Mission Statement

Kjersti began her healthcare career as a PTA for nearly a decade, specializing in hands-on-healing modalities focused on balancing and soothing the nerves, fascia, muscles and lymphatic systems. She also continued her education in functional movements, postural and balance training, yoga and meditation, mat Pilates for rehabilitation and breathwork. Her fascination for how the mind and body function, repair and heal is an asset to clients looking for pain or stress relief! Each massage, bodywork, energy-work session or yoga class is tailored to create a healing experience unique to you and your own health goals! Her passion also fuels her continued education. This year she is joining the Naughty Shaman Team as Assistant Lead Teacher for Michigan Chapter and Dharma School (Level 1) Earth Keeper program coming to Okemos Mi! Hosted by Chrysalis Reflexology, Hypnosis Enrichment Center! She will also be attending her second class in the summer called Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique: SMRT to enhance her hands-on healing skillset and toolbox for helping clients find pain relief.

With over a decade experience in healing touch and therapeutic interventions she has developed a knack for helping folks with back pain, joint pain or dysfunction (including arthritic conditions), TMJ, neck and shoulder issues, headaches and migraines, low back, hip and knee issues, plantar fascitis/foot pain, neuropathy, repetitive-use or sports injuries, pre/post surgical swelling (medical and cosmetic),  Women's Health issues, and pre/post natal massage/bodywork.

In 2014, Kjersti earned her yoga teacher certificate and began teaching yoga classes for healthy backs at a local Michigan studio. It was also at this studio (2014) that she was introduced to Peruvian Shamanism and the Naughty Shaman program Dharma School. Yoga, Meditation, Transpersonal Coaching, Energy Work and Shamanism have played an essential role in Kjersti's own healing journey. After a decade of working with these holistic therapies and ways of living she shares these practices and teachings with her communities to assist those looking to reclaim freedom and power in their own lives.

When Kjersti isn't working, she likes growing fresh vegetable/herb gardens at home, kayaking the river and spotting eagles and other wildlife, travelling, trying new cooking recipes, walking/hiking in nature with friends, spending the day at the Great Lakes beaches and spending time with family and friends in nature. Together Kjersti and her husband and best friend, Steve are raising a blended family of four plus their dog Appa, and two cats Waffles and Jack.
