Meet Kristen Cipielewski
Kristen Cipielewski is a Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR Trained Therapist, certified Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapist, Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Mindfulness Coach, and experienced yoga teacher with more than 20 years of teaching experience. Drawing from her background as a therapist, international educator, and holistic wellness practitioner, she is passionate about helping women reconnect with their inner wisdom, resilience, and authentic selves.
Having lived and worked internationally for over 15 years, Kristen has trained extensively in yoga, mindfulness meditation, Ayurveda, Thai massage, and holistic healing practices. Her integrative approach blends evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques, with the restorative power of movement, breathwork, meditation, and body-based wellness practices.
Mind, Body & Spirit Empowerment
Kristen believes that true empowerment begins when women cultivate a deeper connection with themselves—mind, body, and spirit. Through yoga, mindfulness, therapeutic insight, and holistic healing, she creates supportive spaces where women can slow down, reconnect with their strengths, embrace self-compassion, and step confidently into the lives they envision for themselves. Her work is grounded in the belief that every woman’s journey is unique, and she is dedicated to helping women find balance, healing, and lasting transformation.
Upcoming Retreats
Wild Women Rising
April 15-19, 2027
Zel Punta Cana
by Nicole Chappelle & Kristen Cipielewski
Two women. Two distinct healing paths. One unshakeable belief – that yoga, movement, and deep inner work can heal and profoundly empower every woman who is ready to rise. Wild Women Rising was born from that shared vision: a four-day immersive retreat where restoration meets revolution, and where you are met exactly where you are and guided somewhere you’ve been longing to go. Set against the stunning shores of Bávaro Beach at ZEL Punta Cana by Meliá — where Caribbean warmth meets open-air elegance — the backdrop is as transformative as the work itself.
