Kristie’s journey into the wellness industry is rooted in personal transformation and resilience. Originally from Seattle, Washington, she built a diverse professional background before relocating to Austin to pursue a new chapter in her life. During a period of intensive healing and personal growth, she discovered the profound impact of yoga as part of a trauma-informed recovery program. Inspired by the positive role yoga played in her own journey, she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training through My Vinyasa Practice and was subsequently invited to join the organization as an instructor. Her passion for movement continued to grow when she was introduced to Reformer Pilates, leading her to complete extensive certification training and begin teaching classes professionally.

Today, Kristie is known for creating welcoming, supportive environments where clients feel seen, heard, and encouraged. While she is skilled in guiding effective yoga and Pilates sessions, her greatest strength lies in her ability to connect with people and hold space for their personal growth. She believes wellness extends beyond physical fitness and is committed to helping individuals build confidence, reduce stress, and develop a stronger connection to themselves. Through every class she teaches, Kristie strives to inspire healing, resilience, and lasting well-being.
