In other words: Eat • Play • Engage HERBAL MEDICINE Dr. Acesta incorporates herbalism into her treatments plans and is a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild. She co-owns Salt Creek Apothecary, an herbal company focusing on local + wildcrafted medicinals. She is trained and licensed to prescribe both herbal remedies and pharmaceuticals, and is an invaluable resource on adequate usage, polypharmacy, and appropriate course of treatment. MOVEMENT & THE INTERNAL ARTS Kristen's movement patterns are rooted in physical therapy, structure, and form, with a heavy emphasis on internal awareness. Our ability to breathe, hold intention, and move with grace is the foundation of mind body integration. She is an E-RYT500 trained yoga teacher, teaching 5-12 classes a week, opened/operated a yoga studio in Cashmere from 2017-2020, and currently apprentices with Wudang Pai Taijiquan and Qigong, along with hosting routine meditation workshops. She has been teaching in the valley since 2015. Her preferred style is vinyasa and yin, taught and taken as a moving meditation and internal dialog. You can find her teaching throughout the valley at our local yoga studios. CREDENTIALS
