From a young age, Kristen felt called to serve. After receiving her BA degree in 1989 and having a brief career in Environmental Science and Marine Biology, her calling led her to passionately pursue spirituality and the healing arts. She began with the study and practice of herbalism and holistic healing, which also incorporated the ancient healing science of Ayurveda from India. She became a certified massage practitioner in 1991, and her introduction to Yoga came at that time as well. She has since come to experience of Yoga in the broadest sense of the word, meaning “Union” or “Yoking with God.”
In the mid-1990′s, she underwent a Spiritual Awakening through the grace of God and A Course in Miracles, and now dedicates her life to this magnificent, on-going experience. She appears in the recent documentary, “A Course in Miracles Unleashed,” a deeply moving film sharing experiences of spiritual awakening from around the world. From her home-base in Wisconsin, she travels abroad extending the light of this transformative teaching, and the limitless peace, love and joyous singular Self-Realization that is our natural inheritance, and indeed, the true goal of all Yoga.
