150Hi! 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.

47Sundays 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.

38GIVEAWAY ALERT ‼️ Win a FREE pair of @ra_optics glasses ⬇️💙 details below! Blue light glasses aren’t all the same - and your body needs different support depending on the time of day. 🟦 BlueSync — Daytime lenses For screens, travel, airports, artificial light, productivity and tired eyes. They reduce eye strain, sharpen focus and support your circadian rhythm so you don’t feel wired and depleted by late afternoon. 🟧 Sunset lenses In the evening and at night - blue light tells the brain it’s still daytime. That suppresses melatonin and keeps cortisol high, which makes it harder to drift into deep, restorative sleep. Sunset lenses block the stimulating wavelengths of blue light so your body can wind down naturally. Two different environments — two different solutions. One for clarity + focus, one for calm + deep sleep. ✨ I’m giving away one pair of @ra_optics glasses — the winner can chose a pair of BlueSync (daytime) or Sunset (evening/night time) lenses. How to enter: 1. Follow @ra_optics 2. Follow me @cristionaaston 3. Tag a friend 4. Bonus entry: share this reel to your story and tag @ra_optics and I so we can see it The winner will be announced by the end of November 🎉 Take care of your eyes - they’re doing more than you think ❤️

17I’ve worn polyester and nylon gymwear for years. But slowing down in Bali has made me question things I never used to think about - including what sits on my skin when I train. During a workout you have heat, sweat, friction and open pores… and most activewear is plastic-derived. We already know microplastics and the chemicals attached to them can influence hormones, fertility and inflammation. What we don’t know is what decades of that kind of exposure during exercise means. It’s interesting when you think about it — we go to so much effort to avoid chemicals and microplastics in other parts of life… filtered water, cleaner skincare, better cookware… yet so many of us spend hours every day wrapped in synthetic fibres. Some people quite literally live in their leggings. I’m not telling anyone what to wear. I just wanted to share the thought in case you’ve never had the space to consider it either. Send this to every woman (and man) whose health you care about ✨🤍 #TrainForLongevity #NaturalActivewear #HormoneSafeFitness #WomenWhoLiftSmart #hormonalhealth

24Nobody told me that aging well isn’t about holding onto youth. It’s about finally feeling at home in yourself. You stop punishing your body and start partnering with it. You stop chasing tiny fixes and start building foundations. You stop trying to be “less” and you learn to take up space - in your routine, in your relationships, and in your life. The shift isn’t instant. It’s slow, steady, and earned. One day you wake up and realise: you’re no longer trying to look like your younger self - you’re building the strongest, calmest, most magnetic version of who you are now. Real ageing well looks like this: early nights, heavy lifts, real food, daily walks, nervous system regulation, sunlight, boundaries, self-respect. It’s not loud. It’s not dramatic. It’s a woman choosing herself on repeat — until it shows in her body, her energy, her skin, her relationships, and the way she holds her life. The truth is, ageing isn’t something to fear — it’s something to grow into. 🤍 If this resonates, save it for later — and send it to a woman who deserves to feel powerful in her own timeline.

11Sorry, I just didn’t like the whole “unfortunately” trend 😄☀️ It doesn’t take a lab - it takes nature. At least cover the basics before you tell me how many pills + biohacks you do. Wearing @indigoluna.store Jewellery @themoonshellbali 📸 @fala.tanarara

17Everyone loves the after photo. Not many love the early mornings, early nights, or choosing real food and sunlight over pastries and “just one drink.” Discipline isn’t glamorous. It’s repetition. Quiet choices. Less noise, more integrity. I’m not chasing “sexy.” I’m building strength, stamina, and a nervous system that can hold my life. It isn’t magic or a pill – it’s a lifestyle! And I love it, you have to find a way to build a life you love.

20Perspective 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.

16Sunday 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

3If 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 ➡️
