Meet our Health Coach!

Kristen Dahlem, RN, Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach

Kristen is a Registered Nurse and a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, an affiliate of the Institute for Functional Medicine. Her background in the health and wellness industry extends over fifteen years, but her most valuable experiences are the result of facing her own health challenges as a young adult. After gratefully discovering the powerful influence that diet, lifestyle, and cultivating a healthy mind/body have on the self-management of her chronic diagnoses, Kristen has become quite passionate about supporting others who are ready to create positive changes to improve their individual state of wellness. She believes there is nothing more empowering than being at the helm of our personal journey and that optimal wellness is possible for all.
Kristen brings her positive energy and passion for wellness to her local community and when she is not coaching she finds peace and adventure by the ocean and through her passion for travel.
