Hands On Osteopathy

Many of my clients ask Dr. Kirstie what it is it she does? The umbrella philosophy is osteopathy. Dr. Kirstis is a hands on osteopath, a.k.a. 10 finger osteopath, that has been practicing since 1996 in hands-on modalities. They are a generalist with several sub-specialties listed below. Many of their clients have chronic conditions with a trauma history, thus there practice is tailored to support these clients with a wide range of symptoms. She sees clients from infancy to the end of life. Their approach is integrative, holistic with compassionate care. See following section for more details.

ABOUT

ABOUT ME

I am Dr. Kirstie, a Doctor of Integrative Medicine and Osteopathy (Manual), Board Certified Structural Integrator, and Structural Yoga Therapist. I have been practicing in the healing arts for over 30 years, beginning my journey in 1996.

In January 2024, I completed my Doctorate in Osteopathy after a decade of study with skilled osteopaths. My doctoral thesis, Trauma-Informed Osteopathic Approach: The Art of Listening, is available on my blog for those interested in exploring my research and perspective more deeply.

EXPERIENCE

I consider myself a practitioner of Somatic Medicine, creating a safe space to dialogue with and access the soma (Greek for “body”). Through this process, we can “Rewyld” ourselves—returning to wholeness through integration of body, mind, and spirit.

My expertise lies in working with:

  • Birth and childhood trauma

  • Chronic pain

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Scoliosis

  • Pre- and postpartum care for mothers

  • Individuals with neurocomplex traits and diverse cognitive abilities

My training lineage includes Manual Osteopathy along with Structural Integration, Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Neural Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Somatic Movement. With more than 7,000 hours of continuing education and 30,000+ hours of teaching bodywork and movement in university settings, I bring both breadth and depth of experience to my practice.

I do not prescribe or promote the use of drugs, pharmacology, or vaccines, in keeping with the tenets of classic osteopathy. Instead, I believe that nature is the cure. By supporting the body’s innate wisdom across its circulatory, nervous, and fascial systems, we create the conditions for natural integration and healing.

I currently practice Integrative Medicine under the CAM laws of New Mexico. You can learn more about these regulations at nmcaamp.org.

I also identify as a neurocomplex, mixed-race person of Celtic, African, and Indigenous heritage, which informs my perspective and approach to healing.
