Running Toward the Fire: The Many Lives of Kristianne Schultz

Send us a text

What kind of person runs toward the fire — not away? Kristianne Schultz has lived many lifetimes in one: firefighter, EMT, surgical tech, acupuncturist, healer. But behind every role is one relentless search — for healing, for wholeness, for a self-reclaimed from childhood pain and trauma.

In this episode, Kristianne opens up about surviving Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, learning to control pain through mind-body practices, and forging a life of fierce compassion. She shares what crisis has taught her about presence, what illness has taught her about love, and why healing always begins within.

This is a conversation about the raw honesty of living fully, the courage to face what breaks us, and the quiet power of someone who refuses to play it safe. Kristianne doesn’t just mend bodies- she helps people reclaim a sense of wholeness.
