​This journey called life looks slightly different for all of us.  Just as every step we take feels and looks different for every being on this earth, so does healing and becoming our best self.  Are you feeling driven toward a big scary goal?  Are you feeling driven to be more, find your passion, live your lifelong dream, have more energy, feel more fit, eat healthier?  Anything from starting a new business, gaining new knowledge, building your health, fitness and so many other paths that are pulling you daily.  That is where we begin!  We have a conversation.  We dig into what is tugging on your heart and soul.  What is your big motivating push toward achieving your dream.  That biggest WHY you may not even be accessing today with the power to propel you toward success!  Are there ways you are getting in your own way?  Are others getting in your head and causing you to hang back and feel you can't reach for the stars?  Let me assure you the stars are not the limit of where you can go with the help of a coach and the tools to support your growth and healing in any area of your life.  The best move I ever made in my life was to enlist the help of coaches. 
It costs nothing to set up an appointment and explore how I might support you as a coach no matter how big or small your goals and dreams are.  We will dig into your why and what might be holding you back.  From there it is completely up to you!  If we both feel we are a great match to take you on your journey and you feel I can guide you via weekly coaching sessions that will build every part of your life, we will talk about what that looks like for you!  And even if we don't work together, I know you will get a great value from our Love Your Guts For Life Exploratory Session simply by giving voice to where it is you are headed in your life!  Rest assured this has to be the best place for both of us and if I feel another path will better serve you, I will honestly tell you so.  Your success is the ultimate goal for both of us!  So what have you got to lose.  Let’s get to know one other and set up your exploratory Love Your Guts for Life appointment today.  No obligation.  I will not endlessly harass you to hire me ever.  Coaching is a very personal choice and as such it has to be right!

​Hello!  I am so excited that you found your way to my website and thank you so much for taking the time to  browse around and get to know me.  I am even more honored to get to know you!  I hope we can walk this path together and find our way to even healthier and happier adventures as we do!
So on that note, let me tell you a little about me.  My name is Christa and I am blessed to be the momma of two beautiful young women who are now momma's themselves.  I am so proud of them every single day!  They are smart and driven and kind and funny.  I have learned more about life and myself as a mother than I ever dreamed possible! They truly are the best thing I will ever do on this earth.  I have 6 beautiful grandchildren!  Wow...I'm way too young for that...aren't I still 29!  
The soul of a poet and seeker of spiritual and personal improvement is permanently woven through my being.  Writing brings order and understanding and expression to my world in so many ways.  It has led me to who I am over and over.  I love books that make me a better human and strive to make each day better than the last.  
My biggest joy is seeing my girls live their lives and live their dreams and thrive in whatever way brings them happiness!
This is the same joy and passion that brought me to health and life coaching. I have always been athletic and active and healthy.  I took it for granted that my body always functioned when I needed it to and I also worked hard to be in shape.  I ate pretty healthy most of the time...except that ice cream thing I inherited from my Mom!  My life was full of road cycling, lifting weights, teaching aerobic classes and SPIN classes, hiking, camping, and golf.  I loved being outdoors and active.  And then one day my body began to betray me and I had no clue why.  I gained weight, I had no energy, I was sick all the time.  I remember saying overnight I felt like an 80 year old woman and I was 42.  I used all the knowledge I had to try and fix it naturally.  I didn't want medications and in fact after one illness where I was given an antibiotic I got even sicker.  I felt 100 years old for weeks. Everything hurt every day, I didn't sleep and I had no energy.  It challenged my mental and spiritual journey in more ways than I could ever have imagined.
It was not an easy journey.  The answers weren't easy to find.  It took years of finding the right doctors, the right books, the right teachers and coaches and mentors and so much experimentation and healing and I do believe God also led me to a few key people and places who in turn led me to answers I needed and the tools to finally get where I am today.   The saying "Coincidence is just God's way of staying anonymous" fully embraces this journey!  I never quit looking for answers.  Accepting a different reality was not in the cards, nor was giving up or feeling like a victim.  I soaked in everything I could and researched it.  Now it’s my turn to give back.  To live the life I have always felt born to.  Helping others live their healthiest and happiest life.  I know knowledge and experience I have lived the past 15 years can help others and my journey is to help heal in so many ways.  So here I am, a health and life coach, and I hope you too receive some gift from your journey to my page!  Just as I was guided to the right resources, I believe you are here for a reason so thank you for being here for yourself!  Thank you for reading to the end!  For walking this path with me and more importantly FOR yourself!  Give yourself a hug and celebrate the wonder that is you today!  If you are ready to feel better, move better, live your passion, walk into the full amazingness that is you and live your dreams, let me know.  I'm here to listen, support and be your guide to living every day to the fullest! How can I serve and walk beside you?
