Kristi has held clinical faculty positions at the University of Washington and the University of Puget Sound and has been a teaching assistant for Australian educators Jenny McConnell and David Butler. She has been a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) through the The American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties since 2002.

She has completed all of the Fascial Counterstrain courses with the Jones Institute and many of the advanced courses with the Counterstrain Academy.
