Health and Wellness Coach

Cristina Pierce is a National Board Certified Coach

Hello and Welcome!

I'm Coach Cristina; I can't wait to meet you and learn all about your hopes, dreams and goals.

As a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I partner with clients to create healthy behaviors that last. We do this together by exploring your strengths, working through areas of your life that you want to change, and discovering the first small step into your future.

Whether your goal is to eat healthier, sleep more, improve relationships or just figure out ways to take better care of yourself, I will walk beside you on this journey of personal discovery and transformation to help you make all of your wishes come true.

Did you know that your behaviors, the things you do everyday, are one of the most important factors that determine whether you live a long, healthy life? But how do you change, and then even more challenging, stick with these new healthy behaviors, such as exercising, sleeping more, improving your relationships, or eating nutritious foods, for good?

Science has found that behavior change occurs when we get to the root of what's most important to you, and pair it alongside positive psychology; which is the discovery of what makes you flourish at your best, versus trying to fix a problem. Discovering who you are today, and your dreams for tomorrow, is the basis of what a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach orchestrates, with you always in the driver's seat.

My genuine curiosity and incurable optimism brought me to coaching empowering me to achieve the National Board Certification of Health and Wellness Coaching (NBC-HWC); an esteemed credential representing training, education and assessment standards set by the National Board of Medical Examiners.

In addition, I hold a Lifestyle Medicine certificate from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM); which equips me with the knowledge to help my clients prevent, treat and even reverse chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, Type 2 diabetes and obesity.

The bottom line is, you are what you repeatedly do. Your habits and behaviors make up who you are and ultimately how you feel. What habits or behaviors are you ready to change?

I had the good fortune to connect with Cristina Pierce during a difficult point in my life. I had been faced with many challenges including divorce, raising teenagers, an aging parent, working and attending school. I knew I needed help getting my life back on track and gaining control and improving both my physical and emotional health. From the first time we connected she was warm, non-judgmental, caring, and I felt she sincerely was there for me and genuinely wanted to see me succeed.

As of today, I feel like I have been able to achieve goals that prior to working with Cristina felt overwhelming. I am now able to set a positive and healthy example for my children on how to balance the challenges in life and manage those crazy times that come up without putting myself last. She is a true gift and I am so thankful I made that first call.

Through working with Cristina, she helped me to evaluate my values and how I spend my time. She taught me how to develop goals for myself that would keep my life moving in a fulfilling direction that centered around my priorities and what truly made me happy.

She helped me to create and maintain boundaries between my personal and work life with very concrete steps. She also helped me to realize my specific strengths and how to utilize them in all my different roles.

Cristina truly “walks the talk” as she personifies what ultimate self care can do for us if we choose to prioritize it. She is genuine, extremely resourceful, inspiring and relatable. It is clear that it is her life mission to help others reach their potential as well.

Coaching is built on a relationship of trust in a judgement-free, safe space of discovery and transformation. A coach is a partner who offers a thought provoking creative process of inspiration through positive energy, while assisting you, the client, to achieve all of your goals and dreams. Your future starts here by creating your vision and 3-month behavioral goals to take the small steps toward lasting change.
