Prenatal and Postpartum Nutrition Coach
Fitness Instructor
Founder of Thrive after 35 and Simple & Strong
Hi, I’m Kristina.
Hi! I’m Kristina and I'm a wife, mom to two little boys ages one and three, former physical education teacher, nutrition coach, and fitness instructor. For more than 15 years, I taught health and physical education and helped people build healthier lives through movement, nutrition, and sustainable habits. I hold both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Health and Physical Education and have continued my education through nutrition and fitness coaching because helping others feel their best has always been a passion of mine.
After becoming a mom at 37 and welcoming my second son at 39, I developed an even deeper passion for supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. As a mom still living this season myself, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to sort through information, make decisions, and care for everyone else while trying to care for yourself.
One of the greatest lessons motherhood has taught me is that knowledge creates confidence. The more I learned about nutrition, movement, recovery, and working with the season I was in instead of fighting against it, the more empowered I felt. That's why I love educating women. My goal is to provide support, guidance, and practical tools that help moms make informed decisions that feel right for them and their families.
I believe motherhood is one of life's greatest gifts, and I feel grateful for the opportunity God has given me to walk alongside other women during such a meaningful season.
What excites me most about Dwell is creating a space where mothers feel seen, supported, and cared for. Every mom deserves access to education, encouragement, and a community that reminds her she doesn't have to navigate motherhood alone.
It is truly an honor to be part of your journey, and I hope to help you feel supported, informed, and confident as you navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood.
