Kristen Beach

Kristen Beach is a Family Nurse Practitioner who brings over 25 years of dedicated healthcare experience to her practice. Her journey began in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where she developed a deep passion for caring for the most vulnerable patients and empowering their families through education and support. Through her own personal experiences navigating the healthcare system, she became passionate about moving beyond traditional "sick care" medicine that focuses solely on treating symptoms, choosing instead to pursue an approach that addresses underlying causes of health issues.

In August 2021, God opened a door that led Kristen to Real Health Medical, where she discovered the life-changing principles of functional medicine. This holistic approach to healing ignited a passion that transformed her understanding of true healthcare—treating not just symptoms, but the whole person.
Today, Kristen's heart is devoted to serving pediatric patients in our Stockbridge office, through a root-cause approach that emphasizes natural healing methods. She believes deeply that every child is fearfully and wonderfully made, deserving gentle, effective care that partners with their body's God-given ability to heal. Her practice focuses on children's wellness, gut health, and natural restoration.

Understanding that her calling requires excellence in service, Kristen embraces lifelong learning as both a responsibility and a privilege. She is currently pursuing ongoing training in Applied Kinesiology and advanced studies in the gut microbiome while working toward certification in homeopathics. She maintains active membership in the Medical Association of Pediatric Special Needs, staying connected to the latest research and best practices in her field.
Kristen's educational foundation includes a Bachelor of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences with a major in Child and Family Development from the University of Georgia (1994), a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Georgia Baptist College of Nursing (1999), and a Master of Science in Nursing - Family Nurse Practitioner from Columbus State University (2024).

Beyond her professional calling, Kristen finds her greatest joy in her three amazing daughters and serves actively in her church youth ministries. She treasures time with family and friends, quiet moments with a good book, and sunny days outdoors. Kristen approaches every endeavor with warmth and genuine care, earning trust as an advocate for comprehensive, natural approaches that honor the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
