Kristen is an outdoor enthusiast; sweat lodges, mountain climbing, whitewater rafting, photography and the list goes on. Her fearless, adventurous approach to crafting an extraordinary life continues as she inspires and invites others to do the same.

Her personal journey with food has been transformative! It is no mistake that each life experience builds and leads to the next transformation in life. Kristen is a raw/vegan foodist with much joy, appreciation and gratitude for the food that mother earth provides for her mind, body and soul.
