#1
The Step-By-Step System
Imagine yourself on one side of a river. All your goals are on the other side. You need a way to get across that river. You need to build a boat, but not just any boat.

You don’t need to sift through all the confusing health information out there. I give you the exact steps to overcome emotional eating, heal body shame, and steward your body consistently!
#2
Overcoming Self-Sabotage
This is going to blow your mind, but information is actually the LEAST important part of reaching your goals. Although you absolutely need to right information, it’s useless if you don’t know how to apply it to your life in a consistent and sustainable way. In fact, most people KNOW what to do, they just don’t do it. This is what makes my coaching different. I don’t just give you expert information, I help you bust through self-sabotage so you can create LIFELONG behavior change. This is where healthy becomes a HABIT!
#3
Be Transformed!
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2 Your body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit which you are called to steward. Which is why go deep!. We find the root cause of your body shame and emotional eating, we break through strongholds, and we create real heart change in order to steward your body as a temple! Say goodbye to surface level fixes and say hello to transformation

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect." – Romans 12:2
Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, which you are called to steward. However, the world is full of distractions and temptations that make true stewardship feel impossible. We must find the root causes of body shame and emotional eating, break through strongholds, and create real heart change in order to steward your body as a temple.
Say goodbye to surface-level fixes, and say hello to true transformation!
I don’t know your story yet, but I’ll bet you’ve felt pain, heartbreak, shame, or grief. Maybe you’ve been turning to the world, in some capacity, to fill that brokenness. Maybe you think that if you can accomplish enough, do enough, work enough, dress pretty enough, or look fit enough, then you won’t feel that brokenness.
Jesus wants to heal that brokenness so you can be the woman He has called you to be. Your deepest purpose in life isn’t to build a fancy resume of accomplishments—it is to love and be loved. Not by the world, but by your Father in Heaven.
Saint Pope John Paul II reminds us, "It is she who receives love in order to love in return. The dignity of women is measured by the order of love."
So, when this order becomes disordered, through emotional wounds left unhealed in your heart, you will feel lonely, ashamed, and burnt out. It also affects your physical, mental, and spiritual health. You might turn to food for comfort, quick-fix diets, or social media standards...but these are only temporary masks.
I can relate. I learned to grit my teeth and white-knuckle my way through life, telling myself I was “okay” when I wasn’t. I know I’m not alone.
If this resonates, keep scrolling. There’s a way to heal the heart beneath the habits, the shame, and the striving, and finally step into freedom.
Does This Sound Like You?
You’ve tried every diet to overcome emotional eating and feel confident in your body, yet nothing has worked. You long for freedom from food obsession and body shame, but don’t know where to begin.
You want peace around food—without giving up the foods you love—and the ability to enjoy holidays, vacations, and everyday life without being sabotaged by food or body thoughts.
You’re ready to ditch dieting, uncover the root cause of your food and body struggles, and finally find true temperance—the God-centered balance that brings freedom, not restriction.
You're a burnt-out perfectionist who feels trapped in dysfunctional cycles that keep you from fully stewarding your mind, body, and spirit. Perhaps you even feel distant from God's constant presence, struggling to fully embody the truth about your worth, beauty, and unique femininity.
You know your body is a gift, but you struggle to treat it as one. You're ready to breakdown strongholds that keep you stuck in painful patterns. You deeply love Jesus, yet know your heart still clings to worldly standards for health, beauty, and success. You want to be fully surrendered to the Lord, but struggle to give up control.
You’re tired of worrying about your health and ready to steward the body God gave you—without diet rules or confusion. You want to understand the divine wisdom God gave you, and how to intuitively create a healthy relationship with food and your body through the Holy Spirit.
You long to find consistency and sustainability in your health while feeling peace in your body image. You want healthy to be a habit, nourishing your body from a place of love rather than shame, so you can wake up feeling good, confident, and clear on how to care for your temple.
You desire to walk in your true identity in Christ, but shame, self-criticism, and fear of judgment keep you stuck. You’re exhausted from trying harder, only to end up in the same place.
You want to steward your temple in order to fulfill your vocation and make a difference in your family and community.
You want greater mental space for the people you love while enjoying the present moment, yet your mind often spirals as you compare yourself to other women, avoid mirrors or photos, feel self-conscious around others, battle constant food thoughts, and feel lost about how to steward your body.
You want to seem okay—you want to manage everyone’s expectations and perceptions of you, even though you’re crumbling on the inside.
You’re afraid of feeling those painful emotions...you’d rather numb them out.
You have a strong inner critic.
You’re operating on constant autopilot—hopping from one task to the next, always feeling behind, never feeling like there’s enough time, and rarely sitting in the present moment with the Lord.
You know what to do; you just can’t get yourself to do it. It’s in your head, but you’re struggling to get it into your heart and out into your actions.
IF YES, THEN I CAN HELP YOU!
You’ve been lied to when it comes to your health. God created your body with wisdom that goes far beyond what any influencer or wellness guru can sell you. I help you learn to steward your body through this divine wisdom. You will overcome emotional eating, uncontrollable cravings, body shame, and unhealthy habits by learning to actively listen to your body, accurately interpret its messages, and compassionately respond. In each session, you receive personalized coaching and simple, crystal-clear weekly action steps (so you know exactly how to put information into action).
I'm Kirsten Schmidt
I remember sitting in a middle school girls’ bathroom stall, turning my fingers into make-believe scissors and pretending to cut fat off my body. I told myself, “If I could just lose this much fat, then I would feel happy and beautiful.” That belief shaped the next decade of my life.
Because of my unhealed emotional wounds, I placed all my worth in my appearance and in what I could accomplish, rather than rooting my worth and identity in Christ.
This led to years of yo-yo dieting, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, overwhelm, emotional eating, binge eating, burnout, body shame, low self-esteem, and so much more. Even my relationship with God and others suffered.
I thought perfect health and body were the answers, so I tried every diet in the book to gain perfect control. Nothing worked long-term. My mental, physical, and spiritual health declined, and I hit a breaking point. I was so exhausted from chasing the world’s standards, just to end up feeling worthless, anxious, mentally drained, physically unwell, and spiritually disconnected.
When I was at my lowest, God met me. I finally learned what it meant to steward my body as a Temple of the Holy Spirit.
I earned my degrees in Kinesiology and Human Nutrition, received an accredited health coaching certification, and began studying self-sabotage and how it relates to biblical truth and spiritual warfare.
I overcame binge and emotional eating, body shame, burnout, and chronic anxiety—all without going on another diet. (Though I still joke that I’m a perfectionist in recovery.) Now, I help Christian women experience the same transformation through true, biblical healing and surrender.
So, if you’ve ever felt like you know what to do but can’t get yourself to do it consistently or sustainably, that’s my area of expertise.
Whether you’re struggling with perfectionism, burnout, emotional wounds, nourishment, or building healthy habits—I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it feels like.
I believe God has called me to help foster an environment of deep healing for His daughters, so that they may embrace what Saint John Paul II calls The Feminine Genius, and offer their unique gifts to their families and the Church!
You will never shame your way to spiritual, mental, or physical health. You can only love your way there with God leading the way!

