Testimonials

"Within a 4 month period, I had a baby and knee surgery. I knew I needed more than my rehab regimen so my physiotherapist recommended Kearsten. We hit it off in our first session. As a trained Pilates instructor, I highly respect her knowledge and how she takes the time to dive into the mysteries of my body and is able to nail the issues right away - Kearsten is a body whisperer! I feel stronger overall than I have in a long time balancing her whole body approach while focusing on specific areas. It's also made a difference that I can bring my daughter because I don't have to make the choice between taking care of myself and taking care of her!" -Stef S., TMT Client
