What clients and coaches say
-
"Kristen has been a coach and a mentor to me and is an absolute legend in the functional health space. Kristen is so incredibly intuitive, meets her clients where they are at, and brings so much soul to an otherwise transactional relationship. She will listen, and care as deeply for her clients as they care for their own successes! If you've been considering working with her, her knowledge and methodology are exactly what you need so don't hesitate!"

"Kristen is incredible! Since working with her I've learned so much more than I could have imagined. I learned about the amazing benefits of fasting for hormones, energy and overall wellbeing. I will admit I was skeptical at first since everything I had been taught seemed to go against this. She also introduced me to some other amazing tools that I've added into my healing journey that have made such a difference in my health. Her ability to personalize her work to the person in front of her and her kind, encouraging attitude are invaluable in a practitioner. Kristen is such a gem!"

Inside the checklist
What the Stuck Case Checklist covers
When a case stalls, most coaches add another supplement. The ones who get results ask what's out of order. Open her file, give this 20 minutes, and find out whether your client is stuck, or your sequence is.
Tick a box only if you can answer yes with confidence. An empty box isn't a failure. It's where your case is hiding.

One thing from inside the checklist
The medicine is also how you speak. Stability, safety and a predictable cadence are interventions. A calm, consistent coach regulates a sensitive client before any supplement does.
For educational use by practitioners. Not medical advice. Work within the scope of your credential and state, and refer out or coordinate with the client's provider for testing, prescriptions and anything beyond your scope.
