Meet Your Guide, Kristin Onderdonk

Hey there! I’m a mom of five, a wife, a professional with over 30 years in healthcare and finance, and part of a blended family in long-term recovery. I know firsthand how essential it is to find real, lasting stress relief and even a bit of humor along the way.

  • From coaching clients to raising my family, running, reading, or practicing Tai Chi by the water, I’m all about savoring life’s moments, big and small, and helping others do the same.

  • I recharge through travel, art, and connecting with the world around me. My favorite playlists? They’re filled with everything from Alicia Keys and Lauren Daigle to Fleetwood Mac and Cyndi Lauper.

  • As a reformed perfectionist, my mission is to restore a bit of heaven on earth into how we live and work, fostering peace and connection.

If you’re here because you’re looking to find more joy in your journey—even through the messy parts—we’ll get along great!
