Feral Medicine Utah Evolutionary Medicine | Anthropology | Neuroscience | Epigenetics | Board Certified Health Coach

I am a neuroscientist, cultural anthropologist, board certified holistic health coach and certified yoga/mindfulness instructor. I graduated Summa cm Laude from Arizona State University with a bachelors degree in Health Science with a minor in Healthy Lifestyle and Fitness Science. During my time at the university I was introduced to Evolutionary Medicine, which is now a strong passion of mine and I additionally received an advanced certificate in Evolutionary Medicine as well. I believe in the bodies innate ability to heal itself if given the appropriate conditions. This can be attained through multiple stress management techniques, healthy lifestyle choices, physical activity, and using the appropriate complementary healing modalities regularly. Our bodies have developed amazing evolutionary tools that help us to overcome many ailments, although many people have learned to see these symptoms as things that need to be stopped or suppressed. Unfortunately, modern life has created an environment of chronic dysregulation due to the constant micro-threats that our nervous systems were not built for. This has cause an issue of evolutionary mismatch and caused much of the chronic health and social issues that we see today. I will work with you to identify the area's of your life that you would like to improve both physically and mentally, while helping you move towards nervous system orientation and regulation. You are the driver in your life, and having a clear understanding of evolutionary health behaviors can help you to work towards your ultimate goals, and I will happily help you to work through any challenges that you might face during your journey towards the healthiest you that you can be.

Have you ever wondered how your body’s internal GPS (also known as proprioception) shapes orientation, regulation, and your sense of self?

In my latest newsletter (and blog post) I talk about how fascia, cranial nerves, vestibular and auditory signals map your body in space, and why restoring this internal map improves stress resilience, emotional balance, and nervous system health.

If this interests you, make sure to follow/like/subscribe because part 2 is coming out, and I will be breaking down why this is so import and how to use practical ways to restore proprioceptive clarity and nervous system orientation regulation in daily life.

Our world is flooded with a sense of urgency but urgency isn’t the same thing as clarity, agreement, or truth.

Urgency is a nervous system state.

And when it dominates, it narrows perception, increases rigidity, and makes real social cohesion harder.... not easier.

In my latest newsletter, I explore self-compassion not as a luxury or personality trait, but as a biological and regulatory skill.... how it shapes nervous system function, why it matters for individual and collective health, and how changing our inner dialogue may be one of the most practical ways we start changing the world.

If you’re feeling the pressure (internally or externally) this one’s for you.

Most approaches to stress focus on suppression — relaxing, escaping, or overriding what the body is doing. This guided practice takes a different route.

In this 8–10 minute experience, you’ll explore how your beliefs about stress influence your physiology, energy, and sense of safety. Rather than treating stress as an enemy, you’ll learn to reinterpret it as preparation, energy, and care — signals your nervous system uses to help you meet life.

This practice gently guides you to:

• notice your personal stress associations
• identify subconscious beliefs about stress
• reframe stress responses without forcing calm
• anchor a more supportive nervous system story
• experience stress as usable energy rather than threat

Stress doesn’t automatically harm us. Research increasingly shows that how we think about stress can shape whether it becomes exhausting or empowering. When beliefs shift, physiology often follows.

This practice is ideal if you:

• feel overwhelmed or burnt out
• want stress relief without bypassing or numbing
• struggle with meditation or relaxation techniques
• are curious about nervous system–based healing
• want tools that work in real life, not just quiet rooms
You don’t need to eliminate stress to feel better.

You can change the story your body tells about it.

One of my favorite activities to do with my nervous system clients is explore the medicine of sound….

Because it’s such an important exercise (and one that so many have found helpful) I decided to put it up on my YouTube channel.

There’s quite a few other guided practices there as well, and I’m hoping to have quite a few more up in the next week or so.

If you enjoy them, please leave me a comment or feedback!

I’ll link my website and newsletter in the comments, and they are also in the video description!

We live in a culture obsessed with hustling, forcing outcomes, and “making doors” where none exist.

Meanwhile, concepts like Wu Wei and the law of attraction have been co-opted to mean “just vibe” or “do nothing and the universe will provide.”

But that misses the point entirely.

Wu Wei, a core Taoist principle, isn’t about passivity.... it’s about alignment, awareness, and acting in harmony with what life presents.
In my latest newsletter, I explore how effortless action works in daily life, relationships, and work, and why true flow comes from noticing the doors already open to you.

Check out my latest write up on this incredible principle and how it shows up in my life and what I share with people both personally and professionally.

Curious about nervous system regulation?

Step one is learning how to map your state.

Here’s an introductory practice (straight from my custom course on the nervous system).

I know I have probably said it before.... and I know I will say it again.

Calm isn’t the goal.... connection is.

I wrote a new Substack piece this week called “Healing Isn’t About Being Calm — It’s About Being Real and Regulated.”

It dives into the myth of the “calm spiritual person” and why real healing has nothing to do with staying serene, and everything to do with being honest.

I also made a free journaling guide called “Regulated vs. Repressed,” to help you explore where your calm might be coming from... If it is genuine regulation, or subtle self-protection.

The truth is that neither one is a personal failure, it is more about our biology than our mindset.

If this resonates, you can read the full piece and download the free guide here 👇

This is the direction I’m moving with Feral Resilience.

And we are very, very close to the beta test launch... If you are interested in being one of the first to experience this exploration of our nervous systems, and the clash of modern life with our biology then please join me!

Let's start building the pathway of rewilding our nervous systems and coming home to the full, messy truth of being human.

Do you want to know why people seem like they’re detached from being a human?

