Kristen is originally from California, but moved to Colorado to attend school and be closer to some of her family. Her background as a competitive gymnast and then gymnastics coach pushed her to learn more about injury prevention and management. In 2013 Kristen took an interest in CrossFit, and continues to use that as her primary activity of choice during the week. On the weekends you can find her snowboarding, skiing, doing yoga, or biking depending on the season.

As a practitioner, Kristen aspires to empower each patient with a profound understanding and control over their own body. Her unique background fuels a particular affinity for collaborating with gymnasts and CrossFit enthusiasts, enabling them to navigate their activities optimally and regain pain-free participation in their respective sports.
