My Story
Krista is a Wellness Engineer and founder of JaeRae Wellness, LLC, where she mindfully engineers personal wellness through coaching, yoga, meditation, and Reiki.
After a decade of healing from past traumas and physical injuries, Krista became a certified wellness coach, 200-hr registered yoga teacher, and attuned Usui Reiki practitioner, all while working as an engineer in corporate manufacturing.
​
Krista first taught beginners' yoga and meditation for her colleagues and community in conference rooms and gyms in 2017. In 2019, Krista left her corporate job and founded JaeRae Wellness to teach and offer healing relief full-time. She continued teaching for her former employer and extended her class offerings into local yoga studios, libraries, and even vineyards. Later that year, she earned a Yoga Trapeze teacher certification to share the healing relief of spinal traction with her private clients and classes.
​
​
During the pandemic of 2020, Krista moved her business online to teach virtual yoga and prioritize private coaching clients, while she moved around the country in an RV with her daughter for nearly 2 years. From the road, she taught gentle yoga flows on Zoom from campgrounds and beaches, and mastered verbally guiding her private clients from the screen.
In 2022, Krista published her first book and memoir, The Daisy Diaries,
and has since co-authored:
The Ancestors Within: Celebrate and Honor Your Sacred Origins,
Letters to the Sisterhood: Heartfelt Advice for Nurturing Mental, Physical, & Spiritual Wellness, and
Opening the Channel to Write Your Story,
and now also coaches aspiring authors through sharing their stories.
​
With a desire to further expand her healing knowledge and offerings, Krista trained and received Reiki Master attunement and sound healing certifications in 2023. That year, she planted roots in southeast Montana and connected with Studio Soul in Billings, where she still loves leading students into deep relaxation through slow flows, restorative yoga, yoga nidra, and sound baths.
​
​
In early 2025, Krista combined all of her diverse skills, experience, and love of travel and planning, into her first international yoga retreat in Mexico, before co-creating Earth Soul Revival Retreats.
Today, Krista continues guiding clients and students through card readings, coaching, yoga, breath and energy work from her healing room at Studio Soul in Billings, MT, and continues writing, speaking, and hosting wellness events on her life-long mission to help others discover unconditional self-love, inner peace, and personal empowerment.
When she's not on her mat (or hanging in her Yoga Trapeze), Krista loves traveling, exploring the great outdoors, spending quality time with her family and two dogs, and making her favorite homemade “self-care goodies” of crystal jewelry, essential oil rollers, body butter, and candles.
