Dr. Kirsten Mackey is a board-certified medicine physician and traditional osteopath with specialty training in functional and holistic medicine.  In this heartfelt episode we explore challenges and celebrations Kirsten has had in her personal path and how she has brought the learning from those experiences into her practice with her patients.  Kirsten uses osteopathic manual medicine (O.M.M.), homeopathy, prolotherapy/neural therapy injections, Ayurveda, autonomic response testing (A.R.T.) to holistically address a variety of health concerns.

As a yoga instructor and former competitive snowboarder and Division I field hockey player, Dr. Mackey learned the importance of a holistic approach to healing and medicine. Her experiences led her to attend osteopathic medical school in the Bay Area and complete her training at the University of Nevada Reno. She formerly served as a clinical faculty member at Western University College of Osteopathic Medicine and currently teaches at the University of Nevada Family Medicine Residency as well as the Shakti School, an Ayurvedic practitioner program.

Dr. Mackey is excited to return to the Lake Tahoe area after most recently working for several years at a highly regarded osteopathic practice in Santa Monica, California. If you're inspired to connect with Kirsten, she practices in the Lake Tahoe, California area and you can find her on her website drkirstenmackey.com.
