Rising Stars: Meet Kristen Stensland of Boulder County

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristen Stensland

Hi Kristen, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Kristen Stensland is the founder and owner of Health & Motion LLC. Growing up in a very health conscious household, playing sports starting at a young age, and having a great compassion for people all contributed to her desire and inspiration for starting her company. Kristen became passionate about wellness and finding an achievable rhythm of maintaining a healthy lifestyle which drove her to dive deep into education and business in this field so she, in turn, could teach others how to pursue and accomplish their health goals. After earning a B.S. in Psychology, she continued her education by earning a degree in nutrition at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and her Personal Training certification through ACE. In addition, she completed many other certifications and specialized programs in fitness and nutrition to further her education and expertise in these areas. Kristen spent eight years working with a Naturopathic doctor and family nurse practitioner, meeting with individual patients and designing personalized lifestyle and nutrition strategies to help them achieve their health goals. Coaching group fitness, training one-on-one clients and doing makeup for weddings, photoshoots and fashion shows became such a passion for Kristen that she wanted to focus on developing a brand that specialized in providing a variety of services to help women feel their absolute best! 

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey to establishing Health & Motion LLC has been a process of fine tuning along the way. Kristen has worked with many different demographics of clients, different locations and doing a variety of things in the wellness space. It became clear that her biggest passion was to focus on working with women to help guide them through the process of establishing a lifestyle that truly works for them. Helping women navigate the very confusing misinformation in the health and wellness space, but also coaching and providing specific strategies and guidelines for each individual client to follow to help them succeed.
