Kristin is a dancer, choreographer, and longtime Alexander Technique student. She began studying the technique at age 12 with Stuyvie Eagle, and became increasingly interested in how the Technique could help her perform and teach ballet in ways that promote efficient movement and career longevity. She has since come to appreciate the comprehensive, psycho-physical nature of Alexander Technique; it can help students clarify their thinking, develop emotional resilience, and reduce anxiety.

Kristin completed her Alexander Technique teaching certification with Alexander Technique Urbana under the direction of Rose Bronec, and has also trained with senior teachers Joan and Alex Murray and Luc Vanier. She has completed the Developing Self Education Training Course for Alexander teachers in primary and secondary education, under the direction of Judith Kleinman from the Royal College of Music and Sue Merry from Educare Small School in the U.K.

Kristin teaches private lessons and group workshops in Iowa City. Her students have included dancers, writers, musicians, and horseback riders. She is also a Lecturer in Ballet at the University of Iowa Department of Dance, where she teaches a group introductory Alexander Technique course.
