Hello! My name is Kristen and I am a cycling & wellness coach based in Bend, Oregon.

A recent transplant to Bend, I am currently working virtually with athletes nationwide. I’ve been in the sport of endurance cycling for almost 25 years now, starting as a novice athlete and working my way to the pro ranks of cross-country mountain biking. As a coach, I was initially focused mainly on numbers, metrics, and performance, but as time goes on (and the stress/responsibilities of life add up), I believe the key to long-term athletic success lies in aligning performance goals with overall health and wellness. My coaching plans are tailored to your cycling goals and scheduling needs, and I work best with time-crunched adults who are looking to optimize training time and maximize results. During my 10 years of personal coaching experience, I have guided numerous athletes to reach their goals and would love to help you do the same.
