Foundations

Your Virtual Vitality Program

A powerful 12-piece evidence based foundation for wellbeing.

This virtual vitality program is curated from Dr. Markell’s training in conventional and integrative medicine, 19+ years dedicated to supporting women through all seasons of life and her own journey beyond burnout.

This is a virtual program for intentional, curious and driven women watching their wellbeing take a backseat to their work in the world, stuck on the hamster wheel of go, go, go, unsure of what they need to feel well, questioning if they can slow down and still be effective, yet knowing there is more to life than this.

On this wellbeing exploration, I encourage you to ask yourself questions and make decisions right for you.

This is deliberate.

Real wellbeing has to come from within you.

Because you know you best.

~Kristin Markell MD

In Foundations, you’ll receive evidence based insights bridging the worlds of conventional and integrative medicine, trauma informed coaching and easily accessible practices to remain rooted in your wellbeing as you Live, Thrive and SHINE!

Foundations is for you if….

~You are a driven curious woman ready to integrate wellbeing into your lifestyle. You know it’s the next step that’s holding you back from your dream life.

~You are at a crossroads in life and long to uncover your value based wellbeing plan and embody this next level version of yourself.

~You have lived and excelled in the world of go, go ,go and are ready to nurture the embodied, connected, nourished version of yourself. You thought you would be happier than this after meeting so many milestones.

~Being a caregiver you focus on everyone else and have forgotten how to care for yourself. And it shows mentally, physically and emotionally.

~The voice in your head has gone beyond tough love and is just, well, mean.

~You feel guilty when you rest, no matter how long you have been working.

~You find yourself reacting to everything as it pops up and your nervous system is fried.

~Pleasure feels scary and like a “nice to have” treat.

~You don’t believe you can support your wellbeing and live the life you want. This program will rewrite the stories you think keep you successful and driven. P.S. It can be easier than you think it can.

~You prefer to explore wellbeing tenets on your own terms and timing.

Imagine this:

You know what your vision is in life and your values reflect it. Making decisions just got so much easier!

You’ve learned how to talk to and treat yourself with love, even on the tough days.

You build your day on a foundation of nourishing practices that also feel so goooood.

You claim the version of yourself that helps you live into your daily life AND your wildest dreams ✨ .

You remember play, creativity, and fun make all aspects of your life juicier.

You trust and lean into cycles, gathering wisdom from growth and the pause.

You reconnect with nature, the perfect cyclical model.

You reclaim rest as a need, not a nice to have.

You find the freedom you need through boundaries, speaking your truth, and create a plan of what true freedom means for you.

You honor your intuition along with your action.

You make beauty and pleasure a must have in your world, not a luxury.

You strengthen connection to yourself and others in your everyday. A true recipe for wellbeing.

I’m Dr. Kristin Markell and I delight in empowering women to live into their deepest joy by supporting their WILD Wellbeing.

Women only need a trusted guide to help decipher symptoms and remind them that they hold the wisdom to unlock their complete inner wellness. When women commit to their own wellbeing, the improvement in their health inevitably leads to a ripple effect encompassing themselves, their people, their purpose, and their community.

I was living my dream, caring for women, but as a full time OB GYN and mom of 2 small children, I hit a reroute after experiencing burnout.

After extensive research and exploration, I found integrative and functional medicine and the personalized options available to diagnose and treat the root cause of my symptoms. I began to notice amazing changes taking place in my own health- mind, body and spirit, as I practiced these methods myself. I knew I had to learn more for myself, my family and my patients.

After an Integrative Medicine Fellowship, certifications in Sexual Medicine, Perimenopause and Menopause Care, Nutrition, Mind Body Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, Somatic Stress Response Healing, Intimacy and Empowerment Coaching, the rest of my journey has resolidified my passion to empower women to heal, support their value based wellbeing, and rediscover what their true self needs to thrive in this one wild and precious life.

I would love for you to join me in Foundations!
