Elevate Life Publishing didn’t start as a business plan or a big vision board moment.

It started with me writing a puberty book for my daughter because I really didn’t want to recreate the awkward, half-explained, everyone-staring-at-the-floor-hoping-it’s-over-soon version of that talk most of us remember getting (and spent decades trying to forget).

I wanted something clear. Easy. Not too much, not too little. And definitely not something that left her more confused than when we started.

I shared it with a few friends, and their reaction was basically unanimous: You need to publish this.

Hi, I'm Kristin.

That’s when things started to shift.

TRANSFORMATION

REFLECTION

I’ve always been drawn to asking questions, researching deeply, and understanding why things work—not just accepting surface-level answers.

CURIOSITY

Even as a kid, my favorite section of the bookstore wasn’t what everyone else was reading. While other girls grabbed The Babysitters Club, I picked up a How to Breakdance book and not to brag, but I can still do a respectable pop-and-lock (minus the parachute pants).

“How does this actually work?” stuff

I’ve always been drawn to the

I test ideas in real life, learn through doing, and pay attention to what actually helps, not what just sounds good on paper.

I turn complex information into clear, practical guidance so readers walk away feeling more confident, informed, and supported.

then share it in a way that my daughter can understand. Something that feels clear, approachable, and maybe even a little funny.

When something actually helps, I want to understand why it works...

These books are created because I’ve lived them, needed them, or tested them firsthand.

I’ve lost 40 pounds through intermittent fasting, used castor oil on thinning hair and skin that suddenly decided to look… older, and navigated plenty of awkward conversations, health changes, and “why did no one explain this better?” moments along the way.

I don’t write or publish books just because a topic sounds interesting.

Experience Matters

I write the kind of books I wish I’d had sooner. Ones that are clear, practical, supportive, and easy to digest.

I draw from a wide range of real-world experience, including more than 24 years as a middle school teacher, working with over 4,000 students, and 33+ years in the Air Force Reserve. Add in a lot of living, learning, and testing things firsthand, and there’s plenty to pull from.

From personal experience

I work alongside a diverse group of professionals —pediatricians, naturopaths, educators, wellness practitioners, and energy healers — who bring real knowledge, current research, and lived expertise to the table.

Together, we pressure-test ideas, stay current on evolving research, and translate complex information into guidance that’s practical, balanced, and usable in everyday life. If something doesn’t hold up, it doesn’t make it into the book.

In collaboration with experts

Is this helpful? Is this clear? Does this reduce confusion instead of adding to it? Would I hand this to a friend I care about?

If the answer isn’t yes, it doesn’t make it into print.
