Nourish, Move, Thrive: Meet Kristy Carmichael, the Heart Behind Kristrition

At Wander and Rest Life, we believe in compassionate, real-world wellbeing—and that’s exactly why we’ve partnered with the incredible Kristy Carmichael, the nutritionist and movement guide behind Kristrition.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by wellness culture, pressured by unrealistic food rules, or just too exhausted to “get it right,” Kristy’s approach will feel like a breath of fresh air. She’s the kind of practitioner who meets you where you are—with empathy, real talk, and a toolkit of science-backed strategies that actually make sense for your life.

But Kristy doesn’t just teach wellness. She lives it—with grace, balance, and a deep passion for helping others feel good in their own skin.
