Welcome

Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit ~B.K.S. Iyengar

Welcome! I’m Kris, a passionate holistic nutritionist with a PhD in Nutrition. My journey in the world of wellness has been a rich tapestry woven with deep expertise, diverse experiences, and a profound commitment to nurturing the whole self—mind, body, and spirit.

Expertise Rooted in Experience

With a robust academic background and experience that spans public health, community nutrition, and research, I bring a comprehensive approach to wellness. My PhD has equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of nutrition science, while my work in community-based nutrition has honed my ability to translate this knowledge into practical, accessible guidance for individuals and communities.

I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, from low-income communities and newcomers to busy parents and individuals seeking a healthier lifestyle. These experiences have taught me the importance of tailoring nutritional advice/education to fit each person’s unique needs and circumstances.

A Heart-Centered Approach to Wellness

Beyond my credentials, my true passion lies in the holistic integration of mind, body, and spirit. I believe that nutrition is not just about what we eat but also about how we nourish our entire being. My approach is deeply rooted in compassion, empathy, and a genuine desire to support you on your wellness journey.

I approach each client with an open heart and a listening ear, recognizing that true health encompasses emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. My goal is to empower you to make informed, sustainable choices that resonate with your values and aspirations.

Whether you’re navigating the complexities of dietary needs, seeking to balance life’s demands, or simply looking to enhance your overall well-being, I’m here support you on your wellness journey.

Aside from nutrition, I’m a coffee addict, bookworm, dog lover. I’m so glad that you’ve decided to stop by. I hope you’ll find this site is a great resource…

THE “WHY”


I reached a point when I realized I wasn’t satisfied with path I was on. I felt that my life was out of balance and that something wasn’t quite right but I couldn’t figure out how to get back on track. Eventually, I realized I needed work towards a more natural, holistic lifestyle that reflected all the parts of myself. I also learned that I wasn’t alone…others could relate. And so I started Holistic & Whole to help others on this exciting journey of holistic health.
