About
Hey there, I'm Krista!
And I'm so happy you have landed here on my page. I've worked in the health and wellness field for a decade and have helped so many kindred clients overcome chronic aches and pain, manage stress/overwhelm from daily life demands, and create preventative wellness practices for life long health and well being.
Maybe you feel like your body is always tight and achey. Or you notice things you used to be able to do without much thought, feel harder, like balancing on one leg or picking up heavy things for instance. Maybe you notice that you feel overwhelmed by daily life stress, experience anxiety, shallow breathing, difficulty relaxing and need a support system, to not only help you unwind your body, but also just to see you, offer mindfulness practices, and gently guide you when you are feeling overwhelmed.
If any of this sounds like you, you are in the right place. See some of the areas I specialize in below:
1) Supporting women in overcoming chronic low back pain, and lower limb dysfunction and pain. If your low back, hips, or knees prevent you from:
Sitting or standing for extended periods
Walking for extended periods
Participating in athletic activities you enjoy.
Getting up and down from the floor
Or maybe you have flares that seem to come out of nowhere from time to time, or just want to prevent injury and do everything in your power to ensure that your low back and whole body stays healthy for the long term, please reach out, there is so much we can do to get you feeling and moving at your best!
2) Supporting women who need a holistic compliment to mental health counseling and who feel like they need more clarity on their life and spiritual path. If you feel ungrounded, like you've lost your way, unsure of what you true purpose is, like you've lost your spark my Heart Roots Holistic Coaching may be just the thing for you!
3) Supporting beginners to Yoga and Strength Training.
I know it can feel overwhelming and frustrating to join a group class where:
There is very little personal attention
Feels like everything is moving too fast
Feels like you aren’t receiving any of the benefits
And you feel fearful not understanding the movements might
lead to injury!
I specialize in helping you create the building blocks of movement so that more than just knowing a few poses and movement drills, you develop the awareness of what your body can and can’t do and how to adapt movements to what your body needs, and how to progress step by step towards joining larger group classes, and other athletic adventures.
This way no matter what class you take, you will know how to
navigate it according to your unique needs.
I am a trained BackFitPro specialist, Structural Yoga Therapist and Mobility Coach, and I’ve got over a decade of experience working with
hundreds of clients. My approach is unique in that everything
we do is based on the health of your nervous system!
I love it when I see someone hit a challenge pose or move with more confidence, and less pain. Or to see someone shift their focus from rapid weight loss or a "bikini body" mindset, to creating a sustainable relationship with nutritious food, and intelligent exercise. This is something that begins inside and radiates way beyond just being "fit".
Every BODY is different, and every new challenge, talent, fear, etc. leads to inspiration and a shared creativity in finding tools that will cultivate your best expression.
I firmly believe that once you build a solid foundation, then the sky is the limit for what you are capable of doing, the innate intelligence of your
body is already there, and it's just a matter of helping you reveal it's genius.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Nasm certified personal trainer, registered yoga teacher, and Zhealth practicioner.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
It can be difficult to know whether someone is a good fit for you based solely on information online. I would recommend attending a class, workshop or booking a session with a few coaches you resonate with before making a long term commitment.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
The number one question is: How much am I willing to dedicate to improve the way I move, and feel for the long-term? I have been blessed to work with clients that truly want to take charge of their personal well being, and they make space for that transformation week after week. Life can be a sublime, and unimaginable winding road, but they are present to the best of their ability and dedicated to becoming the best versions of themselves. This dedication never ceases to amaze me and inspires me to be a better coach.
