Can you see the ecstatic dance of your wildest dreams?
Can you feel the gnawing rumblings of your ravenous soul?
Can you smell the intoxicating aroma of your potent purpose and potential?
Rewilding: A Woman’s Quest to Remember Her Roots, Rekindle Her Instincts, and Reclaim Her Sovereignty is the intimately personal and intensely relatable story of Dr. Kristy Vanacore, a suburban hockey mom, wife, and clinical psychologist, who despite appearing to have it all, was slowly, achingly dying from her own pathologies. Mentally brainwashed, physically broken, emotionally numb, and spiritually asleep, Kristy was simultaneously overwhelmed and underwhelmed; a caged horse shackled by fear, siphoned of life force, verging on extinction.
Kristy invites you into her raw and honest account of metamorphosing from near death and disassociation to resolving complex trauma, awakening to purpose, reclaiming her truth, and reveling in the sovereignty of her spirit. She shares her Rewilding journey–an emancipation from the domestication and conditioning of tolerance, distraction, and fear to the empowered freedom of inherent curiosity, passion, instinctual wisdom, and joy. Her story inspires others to do the same.
Author Bio
Known as the modern-day medicine woman, Dr. Kristy Vanacore has been a prominent trailblazer in the field of holistic psychology for two decades. She has developed an innovative approach to mind-body-spirit healing by integrating science with ancient wisdom to reconnect modern seekers with their roots, instincts, and natural freedom.
In her private practice, Kristy combines evidenced-based therapeutic techniques such as Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Family Systems Therapy and Parent Coaching; somato-emotional release practices like Yoga, Conscious Dance, Authentic Movement, Nervous System Rebalancing, and Craniosacral Balancing; Energy Therapy such as Reiki Shamanic Healing practices; and functional medicine.
Kristy’s life mission has been creating an innovative center for collective healing and community. To date, thousands of families from all over the world have received support through individual coaching, empowerment groups, wellness retreats, and classes. Kristy regularly consults with schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and retreat centers. She is frequently invited to speak locally and nationally about topics such as rebirth of parents, rewilding for families, mindfulness for children, mindful parenting, empowerment and resiliency for children and teens, health and wellness for families, meditation and spiritual development. Kristy also created a professional development mentorship for aspiring healers and world servers.
As a sacred storyteller, Kristy astutely shares the wisdom of the elders through both oral and written tradition. She has seen evidence that excavating one’s story is key to becoming a whole being. To that end, she integrates writing into her coaching as an effective part of her clients’ healing journeys.
Kristy frequently writes blogs, articles for various publications, as well as collections of poetry. Kristy lives with her family in Connecticut and can be found online at www.kmvgroup.org.
