DR. ALISON KERNS
NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIAN
Dr. Alison is a naturopathic physician, family constellation facilitator, and Somatic Experiencing® practitioner devoted to tending the deeper layers of human healing. Her work honors the truth that we are shaped not only by our own experiences, but by the unseen stories carried in our bodies, our lineages, and the greater field we belong to.
Dr Alison creates a grounded, compassionate space where patients can safely slow down, listen inward, and meet themselves with curiosity. Through gentle presence and a deep trust in the body’s wisdom, she supports individuals in unwinding inherited patterns, restoring inner coherence, and reconnecting with the flow of life that has always been theirs.
Her approach is rooted in embodiment and empowerment—helping people feel at home in their bodies, clear in their boundaries, and connected to the resources that allow healing to take root. Whether working one-on-one or in community circles, Dr. Alison understands healing as a relational process: between body and soul, past and present, self and ancestry, the seen and the unseen.
Dr. Alison is passionate about creating a safe space for healing with her patients. Working together with her patients in groups and one-on-one her focus is on embodiment, empowerment, and healing ancestral and relational trauma. She is based in Boulder, Colorado, but sees patients virtually around the country.
Outside of her work, Dr.Alison nourishes her own vitality through dancing, yoga, drawing, painting, laughter, running, hiking, cooking, traveling, and savoring the fullness of life with her husband and two children.
