After studying theology as an undergraduate, Kirby earned her master’s degree in acupuncture and Chinese medicine in 2012, and completed her doctorate program for acupuncture and herbal medicine in 2023. Her doctoral candidacy training culminated with a completion of her thesis entitled, ‘A Practitioner’s Guide to Treating Internalized Oppression’.

She has led many workshops, classes and talks on various topics, including integrative East Asian medicine principles and practices to self-cultivate the embodied experience of freedom from the internalized oppression within.
