Testimonials

“I came to Kristina after trying chiropractic, acupuncture and at least 5 physical therapists. But their goal seemed to be to mitigate pain, not solve the underlying problem. For years they had been squinting and guessing at what might be the problem with my shoulder. Within minutes, Kristina had put me through a couple exercises and had isolated the issue. I could see right away that she had both an intuitive and technical knowledge of the human body. I’m so relieved to finally be in sure hands.

I won’t lie, it has not been an easy road. I came to Kristina with years of injury and misuse exacerbated by weight lifting. But I stopped guessing and I started getting steady results. Now, about six months later, our slow and methodical base work is really beginning to bear fruit. Yes, I’m in better shape. But I can’t express how much better my body just works.”

“Too many people approach bendiness from a static stretching perspective and all it does is leave you stiff and achy. Kristina thoroughly warmed up our bodies and guided us through a full body bending session that left me feeling fluidly mobile and gooey. Her cues are golden and I she definitely has the power to make anyone feel like a rockstar bender.

Kristina has a magical way of presenting information. I have heard the “Shoulder Girdle Speech” a hundred times by a hundred different people and it never clicked so deeply as it did when she guided us through exercises in between lecture. I was able to make many new connections due to the unique content she presented and I could see so many light bulbs going off in my students heads. I’m so thankful to have taken this workshop from Kristina and excited for the possibilities that this level of information will open up.”

“I have been working with Kristina weekly for upwards of a year now, with a particular focus on strength and mobility as they pertain to endurance running. After struggling with muscle imbalances and injuries for a long time, it’s my pleasure to be able to write a testimonial for the person responsible for getting me off that track, and well towards proper biomechanics, strength and athletic performance.

Kristina is, effectively, a physical therapist, podiatrist, personal trainer, Pilates and yoga instructor all wrapped into one. I’ve worked with upwards of a dozen well-qualified trainers and injury professionals around the world over the years, and Kristina’s attention to detail, knowledge of biomechanics, eye for correct form, and personal involvement in an athlete’s improvement have been second to none.

Working with Kristina via Skype has been remarkably effective; I’m always amazed at what tiny muscle twitches and subtle form errors she can spot over video. While I look forward to getting some studio time in with her in the future, working with Kristina over Skype is time very well spent.

Kristina is a true “biomechanics nerd”, always passing along helpful resources to me, and is humble enough to spend her own time researching the odd aches and pains I get and coming back with solutions unique to my training regimen.

I consider working with Kristina to be an essential requirement for any endurance athlete interested in staying proactive about injury prevention and increasing their economy of motion.

Apart from her knowledge and coaching ability, Kristina is a pleasant, easy-going, supportive, and enthusiastic person to spend time with.”

“In early 2014 I was preparing for my first pole competition. I was 52 and felt that I needed to be more flexible for the competition, so I started having private lessons with Kristina. She is very knowledgeable. She taught me the right way to stretch and how a strong muscle is important for flexibility. Her way of teaching is gentle but effective. I can see the improvements and never felt it was a torture to do flexibility training.

It’s been more then two years training with Kristina. I’m looking forward to continue the fit and bendy journey with her for a very long time.”