Because they are.

Ever see an animal at the zoo?

Of course you have.

Humans have built their own zoos around them.

We’ve done it for convenience, and for ease. To make “life more livable”.

Thanks Amazon.

We have created a society that removes all need for humans to do what humans actually need to do.

You do not get any further from hunting and gathering than laying vertically on your couch, holding a device that order’s door dash and brings it directly to your door, and leaves it on your doorstep.

You dont even have to SPEAK to someone to get your needs met.

ZERO connection.

ZERO mental or physical effort.

ZERO.

But our nervous systems are on hyperdrive.

Constant alerts. Emails. News. Social media. Driving.

Constant streams of information…. And not just pleasant information.

It’s stress causing, inflammatory bull sh$t that creates division, mistrust, and separation. So not only is it impacting our nervous system, but our immune systems by releasing massive amounts of cortisol and shutting down our digestive tracts, constantly raising our heart rates, increasing blood pressure, and effecting our circadian rhythms by reducing the amounts of neurotransmitters/hormones made and impacting our metabolism.

Dont tell me you think both our mental and physical health arent suffering.

There isn’t even an argument against that. Just take a look around at what’s occurring.

Domestic violence. School shootings. Complete political unrest. Distrust in families. Hatred between friends.

Because we’ve taken all the things that humanity needs to do to maintain our metabolic balance through neuro feedback and activity away!

We are the animals at the zoo; who harm each other and ourselves because we no longer remember who or what we are.

Too much stimulation, not enough being “real”.

I’ve built an entire course over the last year on nervous system retraining.

I called it “rewilding”.

You dont need any special equipment.

You dont have to love yoga or even exercise.

There are no supplements to take.

You cannot out supplement or out exercise a stressed out life.

If you could ballerinas, body builders, and nutitionists would be the most balanced, healthy, relaxed people on the planet.

News flash; they arent. Most of them are addicted to some form of pharmaceutical, have an eating disorder, or are so worried about external factors that they become orthorexic.

No matter how much we try, if we dont address what is happening in our nervous systems nothing is going to change.

The course will be done and likely ready for beta testing by October 1.

It’s self-paced, online, and has 6 modules that include about 10 minutes of information per lesson, a worksheet, and guided practices…. since it’s in its testing process I’m willing to be super flexible about cost.

I need feedback from people, if you’ll do that then I will work with you.

The only real meetings would be a 30 min feedback session to tell me what you think, and me to offer support if you have anything you’d want clarity on.

It’s amazing timing.

I didn’t plan that, but it is perfect.

We need to come back to being human.

Before it kills us.

I think I found some ways forward….

Who wants to try?

🤷🏼‍♀️🙏🏼✨🫶🏼✌🏼

GET READY.

Feral Resilience is coming soon.

This isn’t about fixing yourself or becoming someone new. It’s about remembering the parts of you that have always been there… wild, sensitive, resilient…. that just got buried under stress, trauma, and survival mode.

I’m creating this because we were never meant to live domesticated lives, cut off from our bodies and nervous systems. Your system was built to adapt, connect, and regulate. When it gets stuck, it doesn’t mean you’re broken…. it just means it’s time to find your way back.

This space is for the cycle breakers, the deep feelers, the ones who have always sensed there’s more than “just coping.” Together we’ll weave nervous system science, somatic practices, spiritual truth, and the kind of wisdom that comes from being human and alive on this earth.

It’s not a quick fix. It’s not about staying “calm” all the time. It’s about learning how to shift, how to expand your capacity, and how to trust your body again.

I’ll be sharing more soon, and if you want to be the first to know when it opens, you can join the waitlist here

Your resilience is already in you.

We’re just going to uncover it together.

Stop calling yourself an empath.

I know, I know.

BUT KIRA!!!!

Hear me out, because it’s important.

Empath is the word everyone throws around in spiritual spaces trying to make themselves feel more important than everyone else. But the truth is, a lot of what people are calling empathy isn’t empathy at all.

It’s something very different… it’s intuition.

Empathy is real, it’s universal, and it’s built into all of us. It’s when we can feel and resonate with others’ emotions.

Want to know a secret? Our nervous systems are wired for it. Some of us are naturally more sensitive than others, but it’s a capacity everyone has.

Intuition, on the other hand, is different.

Carl Jung wrote about this. It’s the ability to perceive patterns and possibilities beneath the surface. It’s noticing dynamics that other people miss, sensing things before they happen, understanding psychological currents without being able to explain how.

Not everyone has it.

Some people lead with it.

Some barely access it.

A lot of people are confusing the two. They call intuition “empathy” because it’s softer, more relatable, easier to claim as an identity.

But this distinction matters.

Empathy is about emotional resonance.

Intuition is about pattern perception.

They feel different. They operate differently. And how you work with them changes what’s possible in your life.

Modern neuroscience confirms what Jung observed. The brain can pick up patterns before conscious awareness. Gut feelings, subtle signals, and unconscious processing all feed intuition. It’s not mystical. It’s just how some brains operate.

Understanding the difference is important. If you think you’re an empath when you’re actually an intuitive, you may mismanage your boundaries, overextend yourself, or feel isolated. If you know what you’re working with, you can develop it intentionally, protect yourself, and trust your own perception.

If this resonates, there’s so much more to explore.

In my upcoming course, Feral Resilience: Nervous System Rewilding, I actually go deeper into how your biology, nervous system, and perception shape the way you connect, sense, and thrive.

Your system isn’t broken… it’s wildly intelligent.

And learning to read it clearly is everything.
