About Kirsten

My journey into the world of health and healing began at just 13 years old, when my baby sister was courageously battling cancer. Witnessing firsthand the powerful roles that both conventional and functional medicine played in her care left a deep and lasting impression on me. It was then that I developed a profound respect for the many ways different approaches to medicine can support and even save us on our healing journeys.

As I got older, I became increasingly passionate about holistic wellness and the importance of understanding the body as an interconnected system. But it wasn’t until my early 20s that this passion became deeply personal. What was supposed to be a routine procedure, wisdom tooth removal, took a tragic and unexpected turn. I found myself hospitalized nearly every week for over a year and prescribed antibiotics up to six times a day. My health rapidly declined. I couldn’t eat, I was in constant pain, and I developed multiple severe allergies. My gut was destroyed, and I truly wasn’t sure if I’d survive to tell my story.

Everything changed when I finally saw a holistic practitioner who addressed the root cause of what was happening. Within just three days of starting a tailored protocol, I began to feel like myself again.

That experience was more than just a health crisis, it was a spiritual awakening. It taught me that healing isn’t just physical; it’s emotional, energetic, and deeply personal. Becoming an Integrative Health Practitioner was a calling that came straight from that place of pain and transformation. Now, I get to hold space for others as they navigate their own healing journeys, helping them connect the dots, return to balance, and remember what it feels like to truly feel well. This path is sacred to me, and I’m endlessly grateful to walk it with others who are ready to heal, grow, and come home to themselves.
