Meet Kris (Miss Kriss) | Hashimoto Coach

"Everything you give attention to, with love, grows!"

I combine my experience in care, holistic massage, and a deep curiosity about nutrition and the human body. I love sharing my knowledge in a warm, practical way so that others feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

📖 Who I Am
I am Kristen: caring, eager to learn, and hands-on. I have worked as an independent entrepreneur and gained valuable experience in home care and childcare. With my background as a holistic massage therapist, I always look at the bigger picture—body, lifestyle, and context.

💼 What I Do
I work at the intersection of well-being, bodywork, and practical care. I have been living with Hashimoto's since 2017; this personal journey deeply motivates me to better inform and support my fellow thyroid warriors. That is why I am currently developing a support and information app dedicated to Hashimoto's, bringing together my knowledge and experience to offer practical, daily guidance.

⚙️ How I Work
With warmth, precision, and a calm presence. I take the time to explain things, listen deeply, and always reflect back what I hear. Guided by my emergency response (BHV) training, foundational medical knowledge, and therapeutic training, I work mindfully and responsibly, always continuing to learn.
