KRISTEN ANDERSON MA, MBSR, ICF

Performance Coach | Creator of Body Intelligence™ | Sport Leader

Performance begins in the body.

At the centre of Kristen’s work is Body Intelligence™ — a form of internal literacy—learning to understand what is happening inside us so we can regulate our nervous systems, adapt to stress, and perform with awareness rather than force.

The philosophy

When we learn body intelligence, we understand how the nervous system, hormones, and whole body awareness shape performance, resilience, and connection. And this knowledge allows us to perform at new levels.

Her work is applied across four areas.

    “Working with Kristen has been a great experience right from the beginning.  She has a way of making you feel comfortable, easy to open up to and really talk about where you are and understand how to move forward.  It’s definitely a journey, and I could not have picked a more understanding individual to guide me on that path. I am definitely seeing results. Thank you so much, Kristen”

    “I've had the pleasure of working with Kristen for the last two years to improve and maintain my physical and mental well-being. As a carpenter and entrepreneur, both physical and mental well-being are important to functioning and being the best I can be for my business; Kristen knows this and is very attentive to my needs as a client.”
