Holistic and Embodied Care for Womb Cycle Vitality and Hormonal Resilience, Fertility through Postpartum
Hi there, I’m Kristin. Welcome and thanks for reading.
I am a Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist, somatic sex educator and birth witness. I’m also the founder of Womb Medicine, a transformative online platform and community for womb and sexual health education. I am a woman and mother of three.
I am devoted to helping women and mothers awaken to their inner healing potential, embodied wisdom and true power to inspire radical personal and cultural evolution. I have many roles, as we all do, yet ultimately I am a woman and mother walking the Earth during these perilous times with a fire in my belly and a deep well of hope for the future.
Through embodied education and sovereign womb-centric health care, I hope to deconstruct cultural narratives that are hurting women and families (and all of us). I am not interested in maintaining the status quo or participating in health care narratives that tell women they are broken, infertile, or otherwise not enough.

I want to help you become your own authority when it comes to your health and vitality on all levels — physical, emotional, spiritual, relational and sexual. All my offerings center around being in service to your agency, nourishment and healing.
My approach weaves East Asian Medicine, somatic sex education, modern understanding and reverence for our physiology and innate intelligence. I value finding the root cause of modern diseases. My work is a reminder that a woman’s soul path and her embodied experience are deeply connected.
I support women at various stages of life to understand and partner with their womb cycle, improve their hormonal health, prepare for pregnancy and birthing in power, discover healing during the postpartum time and own their unique sexual expression. I have a deep commitment to honoring mothers and restoring mother health as a much needed facet of healing our fractured culture.
I am committed to this work because I know that women in the power of their own vitality and embodied sexual expression are medicine for this Earth, as they are then able to move forward in aligned action for the collective. As women and mothers, we must attend to our own belonging here and wake up to our inherent strength and wholeness. I am walking this path with you.
Currently, my practice is in Carlsbad, CA and I offer virtual sessions and online courses worldwide. I travel to Kansas, my home state, a few times a year and offer sessions when I am available.
My personal story
I am a long time yogini, a lifelong student, a compassionate friend, a travel enthusiast, a devoted partner and a mother. My background is rooted in my passion for learning, embodiment, soul-inspired travel and undying curiosity.
I am a Kansas native who has lived in Spain, Costa Rica, Germany and spent extended time in India. Travel is a doorway that allowed me to explore other ways of being in the world starting in my teens.
I found this work after facing my own health and sexual challenges as a teenager and young adult. This included: painful menstruation, ovarian cysts, lack of connection to the Feminine, struggling relationships with other women, a major rupture with my mother, soul crushing anxiety, chronic cervical dysplasia, shame around my sexual expression and confusion on my soul path.
It was really one intense initiation after another for several years as I began to reclaim my vitality and give voice to the Feminine.
I knew that I would have to face my relationship with my own mother and myself if I wanted to make a change. I knew that oral contraceptives couldn’t really be the solution to my hormonal health issues. I knew that there was more to discover and unravel in sexuality . I set out to find healing options that respected my body and improved my health and vitality long term.
I learned more and more about nutrition and lifestyle factors that could support hormonal health. I started meditating and decided to go to India to further study yoga and tantra. I opened my mind and heart to new ways of being in the world and in my own body.
This led me to learning about many ancient healing practices and making some radical changes in my life. After realizing that my own journey was leading me towards my work in the world, I decided to pursue formal education in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine.
During the time I was getting my master’s degree, I continued to study women’s hormonal health, functional medicine, physiological birth, Feminine sexuality and spirituality. I am grateful to have spent time with some amazing teachers along the way: Saul David Raye, Lara Catone, Kimberly Ann Johnson, Ellen Heed, Megan Joyce and Yvonne Farrell.
I have been in practice since 2015, specializing in menstrual health, fertility, prenatal care, birth support and postpartum care. I had my own first baby in 2017, a delightful, revelatory homebirth that was followed by a painful, intense breastfeeding journey. My second baby was born in 2019, a calm, ecstatic freebirth and a deeply healing, easeful breastfeeding journey. Motherhood has rearranged me and also solidified my continued desire to do the work that I do. I have deep respect for mothers everywhere.
Some of my deepest work in this lifetime has been, and continues to be, deconstructing internalized patriarchal oppression of Yin (the Feminine), coming into right relationship with my body, trusting my own power and honoring the Earth that sustains us all.
I continue to learn, grow and evolve every day. I am dedicated to my own healing and wholing process and really aim to live what I teach and share with others. If you want to learn more about me, you can find me on Instagram or Facebook.
