Hi there! My name is Kristine and welcome to Wind and Wellness! I’m a pharmacist and a cruiser here to help you stay healthy and safe aboard any boat.
Since 2009 I’ve been practicing as a pharmacist at your local community pharmacy. Keeping my patients healthy has always been my top priority and connecting with them on a personal level is what I love most about my job. After 13 years, I’ve heard it all and have helped my patients work through all kinds of situations. In recent years, I’ve stepped back from full-time work in order to move aboard our sailboat with my husband and achieve some dreams of our own. We’ve been living, working, and traveling for the past 5 years and have met some of most wonderful people in the cruising community. We also added a new member to our crew in 2021, our baby boy, Maverick. I’m a mom, a pharmacist, and a fellow cruiser and I want to give back to the community that has already given me so much. So that leads us to this great space! My goal is to help you feel prepared for any medical needs that may arise while you are living the dream of travel on your boat. Leaving familiar shores can feel daunting and the thoughts of “what if something happens" are completely normal. It is impossible to predict the myriad of ways that can cause someone to fall ill or have an accident aboard but the most anyone can do is try their best to be prepared. Don’t be afraid to toss off those dock lines! Let’s walk together through your medicine cabinet, first aid kits, and bookshelves and talk about the things we can do to get ready to have some fun…because isn’t that what this lifestyle is all about anyway!
