Your local growth partner has been exactly where you are.
Christa Bauer is a business strategist, marketing expert, and the founder of The Nurture Engineer. With a passion for helping entrepreneurs navigate digital marketing complexities, she provides tailored strategies that help businesses grow with confidence.
But here’s what makes Christa different—she’s been exactly where you are.
Before helping other business owners grow, she was one herself, starting a microgreens business from scratch right here in Southwest Missouri. Those late nights figuring out marketing, the tight budgets, the “will this actually work?” moments—she lived it all.
After successfully growing and selling that business, she discovered her true calling: helping other local entrepreneurs navigate the same challenges without the costly trial-and-error she experienced.
From engineer to educator to entrepreneur—now your growth partner.
Christa’s diverse background—from chemical engineer to school principal to local business owner—informs her unique ability to identify what business owners truly need.
Marketing that builds on what you already have.
She believes in building businesses with purpose—where marketing builds on the strong foundation you already have, expanding your reach and boosting revenue while nurturing the loyal relationships that sustain long-term growth.
The same intentional care in everything.
Beyond her work in marketing, Christa is deeply committed to service. She volunteers with Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a Montessori-based religious formation program, where she helps guide young children in their faith.
Just as she nurtures young minds with care and intentionality, she approaches her business clients with the same dedication—helping them cultivate brands that truly reflect their mission and values.
“… you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light” — Ephesians 5:8
“… put on the armor of light” — Romans 13:12
