Hi! I’m Kirsten.

I can’t tell you what came first. My fascination with health and wellness or my love of travel and adventure. They have both been knocking at my door most of my life. It's no coincidence that I am now fully immersed in another culture, collaborating with expats and international school communities to facilitate their transitions, discover serenity and happiness in new cultures and lifestyles, and achieve balance and wellbeing globally. I’m here to help you recognize that when health and travel merge, life can be absolutely outstanding.

  • "If you want a paradigm shift in how you approach overall health and wellness, I recommend Kirsten Pontius to lead you on a journey to a better way of life."
