Kristen Wiese is an Occupational Therapist & Clinical Specialist, providing over 25 years of experience, training & clinical observation for pediatrics, teenagers, and adults.
With the understanding that movement nourishes our nervous system, Kristen taps into the body's wisdom of feedback, response, body awareness, self-monitoring & organizational strategies to then work on mobility & higher level therapeutic goals such as fine motor, visual motor, organization, self-help skills, and cognitive, social & communication skills.
Kristen has extensive training & expertise in helping her clients learn, relearn, and modify more functional ways to reach personal goals and achieve higher levels of independence. She thrives on helping individuals find success in becoming more self-sufficient in tasks that were previously unachievable. As a skilled provider in such areas of fine motor and handwriting skills & strategies, creating home modifications & sensorimotor programs, Kristen ultimately finds avenues for kids and adults alike to help themselves through increased cognitive organization, sensory strategies, and self-monitoring skills that lead them to their own success & discharge!
Occupational Vision Therapy Program: Kristen has had the pleasure of working under the mentorship of Judy Deinema OTR to expand her services into occupational vision therapy. Integrating vision work with occupational therapy offers a comprehensive vision, motor & cognitive experience to strategically connect and/or reconnect the body, brain, and vision systems ONLINE to work together as they are meant to.
Kristen has created handwriting curriculums for various schools in the Albuquerque community, provided social skills curriculums for elementary schools aka "Sherlock the FRIENDinator" and conducted social skill groups, as well as parent education & training group sessions & workshops.
As the founder of ALIGN Therapy & KidBridge Therapy Services, Kristen brings a specific philosophy to her clients and the ALIGN Therapy Center which encompasses whole body wellness.
Kristen is obsessed with horses, yoga, jewelry making, gardening, and her friends & family!

MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE
Movement feeds the brain with important information as you work your way towards more coordinated, controlled, aligned & balanced activity. Functional movement provides feedback & body awareness as it guides you to increased core strength, stability & endurance, as well as more upper-body mobility. Using functional movement sequences & gentle stretching, you will experience how your own
medicine of movement
ALIGNS you to greater function.
FUNCTIONAL
MOTIVATION IS EVERYTHING
To Align oneself takes commitment and motivation. It is so much more fun to work hard towards something you are motivated to achieve. You will tap into what feeds your soul, such as taking up a new hobby or returning to a favorite activity. Setting big or small goals fuels motivation as we journey through our ups and downs of recovery and rehabilitation. As your motivation increases, so does your confidence and ability to maintain your wellness even after your therapy is over!
