About

Welcome! I'm Kristen, your guide on this journey of self-discovery, creativity, and inspiration. Born and raised in the picturesque landscapes of Chillicothe, Ohio, my Appalachian roots have instilled in me values of independence, pride, humility, and hospitality. These core values shape the heart of my retreats, where each guest is welcomed with open arms and a warm, open heart.

At the center of my retreats lies the charming Airbnb Tiny Home, nestled like a hidden gem on the property. This cozy haven offers the perfect sanctuary for creative souls seeking both inspiration and tranquility. Here, amidst the embrace of nature, I host one-of-a-kind retreats that celebrate self-expression, artistic exploration, and personal growth.

Nature has always been my sanctuary, and animals have played an essential role in my life. While I recently experienced the loss of two beloved dogs, their spirit lives on in every retreat. My remaining furry companion brings joy, love, and comfort to my days, always ready for nature adventures and cozy snuggles, embracing all the elements of the natural world.

As a partner to Kerry, I am blessed to share a loving and supportive relationship that brings strength, joy, and balance into my life. Together, we create a foundation of care and mutual respect, making every day together an adventure.

With a bachelor's degree in social work, specialized training in empowered living circle leadership, and a passion for holistic coaching, I bring a unique perspective to my retreats. I believe in creating safe, nurturing spaces that encourage healing, growth, and empowerment. My holistic coaching approach supports guests on their journey toward balance and fulfillment, helping them align mind, body, and spirit.

In addition to creative activities and nature-inspired adventures, I offer seasonal culinary delights that nourish both the body and soul. From farm-to-table feasts to cozy fireside dinners, every meal celebrates the abundance of local flavors and seasonal ingredients.

Join me at Songbird Connections, where together, we will embark on a journey of culinary exploration, creative expression, personal transformation, and holistic well-being. Let's create lasting memories, share heartfelt laughter, and continue to spread warmth, joy, and creativity in everything we do.
