* Sessions held online or in-person in NYC
Mind
What is your internal dialogue like? How are you coaching yourself? We’ll uncover the origin of the mental loops you may be caught in. Your mind (neocortex) can be your biggest ally; let’s rewire those neural pathways. We’ll bring mindfulness awareness and observation of subtle body sensations, emotions, and thought processes. We’ll practice new mantras central to the life you’re ready to live.
Body
The body remembers everything — from an old injury years ago that is still causing you chronic pain to a traumatic event in the past that’s causing depression or anxiety. We’ll look at all the factors (historical, family, personal, energetic) that can cause stress on the central nervous system and overall “stuckness” in life. We’ll work on befriending your body and the “survival” part of your brain (the brain stem and limbic system).
We’ll also work on realigning posture, rehabilitating chronic injuries, and learning functional and basic movement patterns (squats, lunges, deadlifting, etc). Strength training will help you build muscle, lose weight, and feel grounded/rooted in your body. You’ll feel embodied power through martial arts and self-defense training.
Spirit
We’ll let go of old coping strategies that are no longer serving you to release stored energy, so you have more energy to thrive. You’ll learn how to navigate old patterns like a spiritual warrior. By developing a relationship to your intuition, you’ll develop self-trust and ultimately self-leadership. You’ll feel more aligned with your life force and with the abundance all around.

Working with me always starts with a 20 min phone consultation, where we get to know each other to see if we’re a good fit.
What people are saying
“My work with Kristen has helped me physically, mentally, and emotionally. She is extremely knowledgeable about the body, patient and gentle in her approach, and clear and supportive in her coaching. She has a deep understanding of the relationship between trauma, societal inequities, and physical health. I find I am able to talk to her not just about exercising, but also the emotions that exercising surfaces for me. Because of this, I've become not just more fit, but also healthier in my mindsets about working out, eating well, and taking care of myself.
I first started working with Kristen in June 2019. I was pregnant at the time, and because she is pre- and post-natal certified, she was able to help me stretch and exercise in ways that were safe and healthy. She checked in with me shortly after I delivered my baby and has continued to provide support and training as I have recovered. She has always been kind, positive, and supportive. But she also always pushes me forward. I now exercise far more often than I used to, and the consistency and intensity of my workouts has also increased dramatically.
Kristen and I used to do sessions in person. Since the pandemic began, we have been meeting remotely. These virtual sessions have become a key piece of my weekly self-care regimen. I'm extremely grateful to have found someone with Kristen's mix of experience, expertise, empathy, and wisdom. My daughter is now a year old, and I know she is already benefiting from having a healthier mother. Thank you, Kristen!”
