Hey, I'm Kristina
I believe that healing from trauma doesn’t have to be so difficult. I’m a trauma survivor, author, speaker, and disabled mom. I spent years doing “all the things” to heal from my trauma—yet I still struggled. Imposter syndrome and anxiety interfered with my career, relationships, and even my physical health. It took over 15 years, and then my life finally radically changed when I learned about how emotional trauma affects the body. I realized that Western Medicine isn’t necessarily trained to understand trauma, and many people like me aren’t getting the help we need. Today, I am happier, stronger, and more resilient than I ever dreamed possible… because I discovered the science of healing from trauma. Now, I’m committed to showing women the path to more effective healing.

It's time to unlock your highest potential
For the past 15 years, I have been studying psychology, neuroscience, and trauma to help me heal from my deep trauma wounds. I felt stuck for so long, and Doctors told me, “this is the best you can expect.”
It was a constant battle to get through the day, and I often wondered if things would ever get better. I struggled with chronic pain, anxiety, and toxic relationships, and I felt so lost.
It all changed when I began to understand the profound mind and body connection… and through this journey, I finally started to heal and better yet, thrive.

I'm Kristina Bentle
Abuse survivor, young widow, suicide attempt survivor, disabled mom
My story is a testament to the fact that you can overcome anything life throws at you, from childhood trauma to becoming a widow at 24, surviving a suicide attempt, suffering from chronic pain, an autoimmune disease, and being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition.
I’ve faced a lifetime of struggles in not even four decades alive on this earth. I want to share the lessons I’ve learned, so you don’t have to continue to struggle so deeply.
