Holistic Health & Mindfulness Coaching

Prior to working with Christianne, I truly felt stuck. I had been unsatisfied with certain aspects of my life and health, but I couldn’t figure out how to motivate myself to start to change things.

Christianne has changed my life. She believed in me from the start and helped me to carefully and thoughtfully chip away at my goals in a way that felt manageable and not overwhelming. She helped me explore what I really want out of life, and to define my values, so that I can live a life more in alignment with them. She helped me to completely change my relationship with food and exercise. I have lost weight and feel lighter, both physically and mentally. She helped me to let go of perfectionism and resentment that have been holding me back in life. She inspired me with great quotes, book recommendations and mindfulness exercises.

If you want to make positive changes in your life, I give a full-hearted and enthusiastic recommendation to working with Christianne. She is compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable. She will change your life too!

Before working with Christianne, I moved from one “weight loss,” “self-help” or “mindfulness” activity to the next. Always trying to go from 0 to 60 on day 1 and by day 10 being exhausted, down on myself OR binge eating. Christiannes’ openness, knowledge, grace, and love have guided me towards self-love. Daily affirmations and reminders that “action over perfection” have truly empowered me to find what fills my cup and sparks joy in my daily routine. I have now been able to be consistent for the first time and give myself grace on days where I may not meet that fitness or meditation goal, but I did something else by listening to my body.

What I loved most about working with Christi, is her ability to take her western nursing medical background, coupled with her health coaching experience to look at the whole picture and tailor this experience to exactly what you need. Christianne has not only guided me towards medical avenues to attempt to cure chronic sickness, but she also empowered me to take care of myself (mentally as well) and see my own resilience and self-worth. I gained a newfound look on medicine and that there is more to each of our puzzles than our PCP has time for. I have learned the benefits of meditation and daily affirmations, as well as, how to live my life between the waves for me.

Christianne would be my recommendation to anyone that struggles with listening to that negative self-talk and needs guidance on how to start with true self-care, healing from within and connecting the dots of what’s going on in your life. She will always give you ALL her attention and guide you to exactly where you need and want to be. Her willingness to listen and natural gift of knowing what to say is astonishing to her clients. P.S. she has the best meditation voice and guidance J There is no one else I would have rather ignited my wellness journey to help heal.

"My time working with Christianne was not only beneficial to my overall well-being but I learned so much from her. Previous to our time together I struggled with daily nausea and high levels of stress and not many healthy and productive ways to manage that stress. Christianne opened me up to being more mindful and showed me how I could easily incorporate a practice of meditation and mindfulness into my daily routine. It is something I now look forward to. The small changes she helped me implement into my day lead to more changes with my diet and my motivation to be healthy and prioritize ME. I’m more motivated to cook for myself and pay attention to the foods I’m eating. She recommended great resources to explore on the many topics we discussed. Christianne was a pleasure to work with listening without judgment and very easy to talk to. She truly cares about the people she’s working with. I would recommend working with her to anyone who is looking to make changes in their life to better themselves.

When I started working with Christianne, I was at an emotional low point after 1.5 years of dealing with chronic health issues. I had seen so many doctors and had tried essentially every treatment, diet, and supplement possible with little to no improvement, and in some cases, worsening of symptoms. I was starting to feel very depressed and was losing my optimism about gaining my health back. This mental/emotional piece was starting to feel very heavy and was really starting to scare me. I believe that it was starting to have a physical toll on my body as well. The first time I talked to Christianne, it felt like a literal weight was lifted from my shoulders. Most doctors I've talked to don't understand (or care to understand) the health experience I have had over the past 1.5 years, but Christianne was so knowledgeable about my myriad symptoms. Not only did she offer insight and reasoning that no one else had from a medical standpoint, she showed genuine care for what I had been through and was incredibly validating. Talking with Christianne became a highlight in my week and something I really looked forward to, which, if you've met her, you will understand. She is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom and is one of the most thoughtful, compassionate, and warm people I have ever met - and she loves what she does. I've had such a shift in my mindset since working with her and that is a blessing not only to me, but to my family. As a mom of three young boys, it is difficult to find time to even think for myself, much less take time to do anything for myself. I wasn't looking for a complicated plan that I wouldn't have time to follow. Through such small shifts in my mindset and habits, I was able to make monumental changes in the way I feel and I am so grateful to Christianne for helping me get here.

When I first started working with Christianne, I was dubious. I was unsure of what benefit mindfulness would bring to my life and what coaching could provide me that more traditional therapy had not. I had faced numerous trials in my life and generally considered myself an anxious person. While I wasn’t shy about facing or sharing my struggles, I didn’t feel fully equipped to move past them. At the end of my rope and feeling burnt out in many areas of my life, a chance connection led to me working with Christianne. Initially, I had signed on to work with her for 3 months. At the end of those three months, I was sold. I had let go of the desire to overcommit, become stingy with how I spent my time, and I could feel the stronghold of anxiety losing its grip.

As I continued working with Christianne, my life continued to change. I put boundaries in places where they should have always been, learned how to be gentle towards myself, and navigated new life challenges in a much healthier way. Thanks to Christianne, my days are lighter and I treat myself with much more compassion. I am less anxious and more grateful. I have a better relationship with my husband, my kids, and my friends and family. Christianne is compassionate but truthful- she listened to me with so much care and she also challenged me, refusing to let me throw myself a pity party when the going got tough. She has cheered me on through all of my progress over the last ten months. You can tell that she is as genuine as they come and that she is so incredibly passionate about her work. I was a tired, overcommitted mom of 3 and business owner struggling to regain my sense of self that years of people pleasing, anxiety, and postpartum depression had clouded. And thanks to Christianne, I have been rejuvenated beyond what I could have ever expected. Mindfulness helped me to get back to who I am and because of that, the way forward feels much more clear. I cannot recommend working with Christianne enough (seriously I don’t think I could ever have enough words!)- your life will be forever altered in the best way possible

“I met Christianne in a meditation workshop at my yoga studio. I was new to yoga and totally unfamiliar with meditation but at an emotional crossroad and open to new experiences. After 49 years of working, I was suddenly retired and unsure of what to do with myself and how to define my existence. It took exactly 45 minutes (the length of the meditation class) for me to be convinced Christianne was someone who would definitely add value to my life. On first impression she was warm, calming, authentic and knowledgeable but as I would learn, that did not even scratch the surface of what she had to offer. If anyone were born to be a Mindfulness coach, it is Christianne. She is EXTREMELY bright.

Her previous training as a nurse gives her all the anatomical/biological understanding of how the body works. Her personal spiritual beliefs equip her with the compassion and warmth that this profession demands. Her intuition gives her insight to see through the noise and pinpoint the issues. And her authenticity makes you feel heard and understood. She recommended readings to help me understand what I was feeling. She gave me assignments that helped me look at myself objectively She respected my boundaries as she gently pushed past them. She helped me see myself in a kinder light, with far less judgment than I had ever done in the past. She taught me to breathe and to use my breath to cope with my anxiety. She helped me find gratitude and to appreciate my life through that perspective.

I think any and everyone could benefit by investing 12 months of their lives to train and learn from this woman. I respect her professionally, I adore her personally, and I feel blessed to have met her and to have her in my life. My experience with her has changed me. I went from my cup having a hole in the bottom to truly seeing it overflow. If you are ready to make a change in your life, there is NO ONE better to help guide you through that change!!”
