Also certified in BLS/CPR — American Heart Association.

Kristin is currently completing comprehensive certification through Polestar Pilates, with a focus on movement assessment, injury prevention, and rehabilitation principles. Polestar's method comes out of physical therapy and is built around assessment rather than a set repertoire — which shapes how she teaches across every client, not only those arriving with an injury history.

Additional certifications and current teaching history available on request.

Approach

Assessment-led, not routine-led.

Sessions are built from what a client's body is actually doing on the day. That matters most with the clients who take the most care: someone six weeks post-surgery, someone with a decade-old injury they've quietly worked around, someone whose left side has never come back.

It also means she's comfortable being handed a client another instructor is unsure about.

Populations

Experienced with

Post-rehabilitation clients transitioning out of physical therapy and into ongoing movement.
Clients with prior injuries or known weaknesses.
Athletes addressing a specific limitation.
