When doctors were not able to help Tory Kratz find the root cause of a life-altering ailment, she began searching for alternative options for healing. What she found not only helped her find a path to wellness, but also helped her husband Mike discover a healthier lifestyle and mindset as well. 

“Watching Tory go through her ordeal just really opened my eyes to the alternative care that is out there,” said Mike Kratz.  “We began to realize that a healthy lifestyle is more than what you do, and includes everything you put into and onto your body and skin, so I just followed suit with her.”

The couple quit their high-stress corporate training jobs together and launched their own wellness company, Complete Holistic Coaching and Wellness in November of 2022. Today the Kratz offer their services in Miramar Beach. Destin City Lifestyle caught up with them to find out just what they offer.

DCL: What do you offer at Complete Holistic Coaching and Wellness?

Kratz: We offer powerful methods to healing, forward movement, improvement to self, mind, body, and financial independence through Holistic Coaching, Holobody Coaching, Active Meditation, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT®), and Free Financial Education and Services. All powerful methods in reaching goals. 

DCL: How did you both discover holistic training and what caused you to open your business on the Emerald Coast?

Kratz: When we found that our corporate training positions were being downsized, we realized that we didn’t take care of ourselves physically or mentally while under their employment. We were doing some research and found Mindvalley. This is where we really embraced meditation and hypnotherapy. The opportunity presented itself to become certified in those areas in addition to holistic coaching and Holobody coaching. We knew this was our opportunity to provide something different that was a natural, holistic approach.

Tory has lived on the Emerald Coast, on and off since 1989, growing up in the military and Mike has lived on the Emerald Coast on and off since 2001 after separating from the Army.

We live in Miramar Beach and have for the last 8 years and thought this would be a perfect opportunity to provide it to our neighbors and community. 

DCL: What is Holobody Coaching?

Kratz: Is an immersive coaching experience designed to empower you to unlock your full potential and cultivate a balanced mind-body connection for lifelong well-being through a permanent and positive change for your transformation. Through body awareness and education we provide a natural, holistic approach for changes in your life between you and your body.

DCL: What is Rapid Transformational Therapy and who can it benefit?

Kratz: Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT®) assists our clients in overcoming deep-rooted negative beliefs, habits, emotions, and behavioral patterns that hold them back from living their best lives.

RTT® is a groundbreaking approach that combines the most effective principles of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, NLP, CBT, and neuroscience. Through the use of hypnosis, we can access the subconscious mind and address the core beliefs that drive unwanted thoughts and actions, even those deeply rooted in the psyche.

DCL: Is Holistic Coaching more like going to a therapist or life coach? 

Kratz: Holistic coaching is a comprehensive approach to personal development that addresses the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. We work with clients to create balance and harmony across all areas of their lives, including physical health, emotional well-being, career, relationships, and spirituality. We create customized plans tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.

This approach contrasts with traditional talk therapy, which primarily focuses on mental health and emotional issues through discussion and psychological techniques. Holistic coaching aims to equip clients with the tools needed to thrive independently, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-efficacy.

DCL: How have you benefited from the services you provide in your own lifestyle?

Kratz: We were clients before becoming certified. We were just coming out of a very toxic corporate training position and realized we were not taking care of ourselves in many aspects. Due to the clarity, purpose, and redirection we found during the process, we knew that we needed to provide these services to others. The opportunity presented itself to become certified in the areas of our services and we are excited to be able to provide the same to our clients.
