Kristin H.

I have been in the health, fitness, and athletic field for 8 years now, since I graduated from Merrimack College. I started my career as a Personal Trainer and Marketing Manager for a health club. I quickly found I was passionate about helping people get and stay healthy. Over the years, I earned numerous certifications in the areas of fitness, nutrition, and wellness. I wanted to educate myself on how to better help my clients achieve their goals so I enrolled in the Wellcoaches program. The Wellcoaches program is endorsed by the American College of Sports Medicine, and educated me to become an expert facilitator of mindset and behavior change that generates sustainable healthy lifestyles which prevent or treat disease, and foster well-being and thriving in life.

Health and wellness are my passion, and I have devoted eight years to working with both adults and young adults in this capacity as a personal trainer, college softball coach, and most recently nutrition specialist and life coach. Through these experiences I have gained the skills to create, manage, and implement programs designed to educate and engage others in choosing and implementing an active and healthy lifestyle.

During my time as a softball coach at Merrimack College, I found I am truly passionate about working with young adults. I deeply valued the opportunities to influence both the moral and character development of students and athletes while helping them become better athletes and improve their fitness.

Wellcoaches Certified Health and Wellness Coach

I played Division 2 College Softball for Merrimack College. I was a middle infielder and a leadoff hitter. I was a two year captain and spent 3 years as an assistant coach after graduating.

After years of working with athletes, I saw too much focus in the wrong places. I noticed clients focusing all their efforts and energy in a single dimension of wellness, and they were not seeing results. Wellness has many dimensions and if they are not all cared for, overall wellbeing is not going to be seen. Each dimension affects all the others. My approach to wellness is one that looks at how all areas of your life are connected along with a personalized approach based on your needs and goals.

I split time between the Lake Winnipeseake region as well as the Greater Boston area and central Mass/Nashua NH area. I am available to coach around any of those locations.
