Hi! I’m Cristíona, originally from the west of Ireland. My journey has taken me across the world, from studying and working in law, to spending years in modelling, dabbling in acting, and now to where I feel most aligned—mentoring and coaching high-performing individuals to optimise their health, energy, and longevity. I’m a licensed personal trainer, with certifications in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University and Health Coaching from the London College of Naturopathic Medicine. My approach blends science-backed strategies with a holistic, personalised method that supports both physical and mental well-being. But the lessons that shaped me didn’t come from textbooks or careers. They came from experience, resilience, and deep personal growth. I’ve loved deeply, navigated challenges, and evolved with every season of life. Divorce, reinvention, and redefining my purpose have taught me that true well-being goes far beyond just training and nutrition—it’s about mindset, self-trust, and long-term vitality. Through it all, I’ve learned this: The most important investment you will ever make is in yourself. This reel is a glimpse into the first half of 2024—highs, lessons, and the people and places that have shaped me. I’m endlessly grateful, and I know this is only the beginning. If you are ready to step into your strongest, most energised, most confident self—with a coach who understands the nuances of high-performance health, personal training, longevity, and self-mastery—let’s talk. You don’t need another quick-fix program. You need a bespoke strategy that fits your life. 📩 DM me or book a call to find out how we can work together. The best investment you’ll ever make is in your future self.

Sundays are my exhale. I make zero plans (here in Bali at least - no family). Walks, a stretch if my body asks for it, sun on skin, fruit or whatever I’m craving, sea air. A glass of wine… maybe two. Just enough to feel warm, not foggy. I don’t crash into rest anymore. I choose it, so the week ahead feels clean, grounded, and strong. Slow living isn’t laziness. It’s strategy. Rest isn’t my escape – it’s part of my discipline. Long game energy only.

Perspective is everything! 🌅 The version of you who’s tired, overwhelmed, and “trying to be healthy” is still living in survival mode. The version of you who sleeps deeply, moves early, and eats intentionally isn’t being disciplined - she’s being free. It’s not about perfection. It’s about perspective.

Sunday mornings in Canggu ☕️🌴 Sunrise walk, green protein shake, and a quiet moment before coaching calls. Sundays are often my busiest — it’s the one day women finally have time to check back in with themselves. Most of my clients are in their late 20s to 40s — ambitious, capable, doing everything “right”… yet quietly disconnected from their own energy. It’s not that they don’t care — they care so much — they’ve just spent years in survival mode, holding everything together. And somewhere along the way, their feminine energy — the softness, the sensuality, the calm — got buried under stress and responsibility. So we rebuild. Through movement that strengthens rather than drains — strength training instead of endless HIIT or cardio. Through sleep that restores rather than numbs — no more pills, melatonin, or collapsing into bed wired and restless. Through food that supports hormones, not punishes them — no “diets,” no deprivation. Because when a woman feels safe in her body again, everything begins to flow. 💌 DM me RESET if you’re ready to reconnect — not just with your health, but with yourself. #FeminineEnergy #WomensHealthCoach #HormoneBalance #HolisticStrength

If you want to see real change, stop switching routines every week. Your body adapts through progressive overload — repeating the same movements and improving your performance over time. Do the same things — over and over — and get better at them: stronger, cleaner form, deeper mind–muscle connection, more kilos moved with control. You don’t always have to add more weight. True progression can come from slower eccentrics, increased time under tension, improved stability, or more consistent range of motion. These variations challenge the muscle fibres differently while keeping the structure of your training intact. That’s what builds strength, shape, and confidence — not novelty, but mastery. Consistency isn’t glamorous, but physiologically, it’s the only thing that works. Swipe to see some of my favourite glute day exercises ➡️

Journalling helps you see the patterns — but you rewire your brain through how you live each day. Every meal, every breath, every walk outside sends your nervous system a signal. The input is the healing. Neuroplasticity isn’t a “biohack” — it’s how your body learns safety, balance, and flow. My work is helping people rebuild that connection — so energy, focus, and vitality return naturally. If you’re ready to feel strong, clear, and calm again, I’m opening 1:1 Health Coaching spaces this month. 🕊️ DM me the word RESET or apply through the link in my bio. #biohack #wellnessjourney #nervoussystemhealing #nourishyourbody

Problem ❌ My sleep was wrecked — years of living around my ex-husband’s chaotic night-time habits left me exhausted and anxious. Solution ✅Heal your relationship with sleep. Wake up and go to bed within 15–30 minutes of the same time every day. That consistency is what creates quality sleep. Start there. Problem ❌ Feelings of sadness, loneliness and depression. Solution ✅Build small, non-negotiable anchors into your day — morning light, movement, prayer, hydration, affirmations and connection. You don’t need to feel ready; you just need to begin. There are better times ahead. Problem ❌ After years of restricted eating and bulimia, my relationship with food and my body was toxic. Solution ✅Eat real food. Whole foods. Always include protein and healthy fats, and use carbohydrates to fuel your energy — especially on active days. No, you don’t need another cleanse. No extremes. Just nourishment and self love. Problem ❌ Obsessive exercise. Endless cardio and HIIT classes. Solution ✅Move daily — but with intention. I don’t care what sports you like - do them all, BUT first include some kind of weight training and full ranges of motion. My go-tos: weight lifting, yoga, hiking. And swapping my old frantic morning runs for slow sea side walks with breathwork completely changed my nervous system. Problem ❌ HRV score of 8. Solution ✅ All of the above — and breathwork. Regulate your nervous system. If your body is in survival mode, no amount of nutrition or training can fix how you feel. Problem ❌ I didn’t know how to slow down. Even the healing became another form of doing. Solution ✅ Learn to be still. Slow down. Be more intentional in all you do. Meditation, journaling, silence, time in nature. Your nervous system can’t heal if it never feels safe. And I’d also ease off on 💡 – Ice baths ❄️ for femmes. Sea swims and cold plunges are great. – Excessive sauna use — more heat doesn’t equal more healing. Optimum for most people, especially females is 20-30 minutes 3 times a week. Feeling well isn’t a goal - it’s a practice. Small anchors, repeated daily, build resilience — physically, mentally, emotionally. ❤️ Reach out if you need help on your journey

I know living in Bali is a very different story to living in Europe in the winter, but for as long as possible year round this is my non negotiable morning routine that I have been doing for years to feel my best ❤️🌅 1. Wake up with the sun (or earlier in the winter 🥵🥶) 2 Splash my face with water 3. Brush my teeth + scrap my tongue 4. Drink a glass of warm water 5. Go for a morning walk (or a run some mornings) 6. Bonus: focus on being present, your breathing, don’t wear sun glasses + let as much of your body be exposed to the “sun” as possible, if you can stop somewhere + do a few minutes of meditation or breath work - 2 minutes is better than none 🙏🏼 It’s the most basic routine, but it works for me and I promise you it will work for you too. Starting your morning early with a strong routine really gets you ahead of the day. Give it a try this week?
