Behind the Wild
Hi, I'm Kirsten, former midwesterner and lifelong yogi who now lives in St. George, Utah after working my butt off to refinish my Michigan home, sell 90% off my belongings, and hit the road for a more non-traditional life. A life where I got to travel full time and live out of my vehicle. I got to hike and be out in nature every single day. I picked up a new hobby (rock climbing!), learned to canyoneer, and even jumped out of a plane!
But the most important part of this journey was my journey back to myself. After feeling burned out for years, I realized it had been just as long since I had truly done something for myself. I was caught in a cycle of living for everyone else so much that I had lost a sense of who I was and even of what I enjoyed out of life. I was disconnected from my deep, wild soul.
For too long, I had denied myself of my voice. My spirit. My own self-love. When I finally, finally stopped quieting my intuition, my inner guidance, my Wild woman, I was able to step out of a place of chaos into a place of beauty. When I got divorced to protect my own safety and start listening to my gut, I changed my last name to Wild so that I may never forget.
And none of that would have been possible without first learning to love myself and my body. Yoga was instrumental. It taught me to look inward, to feel comfortable and confident in my skin, to listen to what my body and my emotions to feel for what I needed to move forward and let go of what no longer served me.
Now that I’ve stepped into a new journey of motherhood, I’m taking all that I’ve learned with me. I practiced yoga throughout my pregnancy and was certified as a prenatal yoga teacher during that time. It helped me remain active, hiking and rock climbing up until the day I went into labor, and I went my entire pregnancy with virtually no pain. Now in motherhood, my life looks a little different, but I’m challenging myself to continue to have a life lived wild.
I’m passionate about helping other women find relief through pregnancy, birth, and beyond and remind them that a mom that takes care of herself is one that can better care for baby and her family.
