Hi! I’m Kaeri.
I believe that the world and people can HEAL.
I believe in the inner knowledge we all hold. To heal, the world needs more people to connect with their inner knowing and embrace self-honoring actions and behaviors. While self-doubt occasionally steps in, when I connect deep down, I know, without question, that my inner truth is to be honored.
​
I rejoice in my identity as a magical, queer, cis-womyn. I dance through life as mama to two amazing kids, loving wife, health liberator, and intuitive healer. For me “intuitive” means that I use my exquisite awareness, presence, and body-communicated wisdom to make intentional and self-honoring choices each day. I pause to listen to my inner knowing and
deliberately build a schedule which is generative and nourishing. I feel whole when my days leave me feeling grounded and radiant. I aim to honor my natural momentum and deeply enjoy how it flows with the earth’s cycles.
I move into my role as healer, body interpreter, and medical guide with an MD from the University of Wisconsin, a board certification in Family Medicine, training in functional medicine
from the Institute of Functional Medicine, and craniosacral and osteopathic training from Carol Gray and Christopher Frothingham DO. I am working to better understand the effects of colonialism on our medical system through the courses of Dra. Rocio Rosales Meza.
Most of what I use as I practice the art of medicine I didn’t learn in medical school or residency. My most important teachers have been my kids and the many amazing humxns who have trusted me to support them in their healing journeys. I honor each person I support by holding space for their humxnity, trusting the truth of their embodied experience, and remembering their individuality. I honor others’ healing by continuing to bravely step into mine with depth and
vulnerability.
​
I am committed to building and supporting healing spaces where I (and others) can help people connect with and trust in their inner knowing. Through our work, I want my community to feel seen, heard, and honored. Through our work, I want to feel seen, grounded, and radiant.
The important thing to me, as we step into this healing, is holding space for our humxnity.
​
I lead through my own healing.
