Testimonials

I had the pleasure of experiencing 6 glorious coaching sessions with Christel. Through her professional expertise, guidance and coaching I have made positive changes in my personal life with my husband and family, in my health through positive reinforcement in my gluten-free  choices, and better able to realize my innate ability to make life decisions to be more in alignment with my goals of health, peace, and  serenity.

With Christel as a coach I was able to honestly look at my life.  I became aware of my attitude and how I feeling and behaving with the people around me.  Christel helped me recognize this with our discussions in which she would ask me how things are now, where I would like to be, and the steps that can be made to get to that desired goal.  Her coaching sessions helped me to achieve my goals in a way that honors and respects myself and we would celebrate even the smallest accomplishments along the way.  I learned to let go of my emotional attachments and just focus on my goal, which puts me in a much healthier state emotionally as well as physically.  I also learned to set limits with others regarding my time.  The tools I learned with Christel I incorporate into my daily routines and I use them as a guide for a better way of living.  It was a pleasure working with Christel and I highly recommend her!

I was literally ‘tanking’.  Summer 2012 my energy level had plummeted.  November, I spent 23 hours in the emergency room to investigate a cardiac crisis.  The February 2013 abdomen endoscopy proved normal but my esophagus and digestion were a mess.  Could it be work related stress? A food allergy?  Menopause?  I was frustrated with traditional medical choices but knew I needed help.  Thankfully, I met Christel Autuori.  Her pleasant and open manner was inviting and when she told me about Integrative Health Coaching I did not hesitate to request her as a coach.  I was not familiar to this kind of relationship but felt an objective mind could help me focus my life into a more healthful and balanced direction.  Christel has tremendous listening skills and used her knowledge to ask important questions that I had not been asking of myself.  The Wheel of Health was an important visual tool that allowed me to see the whole picture of not just my health but why my life was so topsy-turvy.  I had a chance to investigate where the imbalances were and figure out why I was not working on making my dreams come true.  I liked having an objective guide as I set SMART goals to attain a more balanced approach to my nutrition and physical environments that  empowered me to make fulfilling, practical decisions about my future. This coaching approach kick-started me into making healthful integrative living Job #1.  I positively recommend Christel as a Integrative Health Coach.

Christel’s gentle guidance was just the support I needed to add new, beneficial health practices to my life. We set realistic goals and applauded small steps. These were ideas I had  contemplated for some time but had  always found excuses for putting them on the back burner. Christel’s regular reminders that my health and happiness deserve to be a top priority gave me the encouragement I needed to move forward.

 The realization that it was okay to devote time to myself (and not 24/7 work) was not being selfish, but instead it was nurturing my being that made me a better and happier person.  The discovery that I had this control was empowering and has allowed me to move forward with my personal and professional goals while leading a more balanced lifestyle.  I could not have done this without your guidance, thank you for helping me to find myself!

Christel helps me to come back to earth from my busy life. Just thinking about her, and the beautiful studio where we do yoga helps me to breathe more regularly and calm down. Hearing her voice in my head with her advice guides me through difficult situations in my life. Her lessons are designed in a way that not only you get a physical workout but that body and soul are reunited as a whole. The result is finding peace with yourself and strengthen you inside out  to tackle every days challenges. Everybody needs yoga, everybody needs a Christel...Thank you for being my teacher!

I have taken Christel's yoga classes for many years, often in the evening after a long day of commuting and working, and I have always come away feeling both energized and serene. On those nights I also sleep better and wake up ready to face the day's challenges. Part of this "Christel effect" is her carefully-planned classes and part is her kind and caring way of relating to each individual in the room.
