With a background in corporate event planning and field marketing, Kristen has spent years crafting experiences that connect people — and now she channels that expertise into creating a welcoming, empowering space for the Right Balance Pilates community.

Her journey to Pilates began in 2023 following a life-altering cancer diagnosis during the height of the 2020 pandemic. What could have been a moment of isolation became a profound turning point. She defied every expectation, consistently surprising her oncology team by reaching milestones she was never expected to see. Pilates became a vital part of her healing — offering strength, stability, and a renewed connection to her body. What began as a personal lifeline quickly evolved into a deep passion for wellness and resilience.

Kristen completed her Mat Teacher Training in March 2025 and her Reformer Teacher Training in January 2026, deepening her understanding of Pilates and expanding the support she offers clients.

Outside the studio, she’s usually with her bossy rescue mutt, Carl — who proudly runs the show — or spending time with the friends and family who fuel her joy.
