About Me
I am Christelle and I am a Certified Health, Wellness and Life Coach, and Psychology Graduate. With my psychology background I have always had a keen interest in the power of the mind, human behaviour, and mental processes such as thoughts, feelings, and motives. My interest in Health & Wellness Coaching comes from my personal journey to health.
As an adult I struggled with my weight and I had numerous health issues over the years. However, after personal trauma in 2017, and subsequent burnout, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. What followed was a trial-and-error journey with medications and treatments, while I experienced my quality of life deteriorating. I was feeling ill and unenergized, while thinking “surely this cannot be as good as it gets?”. My mental health was also deteriorating and out of desperation I decided to take my health and life back in my own hands.
My continuing health journey started then and today I am happy, healthy, no longer on medication for my autoimmune disease, and 27 kilograms lighter in the process!
My own journey, and realising the profound effect that a balanced and healthy lifestyle can have on both your mental and physical health, inspired me to want to help you also take your health and life back.
We are all infinitely resourceful and capable of making the right decisions and changes to live our best lives. I also believe that you need to focus on mind, body and spirit, the whole being, to reach optimal wellness.
Live a happy, healthy life, age well and one day look back at a fulfilled life. I would love to guide you to make the rest of your life the best of your life!
