Pump N Pilates

🌸 Meet Christen! 🌸
Instructor

Christen was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California, where she developed a love for movement through sports including volleyball, soccer, track, and swimming. Her background in volleyball and strength training shaped her appreciation for strong, sustainable movement.

After completing her undergraduate studies at Santa Barbara City College and earning a Leadership degree from Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Northern California, Christen moved to Auckland, New Zealand, where she and her husband raised their three children. During that time, she worked as a volleyball coach and educator in middle and high school programs.

In 2022, Christen and her family relocated to Greenville, South Carolina. After years of high-impact activity led to recurring injuries, she was introduced to Pilates, which transformed the way she moved—restoring strength, mobility, and resilience. She also founded an e-commerce business during this time.

Christen completed the PhysicalMind Institute Comprehensive Teacher Training program at Pump N Pilates in summer 2025. She is passionate about helping others move with strength, confidence, and longevity.

Outside the studio, Christen enjoys time with her family, supporting her children’s activities, spending time with her golden retriever, drinking coffee, thrifting, staying active with her husband, and playing volleyball and pickleball.
