Coaching Testimonials
“Kristin is the coach I’d choose over and over. I started working with her when I decided to run my first ever marathon and she coached me to not only finish (and to enjoy it) but to beat the time I thought I was capable of. Since then, she’s coached me to reach my first two starts on my 6-star World Major Marathon journey, and a season of two marathons within 8 weeks of one another. She’s been there to answer every question and adjust my plan to fit the craziness that is life. Her fully personal approach keeps training fun and effective, and her belief in you keeps you coming back and setting new goals!”
— Mason J., 4-time marathoner
“Kristin has been my coach since 2021 for several Ironmans and half Ironmans, and most recently the Great Wall Marathon. No matter what I throw at her: a change of schedule, a change of races, injuries, nutrition issues… she always gets me to the start line prepared and fit. Kristin adapts the training and time commitment to work with my life, while keeping it challenging and goal-oriented. She’s the best!”
— Lisa C., Ironman finisher on every continent, IM World Championships finisher, multiple time marathoner
“I had big dreams but no idea how to achieve them, and I lacked the confidence to go for it. I knew I needed help to stop dreaming and start doing. Working with Kristin has completely transformed my running, as well as the way I see myself. I have gained so much more than just someone to write workouts for me. Kristin has taught me so much about how to train, how to take myself to the next level, how to adapt when life gets in the way, AND how to stay healthy while doing it. Another invaluable piece to partnership is the support. Everything from being my cheerleader for a goal achieved to encouragement when there are setbacks to friendly reminders to keep going! I honestly don’t know how she does it but she always seems to know exactly what I need to hear. This is truly the best most valuable thing I’ve ever done for myself!”
— Lesley H., 2-time marathoner
"Kristin is an amazing coach. When I first began training with her I had very little knowledge or experience running. Kristin has developed training programs to incorporate not only long runs but interval training and hill workouts to improve my speed, strength, and endurance. She not only helps with my running routines but provides guidance in other areas to ensure that I stay healthy and free from injury. She has pushed me beyond my comfort zone many times and will continue to do so in the future as my goals change. I am certain that without her guidance I would not have been as successful in training for and competing in several trail and road races."
— Renae S., half marathoner and trail lover who ran/hiked Grand Canyon’s Rim to Rim solo
"Before Kristin, I would gather running plans from the internet and patch them together, always second guessing. I had big dreams and couldn't quite figure out the path to get there. Kristin took the time to listen to me, hear my goals, see where I was at, and put a plan together specifically for me. She has pushed me harder than I ever thought I could handle. She has been there to discuss bad runs and frustrations, always willing to rework the plan when needed. She helped me realize and develop my mental training, which was a HUGE area where I was lacking and I'm not sure I could have gotten that piece on my own. Above all, however, she has become one of my biggest cheerleaders. She is truly invested in me, cares about me, and has my back. It is evident in every conversation. Under her training I seized many PRs and the Boston dream, and we are now working together to chase more goals that I once thought were not possible."

Massage Testimonials
"Kristin is an incredible massage therapist. She has definitely helped keep me running healthy and injury-free. I especially appreciate her ability to listen to my concerns and find and address problems as she is very thorough, a great listener, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend her, and I always leave my massage knowing that I can tackle my next round of training with confidence thanks to her great work!"

"Kristin is downright awesome and her work is exceptional. I started coming to see her almost a year ago, and am so glad I started my weekly sessions with her. I have trained hard, remained injury free, and have felt great in the process due to her ability to adapt sessions by working the areas that need attention. The body is complex, and I am glad to have Kristin on my team keeping everything in check. I love having this weekly session to look forward to; it's a big highlight of my week!"

She has a real talent for body work and a rare approach that works well for both sports recovery as well as the mental stresses of daily life. I'm grateful -- thank you, Kristin!"
