduating college, I worked with FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) as an Area Representative for 8 years, working with middle school, high school and college students, teachers and coaches. While loving FCA, once the idea of becoming a doula and starting my own business came into the picture in 2019, it was a path the Lord clearly led me down. Getting to come alongside women and their families through one of the biggest changes of their lives made becoming a doula was a perfect fit. Little did I know, a little later down the road, my passion for fitness would come into the picture as well. I became a personal trainer through NASM in 2022 and have added several certifications in that realm since.

This line of work is an absolute privilege. It is a complete honor to get to come alongside women as their families grow and help them have the support they need.
