I was never one to ask for help, even when I needed it. I wanted to do it myself ever since I was a kid. Ask my grandma.
Throughout the years though, I’ve gotten help even when I didn’t ask for it, and realized how many new skills, perspectives, and experiences I would have missed out on. So now I seek out experts whether for a massage, business advice, investments, personal trainer, or whatever I don’t have sufficient knowledge or skill in.

You’re already ahead of the curve being here. Let’s see what new skills, perspectives, and experiences you’re not going to miss out on.

What is a Health Coach?
A health coach is not a nutritionist, a personal trainer, or a therapist. The reality is that most of us know what to do to live a healthy life, yet we are still unable to do those things. We are left with those extra pounds, insecurities, and all kinds of pain.
I will provide three things for you as a health coach: the right system, the right support, and the right accountability. We’ll uncover what’s been holding you back and draw the blueprint to get you to your goals and of course put it into action.
My Story
My name is Kristen Richardson. I was overweight as a kid, and didn't get into fitness until high school. I was never forced to exercise before, so I saw fitness as a means to get strong and get the body I wanted. I have tried all kinds of diets with different goals (Paleo, Whole 30, Low fat, Low sugar, Low carb), as well as different training programs from weight lifting to boxing to circuit training to my latest: yoga. I taught fitness and boxing classes for 6 years, so I also understand how to tailor a good workout for people at varying fitness levels.
​
What led me to health coaching was when I left my recruiting job and put all the pieces together: my passion for health, fitness, nutrition, human behavior, and helping others see their potential to be truly happy. As a health coach, I am able to communicate with people from all walks of life, equally invested in each of my client's successes and struggles.

Health really is the foundation of happiness and affects every aspect of your life. I hope to inspire you to invest in your health and bask in your own greatness. Knowledge is power, so do not feel any angst about setting up a quick call to learn how we can improve your health!
