Hey, I’m Kristin—most folks online know me as Draven or Drav.
I’m a variety streamer, horror enthusiast, achievement hunter, writer, caregiver, and lifelong curiosity chaser. Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTS, Complex PTSD, and AuDHD, I’ve come to see resilience as everyday magic, and community as a powerful tool for navigating life’s challenges.
My journey into the paranormal started with personal experience and a fascination for the unexplained. Alongside my partner (and soulmate, met on Twitch), I explore haunted places, dig up forgotten histories, and share what I find through stories, research, and personal reflections.
Spiritually, I follow an eclectic, agnostic, and nature-based path. I don’t work with or worship deities—instead, I’m drawn to folklore, symbolism, ritual, and the ways people find meaning in the natural world. My background in aromatherapy, herbalism, crystal healing, and energy work shapes the ritual tools and creations I make, with a focus on intention and mindful practice.
I’m also actively deconstructing the rigid evangelical upbringing I came from—unlearning fear and shame, and reclaiming spiritual autonomy. Threads of spiritual reclamation, religious deconstruction, and exvangelical truth-telling run through much of what I share here.
🤍 Caregiving: I work primarily with older adults, providing hands-on support for those living with dementia, Parkinson’s, and other age-related challenges. This work deeply informs my views on aging, vulnerability, and care.
🌿 Aromatherapy & Botanicals: I’m a certified aromatherapist and botanical formulator with experience working with essential oils, plant-based ingredients, and animal wellness.
🔮 Spiritual & Holistic Practices: My spiritual practice blends crystal healing, ritual, and energy work as tools for self-reflection and intention—not substitutes for medical care.
✍️ Writing & Blogging: Professionally, I write and blog about caregiving, childhood, aging, spirituality, folklore, history, books, and the paranormal. Writing is how I process, question, and share the world.
Whether I’m streaming survival horror, writing about the things that haunt us, crafting ritual tools, caring for others, or following a strange rabbit hole, I try to lead with heart, humor, curiosity, and a touch of witchy grit.
If haunted places, strange histories, or spiritual exploration call to you, I hope you’ll stick around, say hello, and join the journey.
