Meet the person behind this blog
My name is Christelle. I’m the mum to 2 beautiful boys aged 8 and 13, and wife to a busy CEO.
As a full time working mum for more than 10 years, living in a foreign country without family close-by, I had my share of struggles, including fighting an auto-immune disease, and recovering from burnout.
I developed my own tools and techniques to build resilience, know myself better and find balance again in my life, and you can do the same.
I believe so strongly in women helping each other – this is my big WHY: to help other mums be their better self again. My vision is to create a community where mums support each other, through this blog, and on our Facebook group.
I also trained with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in New York as a health coach and bring all my life experience to add valuable content on this blog.
Please don’t be shy, I would love to meet you so feel free to reach out and say hello.
Christelle
