Kirsten McGregor, CCH, AHC, is a board-certified classical homeopath and Ayurvedic practitioner and the founder of Metta Integrative Health in Sacramento, California. Her work is devoted to helping people recover stability, resilience, and trust in their own capacity for health through careful, individualized care rooted in enduring clinical traditions.

Years of sustained study, mentorship, and practice have given Kirsten a profound respect for the intelligence with which illness unfolds. She is valued for the steadiness of her presence, the depth of her listening, and the discernment she brings to knowing when to act and when to allow change to declare itself.

Rather than isolating symptoms, she seeks to understand how a person’s present state has come into being — what burdens have been carried, how adaptation has preserved function, and where those same strategies now ask too much. From this clarity, treatment becomes both precise and deeply responsive.

A Continuum of practice

In Kirsten’s work, Ayurveda and homeopathy function as complementary dimensions of one coherent view of healing.

Homeopathy often illuminates underlying susceptibilities — the characteristic ways a person responds to challenge and expresses imbalance. Ayurveda offers powerful means of strengthening vitality, restoring rhythm, and tending the tangible foundations of recovery through individualized guidance in nourishment, daily life, and therapeutic support.

Together, they allow care to progress from foundation toward refinement, continually adjusting to the living reality of the person as improvement unfolds.

Training and Formation

Such work rests on long immersion in disciplined traditions.

Kirsten is board-certified through the Council for Homeopathic Certification and a graduate of the Academy of Homeopathy Education, where she completed extensive supervised clinical training in acute and chronic conditions.

Her Ayurvedic education includes comprehensive professional study through the California College of Ayurveda - Hindu University of America and Mount Madonna Institute. She is currently completing advanced practitioner-level training at Southern California University of Health Sciences.

This depth of formation supports a practice that is at once thoughtful, exact, and adaptable to complexity.

Cultivated Perception

Over time, knowledge ripens into perception. Kirsten has developed a refined capacity to recognize subtle relationships — shifts in emphasis, sequence, and tone that reveal where strain is rooted and how movement toward health may safely begin.

This is not intuition as inspiration. It is perception trained within lineage, tested in practice, and confirmed through lived results.

Because human beings are multidimensional, change at depth often resonates widely, touching physical symptoms, emotional balance, and resilience together.

Background and Perspective

Before turning fully toward clinical practice, Kirsten held senior leadership roles across media, technology, environmental innovation, and nonprofit sectors. She served as a publisher and strategist, guiding organizations through complexity, growth, and transformation.

These years strengthened her capacity to orient within intricate situations and to proceed with clarity where many variables are in play — abilities that now serve her patients every day.

Personal Foundation

Kirsten’s commitment to this work is also grounded in lived experience. After receiving a diagnosis of stage III ovarian cancer, she navigated intensive treatment while engaging integrative approaches with discernment and care. She has now been cancer-free for more than a decade.

This passage deepened her appreciation for thoughtful guidance, wise timing, and the extraordinary resilience that can emerge when support is well chosen.

The journal was revived to meet a growing need for rigorous, historically grounded, and intellectually serious dialogue within contemporary practice.
