Meet Kristen

Hi, I’m Kristen—I hold a B.A. in Psychology with a focus on neuroscience and emotional resilience, and I bring that scientific foundation into my work as a HeartMath-certified coach and contemplative educator, with a passion for bridging the science of the brain with the depth of the human spirit.

Through my academic work in neuroscience and positive psychology, and my global presence as a meditation teacher on Insight Timer, I’ve cultivated a body of work focused on nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and soulful self-inquiry. My approach blends research-informed tools with archetypal storytelling, trauma-aware practices, and contemplative methods to support people in reconnecting with clarity, rhythm, and self-trust.

I’ve led hundreds of live meditations for a global audience and guided ongoing spaces like the Women Who Run with the Wolves book club, where we explore feminine mythology and symbolic storytelling as pathways to inner wisdom.

SoundMindScience was born from the belief that healing and thriving are not opposites—that we can be both scientifically informed and soulfully guided. I created this space to help people learn how their minds and bodies work, embody that wisdom through practice, and align with lives of integrity, intention, and care.
