Our Practitioner Team

Hello! I'm Kristin, an Advanced Practice Social Worker who previously worked within the medical and mental health field.  After becoming a mom & looking for answers for my son, I saw the immediate benefits of Nutrition Response Testing. Through changing how I ate so I could continue to nurse him, I felt so much better myself. Through the years I learned I had chronic Lyme, then acute painful Lyme with a new bite 6 weeks postpartum with my second son, parasites, multiple rounds of covid related issues, H Pylori, severe mold from our home's water, and more! 

I realized in 2016 my path to truly helping people to feel better needed to include providing holistic health that encompassed mind, body, and spiritual health. I graduated from Ulan Nutritional Systems Advanced Clinical Program in 2021 in order to provide the highest quality holistic testing for those who visit Family Tree. I am also a trained Lactation Counselor, BioScan Level II Practitioner, Bio-Energetic & Resonance Practitioner, trained in Belief Balancing, Thought Field Therapy and more. 

I have a passionate momma heart and my husband and I have the joy of raising our three boys (13, 8, and 2 years old). Each child taught me so very much about myself, my intended life path, and how to find breakthroughs for the toughest cases. I am truly blessed! 

 Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, working towards my Board Certification in Holistic Nutrition by the accredited credentialing board of the National Association for Nutrition Professionals (NANP). Nutrition Response Testing Practitioner, Graduate of the Nutritional Therapy Association, and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. 

For over a decade, I've faced the formidable trio of three auto immunes- celiac, ankylosing spondylitis, and Crohn's disease. Battling through it all, I've danced with biologics, navigated therapeutic food protocols to manage disease, battled with Lyme disease and it’s co-infections, mold toxicity, POTS, SIBO, H. Pylori, Gout, and even triumphed over a double hip replacement surgery due to joint damage caused by my health struggles.  

Yet, here's the exciting part – I haven't just survived; I've thrived. My health challenges have transformed into a powerful purpose, and now, I'm on a mission to guide and inspire others. I now live a non-toxic lifestyle, rebalancing my body back to homeostasis via food and foundational wellness.  I've mastered the art of pivoting my diet and lifestyle in pursuit of well-being, and I'm here to share my insights, wisdom, and unwavering passion.
