Our team
Head of Wellbeing Innovation & Earth-Based Healing
Over the past two decades, Kristin has held a variety of leadership positions at traditional mental health agencies on the East Coast. Volunteering to do goat chores on a small farm in Massachusetts, while enduring a very difficult time, changed the trajectory of her life. Since then, she has empowered and supported others in their own unique relationship with Nature for a sustainable approach to healing and overall wellbeing. When Kristin isn’t at Dunwald Farm, you can find her trying to keep up with her three high-spirited children, taking road trips to Vermont, and finding treasures in the trash.
