Please read about Kristen in her own words - Coach Dean
I knew at a young age that I wanted to enter the health and wellness field. Growing up with a mother as a Registered Dietitian and a father as an Athletic Trainer and health teacher was extremely influential.
As a little girl, I loved watching my mom teach about how food could make a person feel better and tagging along with my dad on his various sporting endeavors. This all translated into a serious love for food and sports; specifically fueling the body with nutritious and enjoyable foods while finding the exercise style that keeps you motivated and challenged.
Having battled with an eating disorder in high school, I know what it’s like to feel lost and confused about eating healthy and what it right for your body. However, after making a full recovery and learning as much as possible about proper nutrition, my ultimate goal is to help you build a healthy relationship with food and learn which foods make you feel your absolute best. I do not believe in diets and will never enforce them; what I do is individualize nutrition guidelines to help you achieve your goals.
I am also deeply passionate about physical activity, and know that nutrition is only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to overall health. I grew up as a three-season athlete, and as I entered adulthood I became more interested in individual fitness and strength training. This drove my desire to pair my love for teaching nutrition with physical fitness coaching.
I am excited to be a part of the Get Fit NH team and to help you make it happen!
