You Are Far More Powerful Than You Know!

I love these stories below because they represent a sampling of people who have discovered health, life, freedom, and breakthrough. And that breakthrough is available to everyone, including you. I firmly believe that we are made to thrive, not to just survive. And there is an approach to helping you step into that freedom.

I was really skeptical

This process is absolutely amazing. My sister tried this and had a fantastic experience and convinced me to try it. I am not typically one who buys into this type of treatment and was likely one of the most skeptical clients initially. However, I was committed to giving it an honest attempt. I so appreciate that I did. I had a few incredible breakthroughs after minimal success with talk therapy and medications for decades. I am so bought in that I have been recommending this to everyone I can.

If you are interested in this, do it. If you are on the fence, do it. You will be far better off for it.

I feel better equipped to manage processing my emotions as they come up instead of feeling overwhelmed by them.

I can't recommend Kirsten highly enough!

As a busy working mom of 3 kids 3 and under, I was struggling to find balance with my weight, nutrition, exercise, energy, self-care, stress and overwhelm - especially during the pandemic.

I initially chose to work with Kirsten for nutrition counseling, and at the time didn't realize how my problems were interconnected, and how her holistic approach could help me address underlying root causes, to heal and transform all areas of my life. From the beginning she truly listened and assessed my situation with fun, creative tools, to help ground me in my "why" and think outside the box about setting visionary goals. From there, each week she helped me develop small, easy, practical, customized habitual lifestyle changes, which ultimately amounted to a true paradigm shift.

I already considered myself pretty healthy and enjoyed occasional running, but suffered from hip/knee/pregnancy-related injuries, and thought that maybe I should transition to a lower-impact sport. But over 8 months, she supported me from injury assessment, to physical therapy, to strength training, to running coaching -- so that I just completed my first half marathon in 10 years, injury-free!

My husband and I both lost 15-20 pounds without even trying; I'm the strongest I've ever been; and best of all -- I'm confident that I have the skills and perspective to maintain this lifestyle moving forward . I'm excited to continue working with her as a running coach as I set my sights on more goals, and know she'll support me if other emotional challenges arise. Thank you, Kirsten -- I didn't even know how much I needed your support, but you truly are a lifesaver!

“I had dealt with prolonged trauma that was somewhat paralyzing. My thought processes felt distracted. While working with Coach Kirsten I felt tenderness near underarm/back shoulder blade area. A few days later I was unexpectedly confronted with the original hostile cause of the trauma and was not so affected. I was able to laugh out loud real-time, and leave work peacefully clearheaded. Thank you Coach Kirsten!

Emotional Freedom

I started working with Kirsten Larsen about three months ago as a health coach. She has totally revolutionized the way I eat and drink. I have never eaten so well in my life which is what I was hoping for. I am cooking my own food now which I never did before and I am eating more vegetables and fruit and fish and feeling so much better, not to mention I am losing weight. I also used to drink only one glass of water a day and now I am drinking my eight glasses of water a day —a miracle. I am feeling more energy all the time. Coach K also helped me with some inner healing. She helped me to realize some lies I was believing about myself going back into my life history. This released much depression and tears. This was a great relief. She is a great confidant. I highly recommend working with Coach K. I went to her because no book has ever been able to help me before. I could never seem to eat right or get a personal exercise program going. Kirsten helped me with both. her personal touch and accessibility and encouragement got through to me in a way that no book could. I recommend her very highly.

Kirsten has saved my running. As an avid runner for over a decade, I have been riddled with injury for the last several years. I am in my 50's and just figured it was time for me to give it up. At the recommendation of a friend, I researched running coaches and found Kirsten. She really listened to me and she understood my sincere desire to continue running. We started from ground zero to build a solid foundation....something I had never done. When I began with Kirsten back in November of 2019, I couldn't run without pain and had been sidelined for 5 months. I am now training for another 1/2 marathon and am putting in miles that I haven't been able to do for over 3 years! I am stronger than ever! My long runs are now up to 2 hours! She has helped with not only my running but with nutrition as well. I always felt that I was a clean eater but she has really helped to refine my diet which in turn has helped my overall health and translated beautifully into my running routine, helping to rid my body of inflammation. I am so grateful to have found Kirsten......she is the BEST BEST BEST!! I am sooooo happy! Thank you Kirsten!!!!

I will forever be grateful for Kirsten!

I worked with Coach Kirsten for about 15 months. I was a beginner runner that had been going it on my own for a while, but I wasn’t making much progress and had several injury issues with my back and reoccurring shin splits.

Within a few months of starting I had started balancing out strength deficiencies and was learning that a lot of my issues were from not properly strengthening my body and a lack of flexibility. In May 2021 I ran the Bolder Boulder, which was an awesome experience. By September I ran in a 10K trail run and didn’t feel like I was going to die after running all those hills!

By November I had lost 35 pounds and was in probably the best shape of my adult life. On top of my running 2021 was probably the hardest year of my life personally. Kirsten taught me some life skills that saved me when I was at the end of my rope.

I am still using journal dumping and tapping to help me with whatever is trying to take over my brain. I will forever be grateful for Kirsten helping me both physically and mentally. I am able now to take was she taught me and apply it to my life. Live well and run free!

Holistic Health & Running Coaching

I just wanted to say thank you because even today I was thinking about different things that I have taken away from my time with you. I feel so much more intuitive about my body and a lot of my habits today have become about loving myself well rather than reverting to kind of self defeating attitudes or views about health that’s unkind to myself. Overall, especially the last couple of months have been a true journey of loving my body and being thankful for how it serves me and it has made everything so much easier from nutrition to working out! All of those things I genuinely enjoy now!! Haha. All that to say is that I took away some amazing and valuable things from my time with you and I am so thankful how much my view on health has changed and how it has been adapted into my life!

I think Kirsten is the best and for me the combination of her knowledge, focus of freedom and yet not being dogmatic about health approaches has helped me to have insight and space to explore and investigate what will help me personally to achieve my health goals.
