Here is Kendra’s personal story…

From my earliest memories, I've been drawn to calmness and tranquility—whether it's soothing music, the flicker of candles, nature's beautiful serenity, art and creative outlets, or the comfort of all things cozy. Feeling an abundance of calm energy and peace has always been a driving factor in my life.

From a young age, I constantly strived to live a healthy lifestyle. Establishing my own fitness and wellness business in my early twenties felt like a natural progression. My life—and good health—seemed to move along seamlessly for two decades.

But life, with its unpredictable rhythms, took a sharp turn. A cascade of traumatic, stressful events, both personal and professional, occurred over a short span and deeply shook my inner calmness. The fallout? I experienced insomnia, memory problems, hair loss, daily exhaustion, headaches, feelings of loneliness and overwhelm, focus issues, weight gain, loss of creativity and productivity, digestive troubles, heart palpitations, and a slew of other alarming and debilitating health challenges.

Chronic stress had upturned my life. The methods I'd previously relied on to manage stress and promote relaxation no longer worked or fit into my evolving lifestyle. Traditional relaxation methods like yoga and meditation had never truly resonated with me, prompting me to look elsewhere. I was determined to set my health back on its rightful course and midigate stress.

With unwavering determination, I immersed myself in extensive research, driven to reclaim my tranquility. My journey led me through the realms of both scientific health approaches and alternative healing, both of which I studied with sheer determination and excitement. I was hungry for solutions. Along the way, I garnered several more wellness certifications.

Combining this newfound wisdom with my foundational wellness knowledge, I unlocked transformative techniques and modalities that renewed my health and made the journey both delightful and sustainable. And, it was heartening to see my clients' health transform even more profoundly when I integrated these techniques into their wellness programs.

And so, "Creating Calmness" was born. I'm a firm believer in the deep interconnection between our mental and physical well-being, both of which are essential for a life bursting with joy and fulfillment. While we can't avoid life's stressors, we can choose our response to them and equip ourselves with effective ways to manage chronic stress and create calmness.

Join me on this enriching journey. Together, let's create a life overflowing with health, calmness, and joy. Thank you for being an invaluable part of our vibrant community!
