After becoming a physician and practicing medicine in Australia, Dr. Kristal Lau got her MS degree in Public Health when she moved to the USA with her husband on his military orders. Kristal grew up in Malaysia, where it’s common for people to use modern medicine alongside traditional medicine. She frequently applies this concept when managing her patients and their families — as long as the medical treatments and traditional or home remedies don’t clash and cause harm. She believes that the future of health lies in combining our past and present knowledge about healing to meet the needs of our constantly evolving society as we move forward. Now, Kristal runs a small business, called 'Mama's Wing Woman', offering postpartum coaching and support to new moms and their growing families. She and her husband have two children. Kristal practiced confinement after her first child with her mom as her confinement person. She’s since completed her second confinement practice with her husband as her support person.
