In her spare time, you will always find Kristine in the mountains enjoying activities with her husband such as ski racing, downhill mountain biking, and running.
Kristine's belief is, "A healthy body needs help. Achieving balance starts with relief & correction of symptoms, then strengthening of muscles followed by maintenance for overall health."
Jobs, family, lifestyle, the food we eat, & the doctors we see, they all play an important roles in how our bodies function.
As a person who is very active and has been through injury, disease, and loss, she realizes the importance of taking care of yourself. She turned to Osteopathy and Massage for the benefits they provide inside and out.
Kristine became a Manual Osteopath and Registered Massage Therapist to help others feel the best they can, to provide the physical, mental & emotional therapeutic benefits that Osteopathy & Massage therapy offer.
As a DOMP & RMT she is here to help!
