Meet Our Founder
Meet Kristen Burke, Founder & CEO, equipped with a BS in Micro/Molecular Biology from Portland State University, an MBA from USC, and pursuing a Master's in Ayurvedic Integrative Medicine at Maharishi International University (June 2025).
Kristen blends scientific expertise with business innovation in healthcare. After a 25-year battle with Fibromyalgia and its accompanying chronic conditions, Kristen achieved full recovery in 2019. Her journey from a struggling patient to revolutionizing patient care sparked a vision: reimagine healthcare delivery by uniting traditional and alternative medicine. Despite having access to excellent providers during her recovery, she experienced the common struggles of chronic illness patients: scattered medical records, disconnected providers, endless symptom explanations, and the exhausting search for effective treatments across multiple specialists with conflicting approaches. This firsthand experience inspired Connect4Healing, a comprehensive telehealth platform addressing critical healthcare challenges:
