Dr. Jespersen is a native of Carmel Valley. She attended San Diego State University where she received her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Athletic Training. After graduating, Kristine worked on various professional and collegiate sports teams as a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) in San Diego, Salt Lake City, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. She then earned her Master of Health Science with a Specialization in Athletic Training (MHS) in 2017 while working as an aide at Balance Physical Therapy in Monterey. Kristine then attended the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in Austin, TX, where she obtained her Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree in 2021.

Kristine has a passion for sports and grew up playing basketball, volleyball, soccer and softball. She became interested in both athletic training and physical therapy after rehabilitating her injuries suffered on the field / court in the athletic training room and physical therapy clinic. She hopes to bring that passion to the clinic and help empower people to return to their favorite hobbies and reach their goals by providing personalized care.

Outside of the clinic, Kristine likes to go hiking with her dog Bella, mountain biking, scuba diving, snowboarding and wakeboarding. She also enjoys traveling, watching sports and spending time with her friends and family.
