After two decades of trying to fix myself through yoga and meditation, moving to India and then Brazil, having a Guru, changing my name and shaving my head (yes, I did that), taking all the plant medicines (all of them), then becoming an integrative doctor and working for some of the biggest names in functional and psychedelic medicine... after all that I still doubted if healing was possible.
I'm not talking about healing a gut issue or fixing your insomnia, although those are important. I'm talking about healing your heart. Mind. Soul, even.
In my ten years of medical practice, I observed that a huge number of my patient's ailments were, in fact, in their head. I'm not saying they aren't real.
Our head problems are more real than anything else.

Turns out it's easy to change your diet. It's not rocket science to start exercising or get a good sleep routine going. Those things can change your life.
But for some of us, it's not enough. We're already doing all of that. Or, no matter how much we try, we keep self sabotaging our way out of a healthy life.
Healthy eating, healthy relationships, healthy self-talk - it's just not in the cards for us.
Changing our mind, or more accurately: rewiring our nervous systems that have been stuck in a stress pattern since, I don't know, birth?... That is the real work.
That work takes a lifetime. But it doesn't have to. It can be quicker. And you don't have to do it alone.
​
To really heal, to integrate our wounds and stop living from the past, letting the inner critic sabotage our deepest desires, to feel and act from our authentic selves... this is the work we do together.
Healing is Possible.
The essence of trauma is a disconnect from the self. Therefore the essence of healing is not just uncovering one’s past, but reconnecting with oneself in the present.

"As a dietitian and functional medicine practitioner, I am VERY picky about who I will work with. After meeting Dr. Kalstein, I knew she was the person I wanted to have be a part of my own personal health journey. I love referring clients to her whenever I can, she is a healer!
