Hello, my name is Kristin Lynn Zelakiewicz , I am a dedicated Registered Nurse and graduate student pursuing my Nurse Practitioner degree, bringing both clinical expertise and holistic wellness into my practice. With a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, I blend modern medicine with natural healing, drawing strength and clarity from my deep connection to nature.
As a certified reflexologist and former personal trainer, I’ve long understood the mind-body connection and the importance of movement, breath, and balance. My background in physical fitness supports my belief that true wellness begins with grounding—both physically and emotionally. Whether I’m hiking through wooded trails or sharing healing touch through reflexology, I am passionate about helping others reconnect with their bodies and the natural world around them.
With a heart for healing and a soul rooted in nature, my mission is to create safe, restorative spaces where people feel empowered, connected, and whole.
