About Kristen

Hi, I'm Kristen!
I live in Tri-Cities, Washington, with my husband, Alex. We've been married for nearly 22 years and are raising five awesome kids, ranging in age from 8 to 17. Between family life, coaching, and running my business, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to balance health with the demands of everyday life.

My journey into health and wellness has been a lifelong one. I graduated from BYU in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in Marriage, Family, and Human Development and a minor in Nutrition. Years later, my own health challenges sparked a deeper desire to understand how nutrition, exercise, and healthy habits could support overall well-being. That curiosity led me back to school in 2021, where I earned my Master of Science in Exercise Science, Nutrition, and Wellness from Liberty University. In 2025, I became a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, adding to my certifications as a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach.

Over the years, I've learned that health isn't about finding a quick fix—it's about building habits that support you for the long haul. While fitness and nutrition haven't solved every obstacle I've faced, they have made me stronger, more resilient, and improved my quality of life. That experience fuels my passion for helping others discover what they're capable of, no matter where they're starting.

When I'm not coaching clients, you'll usually find me at my local CrossFit gym—training, coaching classes, or working one-on-one with personal training clients. I love helping people become stronger, create sustainable habits, and build confidence in what their bodies can do. Whether someone is walking into a gym for the first time or chasing a new personal record, I believe everyone deserves coaching that is encouraging, personalized, and rooted in long-term success.

My goal isn't just to help you reach a number on the scale or hit a new personal record. It's to help you create healthy habits that fit your real life so you can feel stronger, healthier, and more confident for years to come.

Outside the gym, I enjoy running, playing the piano and organ, cross-stitching, and spending time with my family. If you're ready to build healthy habits, grow stronger, and discover what you're capable of, I'd be honored to be part of your journey.
