About

Photo of the instructor

I am Krista, a versatile movement professional based in Southwest Finland. I work in the field as a part-time entrepreneur. My passion for teaching swimming and exercise coaching comes from competitive swimming, which I practised from childhood through high school at national level.

I have taught children and adults to swim for more than 12 years. I particularly enjoy teaching children the fundamentals and helping adults refine their freestyle technique. My teaching style is calm and encouraging, while still offering opportunities for those who want to challenge themselves.

In addition to swimming, I have trained group exercise classes for nearly 10 years. Individual attention, safety, an encouraging atmosphere and the joy of movement are central to my instruction.

My experience includes aquatic exercise, HIIT and lower-body and core classes, circuit training, body maintenance, stretching and mobility, pole dance, children’s floor acrobatics, introductory aerial acrobatics and aerial yoga-inspired classes.

I am happy to support one-off movement goals, but my greatest passion is helping people plan and realise even their biggest dreams. Let’s make those dreams happen!
