SERVICES
Acupuncture
Whether you need pain relief, relaxation, need help with a breech baby, or need support for labor induction, the ancient art of acupuncture can bring relief for many conditions.
Herbal Medicine
Nature's greatest healing secret is in plants. Customized herbal medicine can be part of your treatment plan or used to prevent future illness with herbs safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Doula Support
A holistic doula supports the needs of your pregnancy and birth as well as the needs of your birth partner so you can both focus on enjoying the experience of the birth of your baby knowing you will be taken care of mind, body and spirit. Learn more about doula packages here.
Food is the foundation for health and supplies the building blocks for growing your healthy baby. Avoid all of the confusing information out there about the "best" diet and learn what will really work for you and your family's unique needs.
Prenatal Breathwork
Transformational breathwork is a unique form of hypnotic, meditative, rhythmic breathing that supports relaxation and helps you address any underlying fears about pregnancy and birth.
Body Alignment
Alignment is key for reducing pain in pregnancy and helping baby find the most optimal position for labor. As a Certified Body Ready Method© pro, I can help you identify alignment suggestions and supportive exercises from the first trimester to the third to help you optimize your body for a better pregnancy & birth experience. Learn more about the Body Ready Method here.
Childbirth Education
Holistic & physiologic childbirth education is one of the most important tools for a successful birth outcome. I offer the most in-depth physiologic birth education based on the combination of traditional Western midwifery knowledge and Eastern medicine concepts. Learn more about the online program here.
Chinese medicine has a long history of supporting families through the conception journey. Whether you are just beginning your family and want to optimize your health, have faced health challenges, or are already using assisted reproductive technologies like IUI or IVF, Chinese medicine can help support any stage of your fertility journey.
HAPPY MOMS
I've been seeing Tristin for several years now and I have recommended her to so many people in my life, for a multitude of issues. For one - she seems to be a miracle worker on the fertility front. She has helped not just me, but my sister and more friends than I can count on my fingers - all with health issues or histories of miscarriages or years of infertility - carry out healthy pregnancies and beautiful, healthy babies. She has an amazing understanding of how the whole body works together and can tend to issues ranging from pain to temporary sickness to chronic illness. She also uses needles the most efficiently that I have ever experienced (meaning you won't be laying there with fifty needles - she knows where to put maybe four or five that are just as effective). I can't recommend her enough.

I've had the privilege of working with Tristin for about 8 years. I originally went to see her after being recommended by a friend and have subsequently told basically anyone who will listen about how helpful and healing her work is. She has helped me with a number of issues but most notably, a difficult fertility journey and then 2 healthy pregnancies - one set of twins and a singleton. Her breadth of knowledge is remarkable and rare. I'm grateful for her curious and thoughtful approach. She is a force of sanity and balance in a health system that for me, can be overwhelming and anxiety producing.
~Hilary H.
I couldn't recommend Tristin enough. My first ever experience with acupuncture was with Tristin, and she put me at ease immediately. We spent the first portion of the visit talking, so she could get to know me in a holistic way. By the time we got to needles, they were practically a minor detail! I walk away from my visits with Tristin feeling calm and empowered. She truly has a gift.

I'm Tristin, and I love helping women optimize their prenatal health and have a fulfilling birth.
My focus is helping women reduce the risk of pregnancy and birth complications with holistic approaches so they can have the birth they want and avoid interventions they don't need.
After earning my Master's degree in Chinese medicine from Bastyr University in Seattle in 2006, I open my practice in Bellevue and Redmond. Though my education was of the highest standards for Chinese medicine, and it prepared me technically for the practice of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, I felt that something was missing from my knowledge base. After studying with several amazing teachers who provided more technical knowledge, in 2011 I finally found the mentor who would provide me the insights into Chinese medicine I was looking for that helped me become a more holistic practitioner. In the coming years, my mentor, Dr Yaron Seidman, and I would publish a book, Hunyuan Fertility: Conception, Babies & Miracles.
I have also earned certificates in childbirth education, clinical whole foods nutrition, breathwork facilitation, the Body Ready Method© for pregnancy and birth, as well as the Holistic Doula training and a 10-month immersion in Quantum Midwifery practices from the Matrona.
With this combination of tools, I create unique and individual support packages for each woman I serve to help her reach her health and wellness goals to be able to say "I loved being pregnant and giving birth!".
Contact me today if you would like to incorporate an integrative approach into your pregnancy care.
