If you’re considering taking Pilates, definitely get in touch with Kirsten! She’s amazing - I can’t say enough great things about working with her. She is extremely knowledgeable about the body and its movement, and can incorporate help for any issues you may be facing into every session. Not only do I recommend starting sessions with Kirsten, I suggest sticking with them, as it only gets better with time!
My sessions with Kirsten were really fun and helpful! I started seeing her to rebuild strength after a knee injury took me away from working out for a while, and also to work on integrating my core and pelvic floor. My PT had recommended I work with Kirsten, and it was great. I always enjoyed visiting with her, and felt that my body was getting exactly what it needed from our sessions. Her space is great, and she is lovely!
I recently returned to strength training/lifting weights in a gym environment, and I could really feel that the work with Kirsten had set me up with a great foundation (my trainer felt the same way and really noticed the foundational and integrative work I had done!).
Kirsten has been a real angel in my life. She is a master at her craft and is incredible at building a program that is both approachable and challenging. My relationship with my body has totally changed since working with her. I'm sitting up straighter in my chair right now hearing her voice in my head. To top it all off, she's a lot of fun. Highly recommend!
Doing Pilates with Kirsten helped me so much while pregnant and postpartum! I can’t say enough good things. I would leave her session with my body feeling so much more relaxed and mobile. I truly believe the movements we did each week helped me immensely during labor, delivery, and recovery afterwards. I had never done Pilates before and the benefits were incredible!! Kirsten is also super kind and fun to be around, an added plus to all the benefits Pilates provides!!
Kirsten was so helpful to me in building strength and body awareness in general and in helping me address upper back pain. She has a keen awareness of body mechanics and was quick to noticed subtle shifts in my alignment. She draws from a variety of experience and knowledge and always had suggestions for any other pain I happened to be noticing that week. I highly recommend her to anyone who is wanting to strengthen in a safe, integrative manner.
