“As someone who has drank for YEARS, tried every suggestion/method/avenue to stop besides checking myself into a rehab, I never thought that yoga would be the key to actually helping stop. I am an energy practitioner myself and no amount of meditation, self- Reiki, self reflection, “normal” yoga classes, you name it could pierce that “armor” of using alcohol to cope at night. Kierstin brought me back into my PHYSICAL body which is what I never knew I needed. She tailor made a routine just for me that I could practice in moments that would typically trigger that urge to drink. Not only that, she made me feel safe.”-Yoga Therapy Client Read more>>

I’ve had a number of patients that I will forever hold in my heart. I realized early in my career that what I do, the services I provide, the impact that can be made, are much bigger than me. I also learned from personal experience, being on the other side of healthcare, that leading with a human-first approach and compassion is often missing. I teach all my students to treat every patient like you would your own family member. That includes respect, modesty, and overall kindness. I realize that you can’t take every patient home with you, and yes you have to learn how to compartmentalize at times, but you never have to take the human out of your approach. Read more>>

My daughters delivery was difficult and resulted in a traumatic birth injury and cerebral palsy. After her birth I needed a career with more flexibility so I chose Massage school. As she grew up, my massage skills developed as well. She is non-verbal and our communication is unique.

There was an older woman so overcome by grief, that it prevented her from being able to function in her daily life. Three years had passed since losing her son, but her grief was so inconsolable, that mid way through grocery shopping, she would abandon her cart and return home with no food. Then one morning, she experienced an afterlife visit that changed her life. In the woman’s dream, she held the swaddled baby tightly to her chest. Although her son died as a grown man, she knew that he was the baby in her arms. Just as she became aware of the baby, she felt a hand rest gently upon her shoulder, as she heard a familiar voice say, “Put the baby down dear, he needs his rest.” Read more>>
