Kerstin Hecker is a Health Advocate and founder of IndigoMuse.

When five of her friends died of cancer in their 40’s, Kerstin was compelled to answer the question “What creates health?”. She launched IndigoMuse which focuses on Holistic Counseling. As a Doctoral Candidate in Depth Psychology, as well as Somatic Experiencing® & Integrative Health Practitioner, Kerstin understands the intersection of health and psychology; engaging her client’s whole mind (Body, Brain, and Relational Field) through the process of inquiry.

Kerstin works with adults who are excited by the prospect of change and who have hope that their future can be different from their past. Through individual counseling, Kerstin’s goal is to provide sustainable health and psychological well-being. She believes that the combination of psychology and a holistic approach can enrich one’s life and hopes to help many people overcome their health and psychological issues.

As a background, Kerstin has worn many hats. She has been Vice World Champion in exhibition dancing at the age of 21, completed her master's degree in business at the age of 23, worked in corporate media for 28 years, and advised companies on creating integrative learning programs for their employees.

As a board-certified Holistic Health Coach, accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, Kerstin studied with Dr. Andrew Weil, Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, Dr. Deepak Chopra, a leader in the field of mind-body medicine, Dr. David Katz, Director of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center, Dr. Walter Willett, Chair of Nutrition at Harvard University, Julia Ross expert on emotional eating and many other leading researchers and nutrition authorities.

Realizing that most client health and nutrition challenges were behaviorally rooted; Kerstin trained as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner® and Certified Holistic Counselor, accredited by S.I.A.F., and acquired the Working with People™ certification. She is currently completing her doctorate in Depth Psychology. Kerstin has studied and worked with Attachment Theory and Trauma Resolution (Diane Poole Heller), Somatic Experiencing® Trauma Healing (Peter Levine), Core Energetics, Regression (Brian Weiss), NLP, Family Constellation, Enneagram, and Primal Therapy. In addition to training, Kerstin has spent many hours with her own therapist to ensure that she is not just trained in the theory, but also has personal experience and can support individuals in their own processes.

Combining her vast experience in health, somatic counseling, integrative learning, and business, Kerstin's compassionate counseling methodologies have produced life-altering changes in her clients. She is a National Speaker, and regular contributor to BooksforBetterLiving, empowering individuals and companies to create vibrant leaders for the 21st century. 

My Story 
Understanding how nourishing myself was directly linked to the various health symptoms I experienced was a big breakthrough for me. By listening to my body's needs, I was able to boost my immune system, and fend off years of sinus issues, colds, headaches, and back pain all while having more energy. None of the recommendations on restoring my body's immune system came from doctors. Instead, the doctors told me to use medication and recommended I schedule a sinus operation. Thankfully I followed a different path, one that not only provided me temporary relief; it got rid of the symptoms altogether. 

Natural healing methods have always been available, but years of negative reinforcement and smart marketing campaigns have left most people confused about what to do and who to believe.

Let me share the lessons learned, inspiring you on your own path of health to restore your body's healing modalities. Over the years, I've had the pleasure to work with many people with various health conditions. I am always excited to witness the transformations that happen when simple dietary and lifestyle changes are implemented.
