Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristina King Carroll
Hi Kristina, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Hi I’m Kristina! Born and raised in Orange County, CA, and relocated to Dallas, Texas in 2017. With a dedication to skincare, I’ve been practicing as an esthetician since 2007, accumulating numerous years of experience in the beauty industry. My guiding principle is: “What you put ON your skin is just as important as what you put IN your body.” However, this perspective wasn’t always innate to me.
In 2014, following a year of debilitating illness, I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and various autoimmune conditions. It wasn’t until encountering my first integrative/holistic practitioner—a true angel—that my perspective shifted. At the time, I served as the Senior Manager at Urban Decay Cosmetics/L’Oreal, relishing in my career and lifestyle, oblivious to the toll it took on my health amidst late nights, fashion weeks, and weekly travels.
Consequently, I made the decision to take a year-long hiatus to prioritize my well-being. The insights gained during that healing period are invaluable, prompting significant changes in my diet, household products, skincare regimen, and nearly every aspect of my life. Along this journey, I’ve had the privilege of meeting remarkable individuals and doctors, firmly believing that my trials were a pivotal part of my life’s trajectory, ultimately leading me to Texas.
My overarching goal is to aid others—not only in enhancing their skin but in improving their overall well-being. I aspire to empower individuals to become the healthiest and happiest versions of themselves, while including a bit of relaxation and pampering along the way.
Presently, my life revolves around embracing an organic lifestyle and delving into holistic practices, all while caring for my spirited two-year-old, Valen, and my sweet, bright five-year-old son, Jay. Motherhood undoubtedly presents its challenges, yet I cherish every moment, feeling immensely grateful for the privilege of being their mama.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Not at all! Moving here in 2017 and knowing absolutely no one was not only lonely but hard. I worked for about a year as a mobile company which was really hard (as word of mouth). When I had my first son I took a year off and started back when he was about 16 months old. I was introduced by my wonderful friend to Nicole Jackson – who is the owner and lead chiropractor at Grounded Wellness. We hit it off and she gave me a shot at setting up a spa in her office. I spent about 2 years growing my business strictly by her (and her sharing her clients) and word of mouth. There was some really slow months but 4 years later and I can’t imagine being anywhere else! The vibe at Grounded is untouchable and every person that walks through that door just radiates love. Nicole strives for love in that office. I’m lucky to work out of there and I’m so privileged to serve my clients.
Now I have two girls under me and they are amazing! Watching Virtue grow has been such a joy.
