When her dad got sick in 2021, she realized health is built over decades of small decisions, and she plans to choose wisely. By recommitting to her physical, mental, and spiritual health, she reconnected to her purpose and found joy in service and generosity again. Now, she helps other purpose-driven women find harmony between their desire to make a difference in the world and the need to nourish their own body, mind, and spirit without guilt so they can thrive now and for decades to come. She has a health coach certification from Duke Integrative Health, National Board Certification for Health & Well-being Coaches, and a master’s degree in Integrative Health.Instagram: https://instagram.com/esp_wellnessWebsite: www.espwellness.coFreebie: https://espwellness.ck.page/valuesfreebieConsultation Call: https://calendly.com/cristinacoaches/discovery-sessionFREE Curvy Girl Dating Checklist: https://thecurvygirldatingcoach.myflodesk.com/datingchecklistWebsite: https://www.thecurvygirldatingcoach.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecurvygirldatingcoachTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thecurvygirldatingcoach Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecurvygirldatingcoachYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thecurvygirldatingcoach Email List: https://thecurvygirldatingcoach.myflodesk.com/emaillist
