• About Me

    Hi, I’m Krista.
    The wife of a very talented musician who takes me around the world in pursuit of excellence.
    Mama to Jakob, Audrey and Ella, who just happens to have Down Syndrome
    and an aspiring disciple of Jesus, defender of the oppressed, photographer and domestic diva.
    I write and speak on navigating through the fog of life - you know, when things don’t go exactly as planned and am fuelled by a passion to be a voice for those who have trouble speaking for themselves…oh, and coffee…lots of coffee.
