Kris is a native Floridian, born in Melbourne and raised in Satellite Beach she has always called this community home. Her previous career as a software engineer lead her to work for companies like IBM, Harris Corp. & Texas Instruments. After her first son was born she chose a life as a stay at home mom. During these early years of motherhood Kris found herself in need of many natural alternative treatments for her son. As a result of dietary sensitivities, environmental considerations and special education concerns, Kris found herself an advocate of Reiki, traditional Osteopathic medicine, massage, nutrition and many other natural alternatives. As her two boys entered school, she felt a need to do more. For Kris, Natural Awakenings provides a venue to share valuable information with the community and encourage connections. “Natural Awakenings is about connections being made between those who are searching for help and those who can provide it,” says Kris. “Watching people connect and change lives is truly a rewarding adventure.”
