Kassia lives in the mountains outside Bozeman, Montana with her Mother, Partner, three children, and many animals both in the home and in the barn. She had the deep honor of caring for her grandmother in her last months of her life. This experience deeply moved her as did the birth of each of her children. Birth, the postpartum period, chronic pain conditions, emotional trauma, and the time she spent with her grandmother are why she is passionate and committed to assisting others through these times as well.

She enjoys hand embroidering, weight lifting, practicing yoga, savoring good chocolate or tequila, and spending time with friends and family.
