Returning back to Vancouver, Kristen furthered her studies and became a BCRPA certified Pilates instructor as well as Pre/Post natal fitness specialist. In 2010, Kristen began teaching Barre classes in Vancouver as one of the first instructors at a well established studio and fell in love with the workout!
