Since You Know You Best...

You're probably well aware of the changes you want to make in your life.

The real question is HOW? And where do you even begin?

How do you change the habits that are no longer serving you and be able to stick with new healthier behaviors, such as exercising more consistently, eating healthier, sleeping better, managing stress more effectively, and at the same time successfully master the changes menopause has imposed on your life, for good?

How do make healthier habits become automatic and a part of who you are?

If you find yourself starting out strong when setting new goals and habits for yourself, and then slowly losing momentum, you're not alone, this is very normal. We are all a work in progress.

This is also exactly where coaching comes into play.

What I Can Do For You

As a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I have been rigorously trained in the science of behavior health and positive psychology, meeting you right where you are, to help you create sustainable behavior change that specifically works for your life; ultimately combating chronic disease and achieving long term health and happiness through lifestyle medicine (the daily habits you have control over).

Doctors will tell you all of the things you NEED to do to be healthier, but they don't show you HOW.

Medical professionals are educated to treat disease by prescribing medications, and simply don't have the time, or training, to work with you on behavior change through lifestyle medicine.

Outside of genetics or injury, most ailments patients are suffering from are directly caused by their lifestyle, and treating with medication, versus changing habits and behavior, is only a band-aid.

Science has found that behavior change occurs when we get to the root of what's most important to you in your life, and pair it alongside positive psychology; the discovery of what makes you flourish at your very best, versus trying to fix a problem.

Big changes can feel overwhelming, but repeated small actions are doable and reap huge results.

This is what a coach provides you; a pathway to change that aligns with who you are and what works best for your life. You're always in the driver's seat.

Discovering who you are today, and your dreams for tomorrow, is the basis of what a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach orchestrates. What happens next is magic!

You Are What You Repeatedly Do

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.
