Do you know you can trust your baby and your body but also crave support from wise women who have done this before?Â
Â
Do you want to actually feel good during pregnancy and in the immediate postpartum time?Â

Â
The Vital Pregnancy Collective is a space to soften into pregnancy, gather ancient wisdom for the birthing year and receive support from me and other women navigating pregnancy in a holistic, non-medicalized way.
Â
Pregnancy is an expression of our innate vitality and it really does not require constant monitoring, fear or medical intervention. Whether you feel this truth deep in your bones or you’re still deprograming beliefs around maternity, this is for you.Â
Within the collective, you will feel…Â
⊹ Safe and held to ask any questions about your body, birth, your baby, and whatever else arises for you during this sacred time
⊹ Joy and excitement as you learn to care for your body outside of the medical system through simple acupressure techniques, and other TCM and holistic approachesÂ
⊹ Community and connection when hearing from other mothers on their journey and sharing your ownÂ
⊹ Power in your choice to gain the knowledge and understanding of pregnancy and birth guided by your intuition
⊹ Clarity in how to address any pregnancy “symptoms” as they arise without focusing on pathologizing your pregnancy or dismissing your experienceÂ

“This is my first pregnancy and it's been so nice to have the Vital Pregnancy Collective as part of my support system on this journey. Kristin is truly a deep wealth of knowledge, her classes and workshops never disappoint.
I’ve enjoyed attending the live calls and also feel so grateful to have the ever-building library of courses, videos, and workshops to learn from. As someone who is navigating pregnancy outside of the medical system having access to this material and to Kristin's support is invaluable. Thank you Kristin!”

Hi, I’m Kristin. I’ll be your guide.Â
I’m a mother of 4. I’ve had 4 homebirths, 3 of which were family-centered freebirths that were each unique, expansive and also totally simple and mundane.
I’ve been practicing acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine since 2013, focused on supporting women fertility through postpartum. Prior to that, I was a birth doula. I stopped attending births the day I found out I was pregnant with my first in 2016. I knew I could not return to a completely broken medical system and pretend that my presence was somehow “helping” a system built on predatory practices that sabotage birth.Â
Since then, I’ve focused on showing women that there is indeed another way to navigate pregnancy and birth. It can include radically holistic support from whoever you choose to be part of your journey! You don’t have to do this alone and at the same time it is a beautiful process to embrace pregnancy as the normal state of vitality that it is.Â
Are you ready to question your conditioning around prenatal care and redefine it in a way that truly nourishes you? That’s what the Vital Pregnancy Collective is here for!
How the collective works:Â
You choose whether you want to join for 3 months, 6 months or 9 months. Once you join us, you’ll have immediate access to all course materials (including any monthly masterclasses that have already taken place).Â
All course materials will be available to download.
Words from women who have worked with me during pregnancy...
"It took me some time to get pregnant and once I did, I needed tending to. I found Kristin through my midwife and saw her consistently for acupuncture. But it was so much more than that, Kristin held space and drew from her own experiences to help bring me along. I had a low lying placenta and a breech babe, which all resolved by the time birth came and I had no doubt Kristin’s care played a part in that. Every time I went in for a visit, I left feeling other worldly - with more energy to sit in my body and prepare for labor. She is a must if you’re looking for acupuncture during pregnancy (and beyond really). Her expertise is vast and invaluable on the journey."
-Mary
“So thankful for my acupuncturist, who has been so much more than an acupuncturist for me. She’s been the feminine nurturing support I needed to heal my cycle and fix my fertility, allowing for two pregnancies that occurred naturally after an infertility diagnosis, miscarriage and failed IVF. She’s been the honest, open and authentic mirror of motherhood and all its ups and downs. She’s been a wealth of knowledge not only in Chinese Medicine and treating everything from cysts to bleeding to autoimmune issues to mastitis, but also referring me to my team of amazing women who have helped me with every aspect of pregnancy and postpartum and have been by my side every step of the way. She helped me heal from my first birth with pelvic mapping and massage, taught me how to take care of my body with steaming herbs, supplements, nourishing foods and teas. She offered classes on awakening the sexual desires of women and mothers after childbirth and creating resilience in an impossible and broken culture and taught me how to regulate my nervous system in order to allow pleasure back into my life. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her, her deep and knowing knowledge of Chinese Medicine, herbs and motherhood or her belief in my body to heal and carry and birth and experience fully. In a world where we, as women, still feel so alone - women who help and support us along the way are a light in the dark.”
-Kara
"I began seeing Kristin in my second trimester of pregnancy in hopes that acupuncture would help to relieve my lingering nausea, and continued to see her regularly up until my baby boy arrived. Kristin did much more than provide acupuncture services - she held space for me in a way few others did. As a first time mom navigating a variety of unexpected pregnancy symptoms, I was often overwhelmed and discouraged by the time our appointments rolled around. Kristin consistently treated me with care and compassion, and was generous with her time and expertise. She remembered details that I shared with her and seemed always to deeply consider my unique set of circumstances - not something I can say for every prenatal care provider. Not only did I find respite on her acupuncture table, but I found solace and kinship in our conversations. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kristin's services to other mothers-to-be."
-Cameron
“I saw Kristin Hauser before the birth of my son in August of 2015. She is amazing. I had back pain during my pregnancy and within a few sessions it was gone!”
