Hello, I’m Kristina Benkmann — proud mom to my adopted furry loves, Toto and Gizmo; a passionate horseback rider; an amateur chef for my family; a devoted book collector; and the lucky wife of the most wonderful soul, my Dennis.
Today, I am a transformational coach, but my professional journey has been anything but conventional. I spent years as a model before earning my law degree and passing the bar exam, successfully practicing law. On the surface, my life appeared polished and perfect, supported by my loving parents. Yet beneath that facade, I was struggling — constantly battling inner turmoil and suffering.
My physical health was in ruins. I endured multiple severe conditions: stomach ulcers, migraines, PCOS, IBS, recurring bacterial infections, thyroid issues, myomas, and high-functioning depression. I found myself repeating toxic relationship patterns, and although I loved my profession, I knew deep down that it wasn’t my true calling, passion, or purpose.
After turning 30, everything changed. My internal struggles and illnesses became unbearable. A series of traumatic events pushed me over the edge. My high-functioning depression became so devastating that I felt completely paralyzed. I realized I had to make a radical change.
