About — The Dancing Curtain

It all started with comedy… My business began from a place of joy, from a calling, and I answered the call.

I filled my days writing sketch comedy, laughing, and then, decided to turn my pastime into a sketch comedy business. This was the spring of 2009. My comedy shows uplifted audiences during the recession. Then transitioned into performing standup in Connecticut and New York City.

My passion brought me to California, first to San Francisco and then to Hollywood.

Since my hair had always been my signature, most of the comedy was about my thick hair.

“It took my mother six hours to wash, dry and braid my hair. I could have driven to D.C. in the same amount of time!”

I performed at the Marsh in San Francisco and I had my own variety show, Khristee’s Fresh Squeezed Comedy Show at Second City in Los Angeles.

Throughout my life, I have always concentrated on lifting up others’ spirits to help them to feel good.

So, it was no surprise that I created a comedy business to help heal others through laughter.

From comedy I transitioned to helping women to overcome chronic conditions and illnesses to bring them joy. It was a natural progression of healing since I overcame my 15-year chronic illness in 2010.

Today, I am a holistic healer who helps women to be joyful from pre-conception (any time before conceiving) through postpartum.

Clients call me the Miracle Worker because I help my clients to finally get the help and relief they desire after they have been to countless doctors or healers who couldn’t help them. I clarify your root cause and heal that first and recommend customized action steps for fast, lasting results. Plus as a medium and medical intuitive, I connect to your mind, body, spirit, and the divine for guidance and inspiration.

Clients call me the Healer of Healers because I am a powerful healer.

People say that I am like a lighthouse that shines its light and helps them to see when they are going through thick fog.

I have been a healer for about 20 years and love the work that I do. I may suggest food as medicine, natural remedies, meditation, detoxification, mindset work, creativity, and more. I am concentrating on healing through fun and expression.

I teach women how to conceive naturally (especially older women) and how to prepare for the pregnancy/birth journey to avoid developing chronic conditions in pregnancy and postpartum and complications at birth or having sick children.

Also, I have shifted into writing and speaking. Currently, I am writing a three-book series to heal how we view and experience childbirth. Chronic conditions and birth complications are on the rise and are expected to continue unless a holistic approach is taken. My book addresses chronic conditions in pregnancy and postpartum with natural solutions and prevention and understanding why birth complications happen. It also bridges the divide on the topic of childbirth among mothers by understanding childbirth holistically. I am covering such topics as fertility, morning sickness, HG, preeclampsia, arachnoiditis, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis. I have researched extensively and interviewed about 100 mothers and childbirth experts around the world. In my books, I share intimate childbirth stories and offer my insights as a holistic healer for greater understanding. Even though I have never had a child, I empathize with women’s experiences because I see many similarities with my life.

I had a debilitating chronic illness of my own for 15 years and saw first-hand the gender bias and medical gaslighting women with chronic illnesses experience. They are often dismissed and not treated. Instead they are told that they don’t know why they have the symptoms they do, there is no known cause and they have to move on and accept their fate.

After experiencing this myself and seeing how many other women were experiencing the same, I made it my life mission to empower women that they could improve their health and wellness no matter what their doctors said and they could do it naturally. I use my twenty-year experience as a healer to help provide natural ways to heal. Also, I have great knowledge from researching health and wellness for over 25 years for myself, my clients, and from researching for my book.

When I began researching for my book, I learned that there were health conditions that happen only during pregnancy or post-partum such as pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, HG, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum psychosis. Women weren’t getting the help they needed resulting in traumatic births or health conditions for themselves and their babies later on. I was amazed that there hadn’t been more research and dedication to help moms.

As a medium, holistic healer, and avid researcher, I saw this as an area I could offer greater understanding, support, and healing to women. It fills me with joy to be able to help women in this capacity to restore their health and bring them back to joy.

My Mission

My mission is to help women to be joyful from pre-conception to postpartum. It is our birthright to be joyful.

My Unexpected Journey:

I had dreams about becoming an actress on Broadway but developed a debilitating chronic illness and moved from NYC to Connecticut to regain my health.
After seeing a random flyer in a waiting room about a Russian shaman traveling to Connecticut, I began studying shamanism for many years in Connecticut and New York and began to feel better. I include these powerful healing techniques in my healing sessions and combine with Reiki for a powerful combination.

In 2010, I healed myself from a debilitating 15 year illness through the power of my positive mind, meditation, food,, and my immense desire to be well. (a miraculous healing in only ONE month!)
In 2016, I followed my dream to travel to South America. I traveled around Peru for 3 weeks on my own, soaking up the culture, making new friends, and practicing my Spanish. I was invited to dance in the Candelaria Festival, the biggest cultural festival in Peru. I had an awakening there that lead me to leave my acting career in Los Angeles and move to Connecticut to pursue healing full-time.

In 2017, I began channeling spirit and in 2018 began to share my healing journey through inspirational talks.

In July 2019, I started writing my book about childbirth around the world through a holistic perspective. I interviewed mothers and childbirth experts around the world about their childbirth experiences. Also, I began my extensive research.
In the fall of 2019, my muse led me back to Peru for two months to interview mothers and childbirth experts about my new book in-person to capture marginalized voices. Seeing the sacred site of Machu Picchu on 11/11 was a dream come true! I prayed on top of the mountain.

In December 2019, my story of how I overcame my debilitating chronic illness naturally in one month was featured in Allison Melody’s bestselling book, Food Heals. Get your copy on Amazon!
In March 2020, for Women’s History Month and on the International Women’s Day, I launched my new blog about childbirth around the world, Mum’s The Word: Mothers Speaking Out About Childbirth Around The World. And all of my services became digital.
In 2023, I launched a new TV show called Holistic Me TV. Watch it here. I hosted this TV show. I interviewed health experts around the world to empower you. Season 2 will be about the pregnancy journey.
