ABOUT

Kari-Ann Hubbard graduated with a Master’s degree in 2010 from the Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture. She has pursued extensive post-graduate education in women’s health, fertility, perinatal and postpartum care, and palliative cancer care. A Fellow of the Acupuncture and TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine, she is an active member of the Maternity Acupuncture Mentorship and Peer Support (MAMPs) group and supports Arizona-based non-profits like Willow Wish and 4th Trimester AZ, reflecting her deep passion for maternal and postpartum health.

Her journey into mind-body medicine began at 11 when she was diagnosed with IBS, a condition that left her feeling isolated until she explored the emotional and lifestyle triggers influencing her symptoms. Through personal healing and profound life experiences, including loss and grief, Kari-Ann realized the importance of emotional wellness and the interconnectedness of mind and body. This inspired her to pursue a career in acupuncture and herbology to help others activate their natural healing capabilities through holistic care.

Based in Chandler, AZ, since 2012, Kari-Ann balances her practice with family life, raising three boys with her husband. She emphasizes the importance of self-care as a foundation for mental and physical health. In her free time, she enjoys dancing, reading, and soaking up sunshine, ideally by the ocean, drawing from her childhood in Miami surrounded by a large, nurturing family.
