She has also completed courses in K-taping™, advanced shoulder rehabilitation and has achieved her certification in Gunn Intramuscular stimulation (IMS) as well as acupuncture certification through the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute.

Kristen enjoys treating athletes from a wide range of sports, such as lacrosse, soccer, hockey, basketball, dancing, gymnastics, field hockey and running.
Kristen’s treatment philosophy is to maintain a balance of fun, variety and patient-focused goals in rehabilitation. Using a blend of manual therapy, needling and personalized exercises, Kristen helps her clients to optimize their performance and get back to their desired activities quickly. She is well-liked by her patients, who appreciate her thoroughness, easygoing approach and quick sense of humour.
Kristen grew up in Burnaby but moved to the Tri-cities in 2009 after falling in love with the beauty and proximity of the trails, lakes and mountains here. She lives in Port Coquitlam with her husband and two busy young girls that keep her on her toes. In her spare time, Kristen enjoys cooking and baking, knitting (and generally being pretty crafty), and staying active by doing yoga, hiking and spinning!
