NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE
"I focus on our foundations of health (eat, play, engage). It gets a little more complicated beyond that, but in simplicity, I am here to educate our community towards a better quality of life. While I can and do practice symptom management; including medications, supplements, diagnostics, assessments, and referrals; most of my patients choose to work with me because they are ready to make foundational changes in their lives." Dr. Kristen Acesta is a naturopathic physician with a doctorate from Bastyr University in Kenmore Washington. She aims first and foremost to educate her patients, inviting them into an inclusive patient-physician relationship that allows for personal growth and transformation, encouraging and empowering her patients to take charge and responsibility of their own health. HERBAL MEDICINE Dr. Acesta incorporates herbalism into her treatments plans and is a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild. She is trained and licensed to prescribe both herbal remedies and pharmaceuticals, and is a resource on adequate usage and appropriate course of treatment. MOVEMENT & THE INTERNAL ARTS Kristen's movement patterns are rooted in form and function, with a heavy emphasis on awareness. She is an E-RYT500 trained yoga teacher with additional trainings in yin and restorative. She has 3 years training in the Dragongate school for qigong, and is currently working on her certification for contrology (also known as Pilates). Kristen has been teaching movement classes in the Wenatchee valley since 2015. Her preferred style is vinyasa or flow, taught and taken as a moving meditation. She routinely hosts classes and workshops on movement, breath, awareness and meditation, and their integration into overall health. CREDENTIALS
