About

Kristine Roy, CHHC, AADP

Founder of Sierra Sol Wellness (and former owner of Sage Wellness PDX in Portland, OR), I have been studying and practicing the healing arts for over 15 years and offer sensitive and compassionate care with a truly holistic approach.

I am a community herbalist, Reiki master, and board-certified Integrative Nutrition health coach with training in many additional modalities including auriculotherapy, cupping therapy, and somatic movement, as well as full-spectrum birthwork and deathwork. Every aspect of my work is rooted in the Wise Woman Tradition and deeply inspired by my connection to the natural world.

A mother of four and grandmother of one, in my free time, I enjoy spending as much time as possible outdoors – hiking and gardening, as well as cooking, and various other creative pursuits.
