So happy you're here!

Stay
awhile

hey there!

Find your way

You found me because you're standing at an intersection in life, knowing you're meant for more but not quite sure what the next step looks like.

You're ready to let go of old stories, expectations, and versions of yourself that no longer fit who you're becoming.

As a coach, teacher, and guide, I'm here to help you find clarity, trust yourself, and move confidently toward the life you're here to create.

MEET ME

Hi, I'm KRISTIE

You didn't find me by accident, you were led here for a reason.

I'm Kristie Ione (pronounced eye-own) Barker (@kristie_ione), and I have been helping women transform their lives—and my own—for over a decade.

"Confidence has no competition" is my mantra (it's also the first tattoo I ever got).

To me, it means that when you are truly confident, you no longer need anything outside of yourself to validate whether you're winning in life.

For years, I found my confidence through fitness. It's why I became a fitness coach. In many ways, fitness is still how I feel confident, but my confidence is no longer grounded in 'how good I look'...it's anchored in how good I feel.

And that is what I want to teach you :).

A new way of being fit and fulfilled in life.

You are designed to feel good.
You are designed to have fun.
You are designed to be fit.

And you are designed to have it all...all at once!

That's how it's supposed to be ❤︎⁠.

My Life's Purpose

Teaching women
Confidence has always been My mission.

I Believe...

You are not here to prove your worth, suffer for success, or earn approval from others.

I believe your existence is proof of your worthiness, following your joy is the fastest path to success, & self-love dissolves all need for external validation.

You are already whole, it was the world who told you you were not.

Get to Know A Little About ME

9 quick things

I was born and raised in Idaho Falls, Idaho, but my little Idahoan heart always longed to be a Southern Cali girl. I have to pinch myself that I live here now! I've lived in San Diego since 2018.

If there's coffee, count me in! And if you can't find me? I'm probably watching an episode of Gilmore Girls.

Call me Lorelai

I was raised on Disney. I worked for Disney World. I go to Disney every year for my birthday. I believe in magic. I believe dreams come true.

Disney Obsessed.

Being a December baby, I was basically born believing in magic. I have an instinct for seeing possibility where others see problems & an intuition for seeing what others can't quite see in themselves yet—so becoming a coach was probably inevitable ;).

GSD Momma.

I was married in 2011 and divorced in 2018. During this heart breaking event, I wasn't looking for love, but I believed I was worthy of a partner who respected and treasured me. I met Erik a few months later and he completely restored my faith in fairytales ❤︎⁠. We have been together ever since (8+ years!).

True love after divorce.

From musical theatre, fitness modeling, bikini competing, and to YouTube (kristie vs. kitchen & kristie vs. life) I've always had a love of performing - not so much to be in the spotlight, but to bring inspiration and joy to others.

Center Stage.

This trifecta once felt heavy, but now I consider my super powers. ADHD supports my belief that everything is possible. Anxiety sharpens my discernment between what’s real or imagined. Hashimotos is my compass toward alignment – in order to avoid flare ups, anything that causes internal resistance (aka stress) has to go.
