I was born in Germany to a military father, a retired contractor from Japan, and a holistic stay-at-home mother who later became a master massage therapist and practitioner of Eastern medicine. I relocated to Honolulu at the age of 2. As a person of mixed race, I often grappled with confusion about my identity and place in the world. I come from a large family of six siblings.

Exploring my genealogy revealed intriguing stories, such as my maternal lineage's connection to the Napoleon wars in Switzerland, migration to Germany, a shipwreck on the East Coast of the United States, and subsequent rescue by freed slaves. This ancestral journey eventually led to intermarriage with Native Americans, contributing to my diverse heritage. On my father's side in Japan, my family consisted of farmers who migrated from Korea and as far as Serbia. My great-grandfather, an engineer for the Japanese government, maintained a lineage and family name shrouded in mystery. My grandmother fled Japan as a single mother and sought refuge in Honolulu.

My family was strict and practiced the Mormon religion.  I constantly found myself at odds with them because I questioned the inconsistencies of Mormonism  at a young age.  I was shunned and not accepted for my beliefs and this created a toxic family dynamic within the siblings.  When I was 13, I spent 2 years in the juvenile delinquent system in Utah, and at 15, in Honolulu, experimenting constantly with marijuana, club drugs and psychedelics, I ran away from home. I didn't feel my parents understood me, nor was it a positive environment psychologically for me to feel safe and flourish or develop in a healthy way. I was the scapegoat for toxic behavior and unable to express myself safely.

Ancestral wounds of immigration runs in my family.  Lack of connection, tradition and family roots. Hawaii was a very racist place growing up in and has a history to justify this anger with colonialism.  I found myself misplaced. I do not know my paternal grandfather or my true origins. And I know little about my Japanese heritage except that they are farmers.

Ancestral wounds related to immigration and a lack of connection to tradition and family roots permeated my family. Growing up in racially charged Hawaii added to my sense of displacement. I lacked information about my paternal grandfather and my true origins, with minimal knowledge of my Japanese heritage beyond their farming background.

During my youth, I lived in hotels, engaged in substance sales for survival, and developed a "hustle mode" that, psychologically, resembled a form of PTSD. This lifestyle also nurtured toxic dynamics and a penchant for luxury, materialism, and travel. Spending time on the streets led to involvement in illegal activities to improve my financial situation.

Embracing the survival mentality of a street kid provided both challenges and gifts, pushing me to thrive. Yet, it also became a form of PTSD that required letting go. I utilized charisma and beauty to navigate relationships, often manipulatively. However, cultivating a relationship with myself allowed me to attract healthier connections.

At the age of 20, I became a mother to Kailani. To financially support my newborn, I entered the world of dancing. I intimately understand the challenges of single motherhood and financial struggles, recognizing the importance of community support in raising a child. This journey also led me to practices like tantric dearmouring, aimed at healing past sexual conditioning and trauma.

Reflecting on my past, I forgive myself for not being a conscious parent initially. Now, as I grow with my daughter, I acknowledge the healing power that comes with conscious parenting. Having worked in the Las Vegas adult entertainment scene, I've encountered diverse women, from high-end escorts to human trafficking survivors, and shared experiences with many single mothers. The challenges of single parenthood can trigger PTSD and survival modes, often manifesting as hyper-independence and difficulty receiving support. My path involves continuous growth, healing, and embracing the lessons provided by our children, who are both our teachers and the future of generations to come.

I spent numerous years in Las Vegas working in the adult entertainment industry. Financial irresponsibility marked this period, as I impulsively spent money on material possessions to fill an internal void. Battling constant depression, anxiety, and insomnia, I relied on a daily cocktail of medications. My relationships were tumultuous, characterized by attracting the wrong people and unfaithful partners, leading me to embrace solitude and focus on earning money. Taking radical responsibility for my life brought about a shift, no longer positioning myself as a victim but actively attracting a vibrational match for the fulfillment I deserved.

My early life as a classically trained pianist, flutist, and occasional drummer included forays into electronic production and DJing. Despite being an atheist focused on materialism, the gym served as my sanctuary, a place where I channeled pain through bodybuilding, MMA training, and fitness instruction.

Working in adult entertainment afforded me a leisurely lifestyle filled with spa retreats, travel, shopping, and material indulgence, yet happiness, peace, and true abundance eluded me. My connection to frequency, sound, the body, and the healing properties of herbs and plants, particularly in Hawaii, became paramount. Gardening, hiking, and preparing fresh farm-to-table meals with international flair brought joy. I embraced the solar energies of feminine lunar cycles, reveled in sunrises and sunsets, and developed a profound passion for environmental, political, capitalist, and social issues.

As a healer confronting daily challenges tied to systemic problems, I recognized the impact of the current world order on physical and mental health—from food and water sources to media consumption and work-related stress. The strain on the nervous system contributes to survival mode, leading to neurological and physiological issues.

The 2020 lockdown, marked by neurotoxicity, a herniated L5 disc, nerve shutdown, and paralysis, prompted my self-healing journey. Financial constraints and uncertainty about the economy's reopening led me to explore the Pandora Star Lamp. Unaware of its full potential initially, I delved into consciousness and spiritual awakening, correlating physical healing with emotional and mental well-being.

The journey progressed from body healing to plant medicine use and deep meditations, with experiences in India and Bali studying Tantra, Kundalini, Pranayama, and Hatha. My intuitive movement and tantric healing modalities emerged, enriched by a relationship with a shaman and explorations with plant medicines like Bufo, ayahuasca, psilocybin, kambo, and iboga. The transformative power of hapé opened my heart, despite the conclusion of that relationship revealing deeper feminine wounds that needed healing.

Engaging in diverse studies and embracing various philosophies, I became adept at holistic practices. Rejecting dogmatic religion, I incorporated elements from different cultures and traditions, merging them with science and modern wisdom to shape my personal beliefs and practices.

Kristie, the remarkable founder of Third Eye Hawaii, is a true multi-faceted medicine woman. Her profound journey began with the introduction to the Pandora Star light, ultimately shaping her into the practitioner she is today. Her thirst for knowledge led her to delve into various techniques and modalities, including hypnotherapy, yoga, Ayurvedic medicine, and shamanic healing. Through her ability to blend these diverse practices, Kristie has developed a unique and expansive repertoire in the esoteric arts.

Fascinated by the realms of divination and dream healing, Kristie's personal interests extend far beyond the metaphysical. With an avid passion for nature, quantum physics, plants and herbs, as well as physical fitness, sports medicine, psychology, and social sciences, she effortlessly integrates science, philosophy, and logic with the mystical and intangible. As an art major, Kristie savors the thought-provoking nature of art, but she recognizes nature itself as her most profound teacher.

In contrast to teaching or preaching spiritual dogma, Kristie firmly believes that each individual's path is sacred and distinctive. Life, in her eyes, is about joy, creation, exploration, love, heartbreak, and embracing new experiences. She wholeheartedly champions the notion that the journey is not about reaching the finish line unscathed, but rather about embracing expansion and growth. With an unwavering commitment to healing the spirit and energy, Kristie understands that within the stillness of one's mind, spiritual truth and awakening naturally unfold.

For Kristie, every healer must embark on a personal journey of inner work, recognizing that within their wounds lies their greatest gift. She herself embodies the archetype of a wounded healer, constantly confronting her own shadows and drawing upon her unique experiences to project a compelling and transformative frequency. Through her profound understanding of personal struggle, Kristie possesses the ability to guide others towards the light, illuminating their own paths of healing and self-discovery.
