History of The JADE DOOR 

I founded The Jade Door in 2017 as part of my continued dedication to the Feminine Mysteries and Embodied Spirituality.  The mission of the Jade Door is to share holistic and cutting-edge knowledge for restoring the inner feminine and offer embodied practices for healing, personal discovery, and sexual sovereignty internationally.

Some of My Story

My first spiritual teachers in this life were my parents and the many gurus that surrounded us during my childhood. My parents were child immigrant refugees of World War II who grew up to be ambitious entrepreneurs as well as spiritual creatives.

Our lineage is that of scientists, artists and mystics and I was surrounded by this from the beginning. I am so grateful to my parents for the front row seat at the evolution of humanity! The living transmissions I received in this life are too many to name and I bow in gratitude for each and every one— from memories in utero of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to living at the Eselen Institute as a child, to dinner conversations with the founding members of Institute of Noetic Sciences—for which my father was a part, my early childhood was blessed with so many rich and strong experiences.

During my teenage years, I spent a lot of time in Woods Hole, Massachusetts where my grandfather was chairman of the board of the MBL which at the time was a mecca of Nobel Prize winning scientists and inventors. No matter where we lived (we moved often), dinner conversations withcountless cultural creatives such as Edgar Mitchel, Lynn Margulis, Ron Kurtz were daily occurrences.  And, camping trips with family friends might include qigong rituals with Dashi Kocica, brief body-work sessions from a Rolfer, or stories and jokes about Osho and Stanislov Grof around the campfire.

But my greatest teacher has been witnessing my mother’s shadow journey through all of this light! My mother was beaten and raped by a stranger when I was 2 years old and the traumatic brain injury she suffered that day was the root cause of her forthcoming mental illness and early onset dementia. By the time I turned 8 my mother was suffering tremendously and it wreaked havoc, confusion and dismay on our family. As a woman, witnessing my mother’s story - her rape, the way she was treated as she tried to heal, the failure of modern medicine to be able to support her, and her personal spiritual determination amongst her suffering - has kept me on my toes and acutely aware of what we as humanity have been keeping in the shadows and the price we pay because of it.

Witnessing these shortcomings of society set me on a path of healing both personally and professionally.

During my college years I lived in New York City. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a self-designed degree in Embodied Citizenship.  My curriculum included studying and practicing ancient Daoism, Yoga, Tantra and Buddhism all while working at the United Nations, teaching embodiment practices to immigrant children and writing about the importance of embodiment practices in the modern era of globalization and technology. During that time I completed Hatha Yoga Teacher Training at Om Yoga and started to teach Hatha/Vinyasa Yoga, Pranayama and meditation.

In 2008 I moved with my partner of eleven years, Olin Christy, to Santa Fe, New Mexico where I began life as a high desert homesteader, farmer and private practice healer.  I attended the Santa Fe School of Massage and mentored with many astounding senior healers in the Santa Fe community.  I studied Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Arvigo Therapy, Holistic Pelvic Care, Structural Integration, and Contemporary Shamanic Healing—all while continuing my devotion to, practices and teaching of Daoist, Yogic and Tantric Arts.

Over the years of private practice healing work, I focused more and more on women’s health based on the needs of my community and my own passion for lost, ancient, holistic and cutting edge knowledge.It was in this context, over the years of 2008 to 2014 that my relationship to the jade egg took on a life of it’s own—it became my primary teacher, a magical talisman, a connection to an inner transmission of my soul and a synthesizer for all my studies, passions and devotions.

Through a series of events in 2016 I found myself teaching the Jade Door practices to an international group of women at a womens temple in India. From there followed invitations to work all over the world. Almost overnight, I went from living a quite, rooted and married homesteading life in Northern New Mexico to international work and teachings.

And so The Jade Door came to be with it’s mission and devotion to share ancient, holistic and cutting-edge knowledge, practices and rituals for restoring the inner feminine and to offer embodied practices for healing, personal discovery, and sexual sovereignty internationally. I had so many beautiful experiences being of service all over the world—from offering private healing work to Egyptian women survivors of genital mutilation, to collaborating on creating online jade door programs in Europe. Alas in March of 2020 while traveling and teaching I contracted Covid-19 and became very ill. I have been unable to teach since.

It is the summer of 2025 as I write this and I am excited to announce that I am stabilizing quite well and hope to make offerings again in 2026! I have learned and deepened so much during this time and I sincerely look forward to working again soon. To clear up any confusion about my name, I was born Kim Sierra Robinson and I began using my middle name, Sierra, as my primary name in June of 2020. This explains why most of the testimonials on this site refer to me as Kim. Please stay tuned, sign up for the email list here and follow me on social if you so choose :-).
