Kristen Mia Tenpenny was a vibrant, free-spirited soul whose life was dedicated to helping others heal and find inner peace. She was a certified yoga instructor, Reiki master, sound therapist, and meditation guide who used her gifts to uplift those around her. Kristen had a deep connection to nature, spirituality, and the healing arts, always seeking ways to bring comfort and love to those in need.

She lived fearlessly and authentically, embracing every adventure with curiosity, passion, and kindness. From cross-country road trips to global explorations, Kristen found joy in new experiences, cultures, and connections. Her heart was open to the world, and she made every person she encountered feel seen, valued, valued, and loved.

On April 2, 2019, Kristen’s journey on this earth came to an end, but her legacy continues to shine brightly. Her life’s motto, “Love Surrounds You,” reflected her belief that love is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. That message, which she signed on everything she wrote, now serves as the guiding purpose behind everything we do.

Love Surrounds You® was created in her honor, to make sure no one feels alone in their struggles. Through Ride Out of the Darkness®, scholarships, community resources, and mental health advocacy, we continue Kristen’s mission of spreading hope, healing, and love.

Kristen’s story is a reminder that mental health is not just a personal battle. It is a community effort. And through Love Surrounds You®, we will keep showing up, speaking up, and fighting for those who need a voice, a resource, and a place to heal.

💜 In memory of Kristen, and for everyone who needs to hear it… Love Surrounds You®.
