Welcome, I’m Dr. Kristina Schieferecke, a passionate women’s and hormonal health focused doctor who is motivated to empower women to know and love their cycles.
I’m a board-certified naturopathic doctor seeing patient in the beautiful state of Colorado. I received my medical degree from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (now Sonoran University) in Tempe, AZ and my bachelor’s degree in Integrative Health Care with an emphasis in Pre-Medicine from Metropolitan State University of Denver. After medical school Dr. Kristina Schieferecke studied under Dr. Heather Wright, ND, in the pursuit to obtain additional training in Oncology but soon discovered her true passion was working with women, balancing hormones, and healing the gastrointestinal tract.
Dr. Kristina Schieferecke’s focus is to take you from surviving to thriving by understanding and treating the root cause. She is passionate about meeting patients where they are at on their healing journey and provide them with tools to find long-term relief of symptoms and dysfunction. She does this by combining different modalities including herbal medicine, biotherapeutic drainage, emotion code, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
When she isn’t in the office, Dr. Schieferecke enjoys spending time with her son, husband, and two dogs (Kona and Milo). She also enjoys exploring Colorado, skiing, hiking, yoga, gardening, and cooking.
My body was weak, exhausted, and fatigued. I had 5 more sets of hills left to run, and my body was unable to go. Frustrated with myself and feeling sheer disappointment from my coaches, I had no answers or explanations as to why. Months passed with no change in my body’s ability to perform and no answers from doctors. I began to become utterly disappointed in myself because nothing was working. Depression hit me hard, anxiety about losing my scholarship set in, and mysterious pounds kept building up. Conventional doctors ignored my concerns and brushed them off like this was nothing more than a common cold that would go away.
Frustrated with the lack of support, I found myself in a holistic practitioner’s office. Skepticism filled my body as the appointment began. Within minutes my doubts slowly vanished, and I finally felt a sense of hope. Someone finally listened to my concerns and gave me the answers that inspired me to pursue a new career path. Working hard to incorporate the doctor’s recommendation, I found my body was slowly getting stronger. As my body continued to heal and bounce back, my college running career came to an end abruptly leading to the disappearance of my identity as an athlete, which I had no clue how to be anything but.
Falling in and out of depression for many years I struggled to find my true self as I continued battling stress, anxiety, and body image issues. I finally decided to seek help for my mental health which led me to a wonderful Naturopathic Doctor. Within the first couple of weeks of following the doctor’s treatment plan everything in my life shifted tremendously and after a year I felt like a whole new person. My journey fueled my passion for naturopathic medicine, as well as my desire to help people heal, people feel heard, and to live their best lives. This is why I became a Naturopathic Doctor.
Naturopathic Medicine is about restoring the body to health using the least invasive and least forceful modalities. It’s what medicine was intended to be: doctors taking care of patients by teaching them how to heal their bodies and own their health.
