KRISTEN REID | INTEGRATIVE NUTRITION HEALTH COACH
Like many, I spent my childhood and adolescent years battling severe anxiety. After countless therapy sessions and medication, I still felt like something was missing in my journey toward healing. This led me to study Christian Psychology at Liberty University, in tandem with becoming a Certified Integrative Nutritionist. I believe deeply that the human body is made up of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. All are equal, important, and supported by one another. It's my passion to help others feel capable of living lives that feel whole and empowered. I focus primarily on nutrition, movement, and stress management techniques while also providing support for any other challenges that arise while we're working together.
