We recently connected with Kristine Bautista and have shared our conversation below.
Kristine, we’ve been so fortunate to work with so many incredible folks and one common thread we have seen is that those who have built amazing lives for themselves are also often the folks who are most generous. Where do you think your generosity comes from?
My generosity stems from witnessing the way both my parents lived their lives and, in particular, my dad who was a humanitarian and philanthropist. Their examples of kindness and compassion have shaped my character, making generosity a significant part of who I am today.
My dad was the epitome of generosity. Growing up, my dad’s immense love for humankind has had a profound impact on shaping my values. As I witnessed his life and his way of being, I learned about altruism and what it means to be a loving, humble, and compassionate person. Witnessing his dedication to making a positive impact on the world left an indelible mark on my character. His selfless acts of giving, whether contributing to charitable causes or actively participating in humanitarian efforts, became powerful lessons that transcended mere words.
My dad’s generosity extended beyond financial contributions; it was a hands-on approach that involved kindness and genuine concern for others. I watched him tirelessly working towards creating positive change, whether it was supporting educational programs, providing aid to those in need, or championing health initiatives. His actions taught me that true generosity goes beyond writing a check; it involves a hands-on and personal commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.
The discussions at our dining table often revolved around the impact of his philanthropic endeavors, offering me insights into the complexities of social issues and the importance of collective responsibility. As a result, my dad’s example instilled in me a sense of social consciousness and a deep-rooted belief in the power of giving back.
Today, my own generosity is a reflection of the values he imparted to me – a legacy that continues to inspire me to contribute positively to the well-being of others.
My dad was an active member of an organization called the Lions Club. He took on leadership roles and he founded and chartered three clubs within the organization, which exist and still give back to the community to this day.
I learned from him how to live life with an open heart and how to live from a loving, selfless, compassionate, and generous place. He showed me what unconditional love is on a broader scale. The work he did will continue to live beyond him.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
As a multifaceted professional, I bring a unique blend of skills and expertise to the table. I have cultivated a unique tapestry of skills that seamlessly blend creativity, wellness, and entertainment. Over the past two decades, I have honed my skills as a Motion Picture and Television Hairstylist and have played an integral role in bringing characters to life through the transformative power of hairstyling. The most exciting aspect of my journey in the entertainment industry lies in the ability to contribute to the visual narrative, shaping characters and stories with my artistic touch.
Beyond the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, my professional journey ventures into the realms of holistic well-being. My roles as a Medical Intuitive and Energy Healer, an Integrative Functional Health Practitioner and an Herbalist showcase my commitment to addressing health on a multifaceted level. I view an individual as a combination of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs that are interdependent on each other and affect the entire well-being of the person. The thrill lies in bridging traditional and alternative approaches to offer a comprehensive and personalized path to wellness, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit.
As a Trauma-Sensitive HeartMath Practitioner, I bring mindfulness and compassion to my healing practice, acknowledging the profound impact of emotions on overall well-being. Simultaneously, my position as a Brain Health Coach underscores a dedication to optimizing cognitive function, contributing to mental wellness.
I believe that client and practitioner are equal partners in the healing process and treatment is tailored to the individual’s unique needs, condition and circumstances. Natural and less invasive interventions are preferred, but traditional treatments are still implemented when natural options have been exhausted.
Adding a touch of excitement and physical prowess, I embrace the vibrant world of Circus Arts, introducing an entirely different dimension to my story. Beyond the dazzling displays of acrobatics and artistry, I advocate for the profound impact of movement as a powerful form of healing, therapy, and physical fitness. Through my performances, I aim to communicate the transformative potential that lies within the fluidity of motion. Movement becomes the language of expression, transcending mere physical exercise to serve as a cathartic release for the mind and a therapeutic balm for the soul. Whether soaring through the air on aerial silks or executing intricate choreography, I invite audiences to witness the therapeutic nature of movement and encourage people to explore the joyful synergy of mind and body through the artful dance of physical expression.
In essence, my story unfolds as a captivating blend of creativity, healing, and entertainment, where each role adds a unique layer to the narrative, making for a truly extraordinary and inspiring career path.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
In my journey, several key qualities, skills, and areas of knowledge have undoubtedly played pivotal roles. Firstly, the power of one’s intuition is a powerful compass in aligning an individual with their highest path and connecting one to their higher choices. The magic of synchronicity enters one’s life when you learn to trust your inner wisdom.
Becoming familiar with the language of my intuition is key in my role as a healer. The capacity to sense and interpret subtle energies, coupled with a deep understanding of the body’s signals, empowers me to provide personalized and profound healing experiences for my clients. My highly developed intuition allows me to uncover underlying health issues, guiding my holistic approach to wellness.
How do you know if it is your intuition? By having self-awareness and cultivating an intimate relationship with oneself. It is a key quality an individual should cultivate. Understanding oneself, including strengths, weaknesses, values, and motivations, lays the foundation for personal growth and meaningful decision-making. It fosters a deeper connection with one’s authentic self, enabling the alignment of actions with one’s higher self. In turn, it brings a sense of purpose and meaning in one’s life, and thus, more joy, vitality and satisfaction.
The journey of self-discovery and wellness is not always an easy road. Therefore, it is so important to remember to have Compassion for oneself. Compassion for where we are at on our journey and for our struggles. I am forever grateful for my teachers, mentors and peers who remind me to have compassion on myself and give me the encouragement to not give up.
In stillness, the symphony of life unfolds. The quieter you become, the more you can hear the melodies of your own existence and the universe’s profound wisdom.
