Shared by: Kristen Engelke

Kristen Engelke has always been a seeker. After studying dozens of religious and spiritual traditions, she discovered a unifying truth at the heart of them all: love, compassion, and the Golden Rule. Her own life challenges became sacred turning points when she began applying New Thought principles, releasing perfectionism, and embracing grace.

Kristen is devoted to meeting people exactly where they are — creating judgment-free spaces where authenticity, self-love, and transformation can flourish. She believes deeply in the healing power of creative expression and teaches that any outlet — writing, art, movement, prayer, or mindful pause — can reduce stress and restore well-being.

She is the author of Bliss Breaks, a practical guide for immediate well-being in the midst of life’s challenges, and Spirit Invertebrates: Sacred Messages from Earth’s Most Ancient Teachers, a mystical exploration of wisdom drawn from the smallest and most ancient life forms on Earth.

A Colorado native, Kristen lives in Denver with her husband, two children, and five beloved cats. A certified group facilitator with a certificate in Spiritual Studies from the Center for Spiritual Living, she has spent over a decade as a trained Spiritual Guide and private coach.

Kristen considers herself a “professional volunteer,” seeing service as both a spiritual practice and her greatest gift to the world. She honors all life and holds a steadfast belief that healing is unfolding — even when we cannot yet see it.
