Sed ut perspiciatis unde.

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kristen Reed. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Kristen, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

A story of tragedy turned triumph

After an unexpected painful and traumatic divorce, I took a year and a half to focus on my healing and do the deep work. I then packed up everything I had into a storage unit, moving to Boston with one suitcase, not knowing a single person or much about the city. I came as a travel Nurse, and set out to solely focus on myself, seeing the world and gaining enriching experiences. Meeting a new partner (and my soul mate) was the *very last* thing on my mind.

When I arrived in Boston, my now husband was the very first person I met. He opened the door at my apartment building, saying “welcome to Boston” and within six months we were seriously dating and are now married with a family. (Side note: to stay true to myself, and fulfill my mission, I told him I was still committing to travel nursing to see the country more and experience different areas of Nursing. We made it work, and it was a true testament to the strength of our relationship—when we least expected it.)

Also, during this time, I started my own health and wellness practice (Nursing Your Way to Wellness) as I was still working as a bedside nurse, having created the comprehensive wellness program at Brigham and women’s Hospital. Tragically, during the Covid pandemic I had a near-death car accident being hit by a truck on the way to work at the hospital (and rescued by a fellow ICU Nurse who was also on her way to work: my guardian angel).

I was out of work for several months, in physical rehab and healing broken bones, a traumatic brain injury, and more. I then took one of the biggest leaps of my life and left bedside nursing to take my health coaching practice full-time. It has been a massive success and soul-filling beyond words. I am grateful to be exactly where I am meant to be, living my dream helping women discover optimal health and wellness to live their best life!

I hope my story helped inspire you, too. The twists and turns in life often lead us to even better destinations than we could have imagined!

Kristen, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am a multiple award-winning Registered Nurse and Certified Health & Wellness Coach earning Bachelors’ degrees in Nursing & Psychology, with a focus in physical therapy. As a National Certified Health & Wellness Nurse Coach, National Board Certified Holistic Nurse, and a leading expert in women’s wellness, I have been named “The Wellness Woman” by the Daily Item, winning “Best Health Coach” from Boston Business Women, nominated for the “Best of the City” award, a “Powerhouse Woman of Boston” by Quotable Magazine and frequently featured in national media such as NBC, CBS, Mind Body Green and Thrive Global.

The founder and CEO of health and wellness practice Nursing your Way to Wellness, I provide personalized Health & Wellness Coaching, group wellness programs, corporate/workplace wellness offerings and speaking engagements to help support others feel their healthiest and be their best.

I help over stressed, ambitious women discover LASTING HEALTH for their unique body and look & feel their best from the inside out, confident in their skin for life!

After almost 15 years of officially practicing wellness and holistic health, I have learned how to bring this valuable and life-changing information and tools women all over the world, in a way that makes feeling your best manageable, rather than overwhelming! My philosophy is all about small, practical changes that lead to big results. I’m passionate about helping women learn sustainable wellness so they can feel and be their best, without the overwhelm.

Notably, there was a time in my life when I, too, struggled with major health issues.

After two near-death accidents, it took a great deal of patience and determination to physically heal, figure out how to rebuild healthy habits, find my motivation and purpose, beat depression, and feel my best again, in a deep and sustainable way (there are no quick fixes to doing the work). These experiences were some of the hardest of my life, but they sparked a fire within me. 🔥

What I have found is that these experiences (plus more…such as thyroid issues, struggling with weight and yo-yo dieting, a soul crushing divorce, trauma, creating my new life, and more) MADE me the person I am today ❤️, so filled with gratitude for each and every morning I wake up and get to passionately serve such incredible women.

I’ve dedicated my life to helping other women reach and maintain true health and wellbeing through my proven 4M Framework™, putting equal emphasis on Mindset, Meals, Movement and Me time. Witnessing hundreds of clients achieve life-changing results, I believe with all my heart that you can, too.

I’m here for you. You can schedule a complimentary call with me to get started. I’d love to learn more about you, your wellness goals, and I‘ll share how I can support you. Thank you for allowing me to share my story.
