“Walk with integrity, speak your truth and live in joy ”
Dr. Kirstie
Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds.
Heal yourself with mint, neem, and eucalyptus. Sweeten with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile.
Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a hint of cinnamon. Put love in tea instead of sugar and drink it looking at the stars. Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain.
Stand strong with your bare feet on the ground and with everything that comes from it. Be smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier.
Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember...you are the medicine.

ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I am a Doctor of Integrative Medicine, Board Certified Structural Integrator and Structural Yoga Therapist. I have been practicing in the healing arts since 1996.
I am currently a student of Manual Osteopathy completing my Doctorate of Osteopathy in December of 2023. My thesis is on Trauma Informed Osteopathic Approach: The Art of Listening and is available in my blog. All my studies are complete and I am waiting to test out in December 2023.
EXPERIENCE
I consider myself a Somatic Medicine practitioner offering an environment to dialogue and access the Soma (Greek derivation is "body") and Rewyld ourselves through a process of integration of wholeness.
My area of expertise is in working with individuals with birth and childhood trauma, chronic pain, Fibromyalgia, scoliosis and pre/postpartum care for moms.
My lineage of training draws on Manual Osteopathy through my trainings and certifications in Structural Integration, Craniosacral, Visceral, Neural and Myofascial Release.
Please see Healing Philosophy and Structural Integration to deepen your understanding of my practice. I do not prescribe or support the use of drugs, pharmacology or vaccines as stated in the tenants of classic osteopathy. Nature is the cure and supporting the human body, mind and spirit in integration and natural movement to heal in the wholistic systems of the body--circulatory, nervous and fascial.
I practice Integrative Medicine under the CAM Laws of New Mexico for more information go to http://www.nmcaamp.org.
I identify as mixed race--Celtic, African and Indigenous. I discuss this in my blog post honoring my enslaved ancestors meeting the Kings.

CONTACT ME
To schedule an appointment please contact me below with your full name, email address, phone number and what type of support your are looking for so may I prioritize your request.
I currently have a waiting list for new clients. Typically I see folks for session work with a minimum of 3 sessions. Thus it takes a while to get in to see me so that I can take care of current clients. My current wait list is under one month. Sometimes I can get new clients in sooner but this not guaranteed. The work I do does require more than one session as it focuses on transformation and supporting the health in your system.
I see clients on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday only. Current clients may book on line at anytime.
If you prefer to not wait you can go to the New Mexico SI practitioner page and anyone listed under UNM-Taos SI Program was trained by me.
COST: First Session is $200 and Regular 75 minute Sessions are $165 which includes required New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax. Payments accepted in Cash, Check or Venmo.
24 Hour Cancellation Policy Does Apply
