Dr. Kristen was born and raised in South Dakota. She completed undergraduate studies at Luther College in Decorah, IA, and obtained her doctorate of physical therapy from St. Kate’s. Simply put, Dr. Kristen’s passion is to help active individuals continue to do what they love doing, with as few physical restrictions as possible.
In addition to her studies in physical therapy, Dr. Kristen has coached thousands of group fitness classes over the last decade - ranging from HIIT, barre, and even preschool dance.
A fun fact about Dr. Kristen is that she did a short stint as a pastry chef after college. However, a knee injury lead her down the path to becoming a physical therapist.
In her free time, Dr. Kristen enjoys spending time with her husband. They can be found walking around the lakes, spending time with their nephews, or at home cooking!
