HEALTH INTENTIONALLY LLC
Real change takes time.
Health Intentionally is built out of an understanding that change that really matters takes a deeper understanding and care. It takes reflecting, gaining greater self-awareness and clarity, in order to make intentional changes toward a healthier us. And in a world of quick fixes and expensive protocols, I'm finding the foundations more important than ever. We often skip past the "boring" stuff and jump to the fancy and flashy new things. The reality is, there's so much wisdom in the foundations, and so much noise in the fluff. My goal is to help you get that clarity you're looking for so that we can make real progress on what we know moves the needle toward preventative care. That's where our work together lies.

If we haven't met before, I'm Kierstin, and I'm so happy you're here.
As a Licensed Acupuncturist, I'm on a mission to help make health choices less complicated, more sustainable, and evidence-informed.
I know all too well how confusing it can be navigating all the information out there, and how frustrating it is not knowing where to start or what's actually right for you. Far too often I see clients who've been left on restrictive diets, dozens of supplements, endless labs — and though they may feel a little better, they can't sustain the cost or the laundry list of "health hacks" they've stumbled on or been handed.
Or maybe you're someone who's been told there aren't any other options, but you're still dealing with uncomfortable symptoms — gut discomfort, irregular or painful cycles, sleep that isn't restoring you, or a sense of fatigue and overwhelm that won't quite lift.
If either of these sounds like you, you're in the right place.
My goal as your guide is to help you gain clarity on your own health and wellness goals, navigate the obstacles that come with making real lifestyle change, and understand your health and wellbeing from a whole-person perspective. We often view our health in silos — gut health, stress, hormones — but I want to help you see the bigger picture, and how these pieces connect. And ultimately, I want to help you feel better in your body, from the inside out.
If you're ready for that, let's get to work.

Bio
Kierstin was born and raised in Port Huron, MI. She graduated from Central Michigan University with a B.S. in Dietetics and a minor in Entrepreneurship in 2013. She went on to study at the National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) for Naturopathic Medicine beginning in 2014. During her time in school, she participated in a medical brigade in Nicaragua with Natural Doctors International (NDI), where she was introduced to the treatment capacity of acupuncture — after which she dual-enrolled to pursue the Master of Acupuncture program at NUHS. She also spent two weeks in Zaozhuang, China, through NUHS's first study-abroad program, shadowing specialty doctors and practicing Traditional Chinese Medical techniques at an integrative hospital blending TCM and Western medicine.
After completing a year-long clinical internship at the NUHS Whole Health Center, along with rotations with the Salvation Army of Chicago, she completed her studies in 2018.
Kierstin currently holds her Acupuncture License from Michigan and is an NCBAHM diplomate. She maintains her Naturopathic license in Vermont as we work towards licensure here in Michigan.
Michigan does not currently license Naturopathic Doctors. Kierstin's naturopathic medical education is part of her academic background and informs her broader approach to care, but her clinical work with clients is provided solely under her Michigan Acupuncture License and does not substitute for medical care.
