Kristen began practicing yoga in 2006 and has facilitated yoga classes since 2014, first in Metro-Detroit and now in Leelanau and Traverse City, Michigan regions. With training and certifications in oncology yoga, mindfulness meditation, breathwork, Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), and guided forestbathing, coupled with decades-long professional experience in the fields of trauma, mental health, and resilience, Kristen specializes in supporting those who have experienced events that may impact embodiment, nervous system regulation, and connection to self and others.
Kristen offers general wellness, oncology, trauma-sensitive yoga and has first-hand knowledge regarding the physical and emotional impact cancer can have on survivors and their support network, thus creating a space of compassionate support via yoga and mindfulness meditation during all stages of cancer survivorship. TCTSY is an evidence-based adjunct treatment for complex trauma that focuses on giving participants an opportunity to practice choice-based movement that does not include physical assists. Kristen also offers guided forestbathing sessions, which are guided sensory immersions in nature.
Kristen wholeheartedly believes in the healing nature of choice-based, sensory-led movement paired with deep rest, and actively works to break down the sometimes unaddressed notion of power dynamics in yoga. We walk together; Kristen’s role is to offer knowledge, support, guide when needed, and most importantly, to listen.
