Hi, I'm Kirsten!


I'm a psychic medium, Reiki practitioner, intuitive nutritionist, tarot reader, holistic health coach, plant-based chef, former cafe owner, writer, lover of life, organic farmer, and wanderlust junkie.

In other words, I'm super into merging spiritual and physical health to get the most out of our spiritual existence on this earthly plane.

I'm a native of the land of the misfit toys...and I'm not likely to ever be satisfied with "normal."

I thrive in community and I'm here to help others come to terms with grief and how it affects us spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Currently, I live with my fiancé and doghters, Luna (she's in the Spirit world but still palling around with me and is one of my dedicated Spirit guides) and Poppy (she's alive, spunky, and living up to her name) [alert: new boy added to the pack in April 2025, Otto]! We live in Pennsylvania on an acre of land, lovingly called Local Soul Farmstead.

I'm incredibly honored and grateful to be able to work with all of my clients!

My Love Affair with Food, the Journey, and Magic

When it comes to plant-based food, it’s all about kitchen wanderlust and wild witchery...hence the name for the love of the journey.

I haven’t always been a health food junkie. I grew up on TV dinners (remember when the Swanson TV dinners used to come in foil trays?) and Coca-Cola for hydration (no shame, just facts). But about 15 years ago, I started awakening to the magic of whole foods, nourishment, and intentional living. Since then, life’s been way more flavorful, meaningful, and really fucking fun.

As a plant-based chef, intuitive nutritionist, and Reiki practitioner, I blend food anthropology, herbal wisdom, and Soul guidance to teach others how to eat intuitively, live holistically, and make meals that are as magical as they are nutritious.

I channel Spirit through food, healing, and mentorship - offering readings, Reiki, and recipes that help you nourish the mind, body, and Soul.

Together, we’ll craft a vibrant, intuitive relationship with nourishment and self-care...one spell, one spoonful, one sacred bite at a time.

Meet Luna!


co-president of my Spirit team, personal cheerleader, and the cutest in ALL the ether

While on Earth, Luna ran things - never sacrificing a minute of precious nap time. The best assistant anyone could ask for, with the sweetest personality. Luna is a founding member and hasn't missed a single day of work since she blessed my life in 2015! She may no longer be with me physically, but she's 100% still with me - guiding, advising, and loving me. We're each other's North Star - a bond that even death can't break!

Meet Poppy!


captain of my pep squad, embodiment of unconditional love, and my goofiest pal

Poppy is guided by Luna and takes care of all the tasks that Luna did while she was on Earth. She makes sure I take breaks to play and keeps me laughing all day! She loves car rides, pup cups, giving the best hugs, and accompanying me almost everywhere I go!

Meet otto!


job title undetermined, sweet boy, escape artist

Otto was added to the pack to shake things up a bit and give Poppy a playmate! He loves to snuggle and give kisses! He already knows how to high 10 - and he's been known to escape by unlatching the screen door and waltzing right outside.
