About Kristen Humiston

Kristen Joy is a certified Mental Health & Biblical Life Coach passionately serving wounded pastors’ wives who have experienced personal or ministry-related traumas and/or battle chronic life stressors. As a pastor’s kid and pastor’s wife herself, Kristen experienced several acute traumatic experiences as well as church trauma. Through her healing journey, God has restored her joy and called her to use her experiences and trauma-informed education to serve others who are walking on a similar path. Learning to live from a place of rest, Kristen is enjoying working toward becoming a trauma therapist through her master’s program, connecting with God, and finding any quiet space she can in her busy household of 8.
