“Our communities are even more disjointed following Covid, and stress is abundant.

Mindset Coach Kirsten Larsen, MOT, OTR/L, will be joining us here at LV Integrative Medicine to help create community and develop the skills that we are all assumed to have and have never been taught like stress management, motivation, communication, and conflict resolution.
