Hi, I’m Cristi Kaido.

I'm a wellness coach, author, and founder of The Mindful Mixer®. My mission is simple: to help people slow down, reconnect, and discover that wellness isn't about doing more, it's about creating space for what matters most.


The Heart Behind

The Mindful Mixer®

For years, I believed wellness meant checking every box. I exercised. I ate well. I built a career helping others.

Yet underneath it all, I felt disconnected.

Then, in 2020, a near-fatal blood clot near my heart changed everything. It reminded me that wellness isn't just about how we care for our bodies, it's about how fully we experience our lives.

That experience became the foundation of The Mindful Mixer®: creating intentional moments that help people slow down, reconnect, and truly be present.

What I Believe

We don't need another reminder to take care of ourselves.

We need permission to slow down long enough to actually do it.

I believe wellness begins the moment we stop rushing through life and start paying attention to it.

Small rituals have the power to transform how we live, work, lead, and connect. That’s not because they change who we are, but because they help us come home to ourselves.

That's the heart behind every Mindful Mixer experience.
