Our mission is to empower people to make positive diet and lifestyle changes. We strive to meet each client's individual needs to ensure lasting lifestyle change and success.
Our wellness programs are designed to cleanse, restore, balance, and maintain health and vitality. We provide you with a roadmap to wellness, which becomes a lifestyle. We tailor programs and services to meet your specific, individual needs. We do not embrace a "one size fits all" philosophy. We give you the information and tools to succeed, and offer ongoing support for lasting success.
We have found that a positive attitude and a willingness to try new things are essential to make lasting lifestyle change. Our wellness practice is compassionate, non-judgmental, respectful, supportive and fun.

Kristen graduated in 1995 with a BS in Nutrition from Penn State University.

As an expert in the field of raw and vegan nutrition, Kristen has helped her clients strike the nutritional balance that works best for them. As a lifelong athlete, Kristen developed an interest in health and nutrition at an early age. Kristen's interest in nutrition also stemmed from her own struggles with severe digestive problems and peptic ulcers for most of her life. Kristen is constantly researching and learning about natural health and wellness. Kristen is currently pursuing advanced studies in nutrition.
Kristen studied colon hydrotherapy at the Dotolo Institute in 1999 under Brenda Watson (founder of Renew Life). In 1999 Kristen began working at the Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute where she taught courses on nutrition, digestion and colon health. Over the years, Kristen has developed a unique approach to colon hydrotherapy which incorporates abdominal massage, Reiki, and reflexology.
Anna Forkan, BSE Engineering, Certified Nutritional Microscopist, Certified Raw & Living Foods Lifestyle Educator
Anna graduated in 2003 with a BSE in Engineering from the University of Iowa. While attending the U of I, she became interested in global environmental issues and founded the group Engineers for a Sustainable World. Her main focus with ESW was drinking water issues plaguing Latin American communities, mainly Mexico and Guatemala. Anna also worked with Department of Natural Resources in the Pollution Prevention department to help companies reduce their ecological footprint. While living in Iowa, Anna enjoyed organic farming and volunteered her time at a farm in Iowa where a French chef prepared dinners from the bounty of her gardens. The experience instilled a deep appreciation of the earth and the power of eating real food.
In 2006, Anna began working as the Operations Manager of the Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute. While working there, Anna began to study nutritional microscopy to provide visual feedback on our inner terrain. Anna offers nutritional microscopy and wellness coaching to clients at Revitalive.
Ted is happily employed as the greeter and mascot of Revitalive. Upon entering the center, Ted may demand an ear scratching and possibly a game of catch. Ted is another testimonial to the raw food diet. Ted, being a true omnivore, does eat raw meat and veggies. He gets all his food from The Natural Dog (a super cool holistic pet store). He has been eating a raw diet for almost 4 years.
