Kristine Erickson, PH.D.: Dedicated Lifestyle Coach

In 2007 I quit smoking, and gradually gained weight for years afterwards. When I reached 175 pounds, I decided I needed a lifestyle change, and began losing weight through diet and exercise. My journey is about much more than physical attractiveness and fitness; it is about mental and emotional health as well. Taking on obstacles and challenges, and reaching specific goals, does wonders for overall well-being. My attitude toward life has changed dramatically, and health and wellness are now at the center of my life. In addition to a wellness coach and personal trainer, I am also a women's health specialist, working with women of all stages of life; and a certified cancer exercise specialist, providing individualized exercise programming to cancer patients and survivors.

When I was 20 years old, I was given a tarot deck by a woman, who read my cards. That deck stayed with me for 25 years. In the midst of a personal crisis, I pulled the deck back out to seek guidance. This was the inspiration to explore my own relationship with spirituality. Meditation and tarot reading have become daily rituals for me since then. I approach tarot reading from a Jungian perspective with the goal to deepen your understanding of yourself and your spiritual path.
