Well-Being Compass

You’re like a ray of sunshine!  I feel lighter, softer, and just more aware of my body. 
Starting with finding 14 minutes of your day to be quiet, focused, and open to learning, even the busiest of us can find 14 minutes.  The first step is doable!  Next, sip on some warm water (doable, right?).  The entire course went on with “doable” steps (either physical or mental) and when all put together, I honestly feel more balanced and in touch with myself.  I have a better understanding of the doshas and Ayurvedic principles.  Understanding, of course, there is so much more to the journey and to be absorbed.  This was the perfect intro for my needs! Thank You, Christianne for your kindness and for sharing so much of yourself in this course.

Excel In Balance is a perfect first step into the pool of calm waters that is Ayurveda. 
The approach was in perfect, simple bite-size pieces. After finishing this course, I know that I am heading into my desired path and eager for more! Thank you, Christianne.

Excel In Balance has made me acknowledge how small daily changes in routine can lead to overall improved physical health, which segues into emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. 
Ahh, your website name now really brings understanding, as Ayurveda provides the compass that guides. Wow! As I review all the videos and assimilate the workbook, I think, this intro is just the beginning of the journey that has infinite potential. What an adventure! Namaste with much gratitude for your guidance and compassion.

This course is filling the cracks in my guest house windows, smoothing the bumps, and polishing the floor. 
I cannot thank you enough. Excited to see what’s next while I continue to build long-term habits that support this balance and harmony.

These teachings have been helpful not only in my personal growth but also in my practice of patient care.
I have been following your teachings on the Ayurvedic lifestyle since meeting you on a trip to India  10 years ago and am truly grateful for this.

I appreciate both learning the content from this very gifted teacher and further learning the art of teaching through her. 
How blessed we are that Christianne is so clearly on her path! Watching her teach, I feel I am learning the true meaning of a sattvic teacher!

I am so thankful for all I’ve learned about feeling more balanced!
As this program comes to a close, I am so grateful for the pillars I have learned to keep in balance: centering breaths when I’m anxious, rushed or overwhelmed, enlivening practices when I’m dull, sleepy, or unmotivated, and laughter when I get too serious trying to control life, and the list goes on…

So informative and you make it all so personal to each of us.  This is quite special!  Plus, your presentation, format, and organization skills are excellent.
Christianne’s course helps me connect my inner being to the worldly life, gently guiding my choices throughout the day! Through it, I’ve developed daily practices that invite me to give thanks for the person that I am and the person that I strive to be.

This course allows you to take command of your thoughts, words, and actions so that you might enjoy your life to the fullest of your potential. 
It invites self-discipline without self-guilt and allows you to release anxiety about the past and the future by showing you how to enfold yourself into the power of the present moment.

Joy Sikorski, Writer, Composer and Musician, Washington DC

I appreciate Christianne’s insights, as she shares wisdom from her own life experiences. 
She has a real way of guiding based on her ability to distill many things into a simple, doable, yet profound practice. Just pick one thing, remember to breathe, be kind and gentle with yourself, and……what’s a simple thing that gives you joy? It might be listening to your favorite song, or standing barefoot on the grass, sticking your nose into a fragrant flower. What would your wiser self like to say to your younger self? Change can happen in an instant, and we are never too old to shift.

It takes a while to undo bad habits and start better practices.
My life took a drastic turn when I suddenly lost my husband. Since then, I have been relearning all manners of life. After realizing I had been suffering from depression, I got reacquainted with Christianne and her wonderful courses. While it’s still a learning curve for me, as it takes a while to undo bad habits and start better practices, I am benefitting from these changes in such positive ways.

Nina Alling, Allison Park PA

I celebrate and honor the beautiful energy that is woven through each breath inspired by this course! 
Allowing these teachings into your life is like cultivating the precious gems that bring peace, and serenity and add a certain glow to your everyday life. While surrounded by a community of positive people, Christianne’s grace will guide you each step of the way.
