About Us!

We met in Missoula many years ago and quickly became the best of friends!

We have always shared a love of healthy food and living a healthy lifestyle, so we decided to attend the Institute of Integrative Nutrition together, where we earned our health coaching certificates.

It was an amazing experience and we learned so much, but once we were finished, the big question was... what do we do now?! After spending countless late nights cooking delicious food, drinking even better wine and having long conversations about our path moving forward, we discovered something we both yearned for. We wanted community. We want to meet other like-minded women that also want become their most vibrant and authentic selves - women that want to live their best lives! We felt that if we were feeling this way, there must be other women that feel this way too.

And that is when FLOURISH began.....

At FLOURISH we believe in wellness that empowers you and wellness that lifts you up.

And most importantly, we believe in having fun along the way!

Hi, I’m Kristen and I’m so glad you’re here! Let me tell you a bit about myself… I grew up in the great plains of Eastern South Dakota and after high school, the mountains were calling my name. So, I decided to move to beautiful Missoula to attend the U of M, where I quickly developed a love for living a healthy lifestyle. I have been in Missoula for many years now and my love for Montana grows deeper every day. I am a proud mama to my amazing 15 year old son, 2 adorable dogs and 1 sassy cat.

I have a strong passion for supporting local farms, nature, sustainability, cooking, great food, great wine, great music and great fun! I believe that life should not be about limitations, but finding a way to live your best life through nutrition, lifestyle and mindset.

I have struggled with health issues and have been on my own health journey for many years now. I’ll admit it’s been a long road, but I have learned a lot along the way and am committed to becoming the happiest and healthiest version of myself that I can be! Along my journey, I earned a Vegan Culinary Arts Certificate at the Institute of Culinary Awakening, which really started my love of cooking. I also became a Certified Health Coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and it was there that I learned that health is about so much more than food and exercise, it’s about the whole picture and the whole person. It’s about finding harmony in all areas of your life – health, relationships, joy, movement, creativity, career, spirituality and more. I am still on my journey, and I’m hoping that along the way, I can help others become the happiest and healthiest version of themselves that they can be too. I can't wait to meet you!

Hello! I am a joy seeking mother of one hailing from Central Pennsylvania. When I was in my early 20s I decided to venture out to the wild West! In my exploration I found Missoula Montana. I fell in love and have never left. What drew me here was the breathtaking views; skies, mountains, rivers and the feeling of complete humility. Just knowing there is something way bigger than myself. What kept me here was the lifestyle. This beautiful balance of fun, adventure, community, nature and access to delicious and nutritious food!

I received my BFA here at the University of Montana 2011 and started Maven Clean LLC. My cleaning company specializes in non-toxic cleaning, and I hold those values near and dear to my heart for my personal health and for the environment. More recently I received a health coaching certification through IIN and am currently working on a yoga certification.

Co-founding FLOURISH with my very best friend brings all my endeavors full circle! Combining my passions of food and nutrition with creativity, movement and community! I am so excited to explore and create! I look forward to meeting you!

Love Jaquelyn
