"I’m most empowered when I’m surrounded and supported by my village".
My Story
A lifelong caregiver and advocate, Kristina wears many hats, licensed pediatric speech-language pathologist, certified lactation counselor, multi-award-winning entrepreneur, and founder of not one, but two thriving businesses. At the heart of it all is her deep commitment to care: for children, for families, and for fellow healthcare professionals forging their own path.
Kristina launched Madden Therapy Solutions in 2017 as a one-woman practice. She had no formal business background, just clinical expertise, compassion, and a fierce work ethic. But what began as a solo venture quickly grew into one of Tampa Bay’s leading pediatric therapy practices, offering holistic care through speech-language, feeding, and occupational therapy, as well as lactation and pediatric sleep consulting. In 2023, she expanded her impact again, founding Madden Healthcare Consulting to help other practitioners grow and scale successful practices of their own. Her proudest achievement? Building something bigger than she ever imagined, and never compromising on care or integrity along the way.
What makes her the happiest?
Quiet nights at home with her husband George and their dogs. Loud, belly-aching laughter with close friends. Time with her nieces, nephews, and siblings. In a year marked
by deep personal loss, her family, both biological and chosen, has been her greatest source of strength and joy.
What advice would she give her younger self?
Be kind to yourself. Tell your people you love them, and don’t be afraid to walk away from anything that no longer serves you. You don’t have to carry everything on your own, God’s got it.
