Dr. Kristin Barnes is a Primary Care Naturopathic Physician and Acupuncture provider at Rebel Med NW. Dr. Barnes additionally specializes in Physical Medicine, Athletic Performance, Nutrition, IV Nutrient Therapy, Digestive health conditions, and the integration of mental health through mind body medicine. During her time in school she was able to get hands on apprentice training with Dr. Andrew Simon, Dr. Jessica Schule,  & Dr. Phonexay Lala Simon for acupuncture mentorship over the past few years at Rebel Med NW while the clinic was voted Seattle Met Top Doctor by Seattle Met Magazine.

After fulfilling her naval service, Dr. Barnes decided that she wanted to serve in a different way. She found so much benefit doing acupuncture and alternative forms of medicine while she was healing from injuries during her Iron Man races. Her experience with natural therapies inspired her to go back to school and earn her degrees in both Naturopathic Medicine and Acupuncture. Dr. Barnes has a passion for eventually taking the experience and knowledge she gains in the medical realm and providing affordable healthcare to the veterans community.

Dr. Kristin Barnes believes in empowering her patients with both the education and the diverse treatment options  they need to allow them to take charge of their health. She views the patient as the most important person of the medical team and will be there to support her patients throughout their journey with the full support of our team at Rebel Med NW. Coming from a health background in Nutrition, Dr. Barnes uses the latest evidence-based and functional medicine approaches to inform how she manages a case. She then provides a unique blend of behavioral medicine and counseling in helping support her patients succeed in their wellness goals.