What Some Of My Amazing Clients Have To Say
I have not had a binge eating episode since I started Integrow. I’m able to spend more time with my family and enjoy my everyday life without the guilt of how I ate or exercised that day. I can look into a mirror and walk away without body shaming. My period actually occurs every month on time! I can eat out with friends and family without the pressure of what I ate or how much I ate. I’m not constantly talking about my body, what I ate, and how much I’ve exercised. I’ve had way more conversations about what God is doing in my life and sharing what he is speaking to me. I’ve become more humble and vulnerable with my friends and that has made our friendships stronger. My husband told me this week…”you are different and I can’t figure out what it is but something has changed.” I told him, “I’ve officially let go!” I feel as though a huge weight has been lifted off of me.

"I no longer look at food with a negative attitude or constantly count calories. With this new outlook I don’t deny myself food, binge later on and then feel guilty afterwards. I actually enjoy eating and give myself grace on special occasions to appreciate my favorite foods. The life skills portion was a pleasant surprise. I didn’t realize how my mental health and daily sleep/routines affected my eating habits. Putting wellness practices in place has made me feel more in control of my life and created a positive outlook for me that has renewed my spirit. I enjoyed our weekly sessions and getting your positive feedback. You never judged me and provided such thoughtful responses. It was great working with you!!"
Celeste G
I thought the investment was just going to fix my food problems, but it opened up so much more. To make changes and not know the future is scary, but I had to be honest with myself. At the time I didn't like myself, yet I knew I could do better, I could be better, but I just didn't know how. I was at my rock bottom and I knew something needed to change. Now, I feel more at peace. I feel happier. I understand why I may have a craving, what needs are going unmet, and how I need to communicate and meet those needs. All I can say is just GO FOR IT! Because there is nothing but going up from here...where you are at your lowest of lows and you've done EVERYTHING and every diet, yet it's not getting you anywhere. Diets were just a temporary solution. The real solution was the inner work that needed to be done. That is much more satisfying that dropping 1 or 2 pants sizes, then going right back to where you were"
Danelle H
My overall experience was more than I ever expected. My husband told me multiple times that this was the best money I had ever spent on myself. After a few weeks of exercises that pushed me outside of my comfort zones, I started to notice my mentality shift towards a viewpoint of grace for myself. I started to understand that my worth does not come from a number on a scale or how people view me. Instead, my worth comes from a God who made me in His image, and how could I shame something that God had created? The changes did not happen overnight or without being vulnerable and honest, which I think are key to gaining the most from this program. While I still have tough days, my spirit feels lighter and more full of joy most days. I am able to be more present with my kids and I am more aware of the beliefs and behaviors I want my kids to witness. I am so thankful to have crossed paths with you and will truly never forget the role you played in my life.
