More About Coach Kirsten
I have been a coach of various areas for the last 10+ years: soccer, running, personal training, weight loss, triathlon, and health & nutrition coaching. My passion is really for the whole person. I am a Level 2 RRCA running coach, and certified with NASM as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Personal Trainer. I'm also certified in nutrition through Precision Nutrition, Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and eCornell.
I've played in sports my whole life, but what I feel distinguishes me is not that I'm particularly accomplished, but that I've taken a fairly ordinary body that can relate to people with struggles, and have found ways to bring health, wholeness, and sustainable exercise and wellness programs.
Within a session, we first will look at two areas: Your goals and your "blocks." We discover where you would like to go (start running, begin exercising, complete a marathon, get faster, have more energy, etc) and we find out what might be blocking you from getting there. Then we build a flexible program around your life and abilities to get you there.

Client Reviews
Michelle (CoachUp client)
Coach Kirsten was so easy to talk with. She is very knowledgeable in strength and mobility and gave me some great stretches and exercises to incorporate in my daily routine. It was nice to see her approach is not one size fits all, but instead very personalized to me and where I’m at.
Trevor (CoachUp client)
My session with Coach Kristin was very helpful and I look forward to incorporating her suggestions into my training plan!
Joseph (CoachUp client)

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!!!!
