Tell your friends:

You don’t have to wait until you’re falling apart to care for yourself.

The body whispers before it shouts.
And tending to yourself now—even in small ways—is a powerful act of trust.

It’s not selfish.
It’s not indulgent. It doesn't steal you from those you love most.
It’s how we stay well and connected and present in our lives.

💫 Share this with the friend who always says “I’m good” but their eyes beg for someone to see the load they are carrying.
They deserve support that goes deeper, that listens, that doesn't look away.

And if you’re that friend—I'm here when you're ready.
Let’s build a care plan that actually cares for you.

Burnout isn’t your fault. But restoration is your responsibility.

Let’s be real.
You were conditioned to overachieve.
To prove, produce, and perform.
To ignore the signs of depletion until they screamed.
You didn’t create this system.
But you do get to opt out.
Restoration isn’t indulgent—it’s essential.
Especially when your hormones, your identity, and your nervous system are all in flux.
Here’s how I’m supporting women this month:
💫 Rest practices personalized to their season of life needs
💫 Somatic tools to release chronic tension
💫 Pleasure rituals to reset your stress response - DM me LIBIDO to get your workbook
💫 And gentle reminders that you don’t have to earn your rest

Inside WILD Wellbeing, August is all about Restoration. If you're tired of repeating the burnout cycle, come join us. Schedule a discovery call to get started.

Let’s talk about what no one warned you about:

Libido killers in midlife.

Your libido isn’t lost. It’s been buried.

✨ Under the mental load.
✨ The exhaustion.
✨ The stress.
✨ The feeling of being disconnected from your own body.

And that’s not your fault.

In specific seasons, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, or midlife, desire may shift—and not just because of hormones (though those matter, too).

The good news? You can reconnect with that part of you.

If you’re ready to unearth what’s underneath and find your way back to your desire...

Drop LIBIDO in the comments or DMs, and I’ll send you my free Libido Liberation Workbook to help you start. ✨

Your body is a force of nature. But somewhere along the way, you forgot.
Maybe you’ve been so busy helping others thrive that you’ve forgotten to step outside and feel the sun on your skin.

Let’s change that.

✨ 20 minutes outside in the morning supports your circadian rhythm
✨ A short walk reconnects you with your body’s natural pace
✨ Listening to birdsong can reset your nervous system

These are not luxuries. They are essential care—especially in perimenopause, when your system is asking for deeper connection and regulation.

This month, we remember: you are a garden worth tending.

Feeling disconnected from your body or cycle? Menstrual Moon + Hormonal Harmony were created for this work. DM me to explore which one is right for you 🤍

Hormonal Harmony is for cycling women, perimenopause, and menopause — because your hormones don’t stop mattering at any stage.

It’s for you if you’re navigating the shifts of your menstrual cycle, perimenopause, or menopause and want thoughtful, expert guidance—whether or not you’re using hormones.

✨ You’ve tried a lot and still want to feel your best.
✨ You want to understand what’s really happening with your body, mind, and hormones—and find the next best step for you.
✨ You’re curious about hormonal options—bioidentical, FDA-approved, compounded—and want to know what fits your unique needs.
✨ You want to explore ways to support your libido, manage symptoms like PMS or PMDD, or improve your fertility and menstrual health.
✨ You’re looking for a whole-person approach that includes lifestyle, nutrition, movement, supplements, and mind-body care—because your wellbeing is more than just a prescription.
✨ You want a compassionate, integrative MD with decades of experience on your team.
✨ And you want a caring, knowledgeable, a little quirky team who’s invested in helping you meet your health goals and thrive.

This is for women who want more than quick fixes.
You want real care. Real support.

If this sounds like you, Hormonal Harmony is the next step.

What can plants teach us about navigating change? A lot, actually.

They grow slowly and steadily. They adapt to their environment. They know when to rest, when to shed, and when to bloom again.

In midlife, especially during perimenopause, their quiet wisdom can remind us to be more patient with ourselves—
to root deeply, stretch toward what nourishes us, and release what no longer serves.

If you’d like a gentle guide inspired by the natural world—comment THRIVE and I’ll send you my Plant VIP Packet. It’s a powerful resource to help you reconnect to yourself with supportive herbs . 💫

What happens after Moon Medicine?

You start to feel more in sync with your body—rather than working against it. ✨

You understand your hormones and the phases of your cycle in a way that helps you make aligned choices about how you eat, move, rest, connect, and show up in the world.

You begin to notice patterns. You stop blaming yourself for shifts in energy or mood. You respond with care instead of pushing through.

This course gives you tools to support your focus, your stress response, your sleep, even your boundaries and intimacy.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about partnership—with your own biology.

Moon Medicine is here to help you return to rhythm.
Your own, wise, body-led rhythm.

What I wish I could tell 5th grade Kristin, who was in an “awkward phase” of new braces, new glasses, and the changes of puberty…

Someday, the way you navigate this season of life will help you guide others as they navigate theirs.

I wish I could tell busy, go-go-go OB-GYN resident Kristin:
Someday, your being will be just as important to you as everything you are doing. It feeds everything.

I wish I could tell the Kristin who felt that being curious was discouraged:
Valuing lifelong learning will become the foundation and fuel for reimagining what’s possible in your 40s.

And I wish I could tell the Kristin who was afraid to start her own practice:

On April 10, 2025, you will celebrate two years of owning a successful Women’s Hormonal Health and Wellbeing clinic and telehealth practice—with systems in place to enjoy life and support your own wellbeing.🤍 I have one 1:1 mentorship spot open right now.

DM me MENTOR if it's yours.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to perimenopause.

Your body is speaking to you every day—through energy shifts, cravings, mood changes, even sleep patterns.

Learning to listen deeply and respond with compassion is one of the most powerful ways to support your health right now.

It might mean:
💫 Adjusting your routine to fit your change in focus and energy
💫 Choosing rest when you usually push
💫 Trying a new way of moving that feels nourishing and powerful.

Trusting your body’s wisdom can guide you through this season with more ease and confidence than any quick fix ever could.
