About Kendra

Welcome to Merkaba Center for Healing. Discover how Kendra's unique approach can help you harmonize your mind, body, soul, and spirit to unlock your true potential.

A Deep Dive into Holistic Healing

Kendra's journey into holistic healing is deeply rooted in her extensive background and personal experiences. Holding a B.A. in Psychology and an A.S. in Occupational Therapy, her career (1996–2020) included acute care, home health, and outpatient clinics, with a specialization in upper extremity rehabilitation and brain injury recovery. Her passion for education led her to teach OT at Linn-Benton Community College (2013–2020) and founded the PNW Head Injury Support Group (2012). From 2013–2021, she served on the Brain Injury Alliance of Oregon board, as secretary and president, and was a consistent speaker and facilitator at the annual PNW Head Injury conference. For years, she held a national certification as a certified brain injury specialist.

In 2017, Kendra launched her holistic healing practice, blending Tensegrity Medicine™, Bowenwork, Reiki, sound & frequency therapy, ancestral restoration, somatic awareness, and Quantum Consciousness Facilitation. Her own journey through trauma, injury, and loss fuels her commitment to helping clients achieve alignment across their mind, body, soul, and spirit.

The Tensegrity Medicine™ Difference

Kendra's unique approach centers on Tensegrity Medicine™ - A Whole-System Approach to Healing

Tensegrity Medicine™ (TM) is a holistic approach based on the understanding that the body is an interconnected system supported by fascia, not separate parts. Working within a BioTensegrity framework, TM restores balance, adaptability, and resilience across the entire system.

Each session includes in-depth assessment and gentle, hands-on techniques that support communication between the fascial and nervous systems. By combining light-touch bodywork, neurofascial techniques, movement, energetic support, and mind–body awareness, sessions help unwind tension patterns at their root while honoring the body’s natural protective responses.

As the system settles and reorganizes, clients often experience relief from pain, improved nervous system regulation, and greater overall well-being—along with a deeper connection to their body’s innate wisdom.

Tensegrity Medicine supports the body’s natural ability to heal, creating lasting change through balance across physical, emotional, and energetic layers.

Transforming Lives, One Session at a Time

Kendra thrives when working with individuals navigating mental, emotional, or physical challenges that traditional Western medicine hasn't fully addressed. If you're seeking a path to deeper healing and lasting well-being, Kendra offers a supportive and transformative experience.
