Kirsten Larsen

Cassie G. (Testimonial)

I can't recommend Kirsten highly enough! As a busy working mom of 3 kids 3 and under, I was struggling to find balance with my weight, nutrition, exercise, energy, self-care, stress and overwhelm - especially during the pandemic. I initially chose to work with Kirsten for nutrition counseling, and at the time didn't realize how my problems were interconnected, and how her holistic approach could help me address underlying root causes, to heal and transform all areas of my life. From the beginning she truly listened and assessed my situation with fun, creative tools, to help ground me in my "why" and think outside the box about setting visionary goals. From there, each week she helped me develop small, easy, practical, customized habitual lifestyle changes, which ultimately amounted to a true paradigm shift. I already considered myself pretty healthy and enjoyed occasional running, but suffered from hip/knee/pregnancy-related injuries, and thought that maybe I should transition to a lower-impact sport. But over 8 months, she supported me from injury assessment, to physical therapy, to strength training, to running coaching -- so that I just completed my first half marathon in 10 years, injury-free! My husband and I both lost 15-20 pounds without even trying; I'm the strongest I've ever been; and best of all -- I'm confident that I have the skills and perspective to maintain this lifestyle moving forward. I'm excited to continue working with her as a running coach as I set my sights on more goals, and know she'll support me if other emotional challenges arise. Thank you, Kirsten -- I didn't even know how much I needed your support, but you truly are a lifesaver!

H.W. (Testimonial)

Kirsten has saved my running. As an avid runner for over a decade, I have been riddled with injury for the last several years. I am in my 50's and just figured it was time for me to give it up. At the recommendation of a friend, I researched running coaches and found Kirsten. She really listened to me and she understood my sincere desire to continue running. We started from ground zero to build a solid foundation....something I had never done. When I began with Kirsten back in November of 2019, I couldn't run without pain and had been sidelined for 5 months. I am now training for another 1/2 marathon and am putting in miles that I haven't been able to do for over 3 years! I am stronger than ever! My long runs are now up to 2 hours! She has helped with not only my running but with nutrition as well. I always felt that I was a clean eater but she has really helped to refine my diet which in turn has helped my overall health and translated beautifully into my running routine, helping to rid my body of inflammation. I am so grateful to have found Kirsten......she is the BEST BEST BEST!! I am sooooo happy! Thank you Kirsten!!!!
