TESTIMONIALS
“I highly recommend her contribution and skills in the areas of: health, wellness, entrepreneur implementation and beyond”
Testimonial - 6 week program, noted support, years of vitality after, etc.
“My work has taken me all over the world, from the UK, Switzerland, LA, The Bahamas and my last six years.. with a world number one athlete, traveling the world together for tournaments.
As a Nanny and Maternity Nurse you put your life and needs on hold, whilst becoming the glue to other people's lives. I was working 24 hour shifts, six days a week and it was when I was at a point of utter exhaustion that I met the amazing Christy at her Wellness centre.
I was introduced to her by my boss (athlete) as she was working with him, helping with his nutrition/ training programme.
On my day off, Christy asked me to come along to her wellness centre. My time off was very limited yet I just knew this was something I had to do... Christy gave me a day of such intense restorative treatments that I walked out feeling a completely different person.
It was like the world stopped and suddenly my needs came first. This was such a poignant reset in my life, a crossroads where I decided to care for myself as I do others, rather than constantly be on the back burner.
I went on to do the six week online programme with Christy which included regular video sessions /personalised fitness work outs and a wealth of information to empower me about my health and wellbeing.
It was so much more than I could ever have imagined, and just made me take charge of my health in a practical, personalised way.
My biggest dream in life was to become a mum one-day, but I had to stop and put myself first before that could happen. I honestly feel if I hadn't been introduced to Christy I would still be working as Laura Poppins, and not mama to my beautiful boy.. who is almost a year old.
I am beyond grateful every single day for the gift of life that Christy has given me. The daily tips of alkalising and stretching, hydrating and breathing... they empower me as a mum, a wife, and to be the best version of myself. Forever Grateful to you”

Testimonial - business start up, management & credentials
“I am a European citizen and run my family company with my son for more than 40 years.
I have been knowing Christy since 2007 and I always appreciated her honest behavior and good will in hard work.
I opened a wellbeing center and hired Christy since I was aware of her qualifications and completed studies such as:
EUROPEAN INSTITUTE OF FITNESS achieved at Lilleshal National SportsCenter in UK for:
Master Trainer
(International Diploma Personal Training Certified in one-on-one, partner and small group Personal Training including PT Box, Swiss Ball and core stability training, suspension training TRX, mobile PT and outdoor training)
Fitness & Motivation Coach
(ACSM endorsed Coaching award- Certified in motivation and lifestyle management, coaching psychology and behavioral management techniques )
EIF Certified Nutrition Coach
(Certified in body composition analysis and accelerated fat loss including nutrition-based behavioural coaching techniques, one-on one consultations and delivery of professional supermarket tours)
EIF Certified Exercise Specialist
(Certified in postural retraining and corrective exercise (after proper analysis) including functional training for sports and rehabilitation, back care and specific population of the community such as: older adults, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, osteoporosis, pregnancy and adolescents)
EIF Fitness Entrepreneur Award
(ILM endorsed business training including training in business set up and management, marketing and sales, product development and client care)
In addition, the following certifications she achieved in USA were very useful for us, since no one in Europe had them yet:
Foundation Training Instructor
(A series of postures, poses and movements. Activates posterior muscle chain, anchors the hips, decompresses the spine and teaches to take a burden of supporting the body out of your joints and put it where it belongs: in your muscles. It is a re-wiring of the poor posture patterns ingrained in your bodies from modern lifestyles that cause pain, deterioration and inefficiency)
AIS Therapist
(The Active Isolated Stretching is a method of relaxing the muscles by lengthening and fascial release massage. It is a type of Athletic Stretching Technique that provides effective, dynamically increasing circulation, facilitated stretching of major muscle groups but, more importantly, AIS provides functional and psychological restoration/ rehabilitation of superficial and deep fascial planes for optimal sports performance and injury prevention)
Also, she brings clients through breath work, ice therapy and a type of meditation/ relaxation which assisted with recovery faster than athletes were able to achieve solo.
I have been very glad to realize that after the first couple of years my expectations of Christy’s capacities have been confirmed.
As our General Manager, she completed all the necessary paperwork in French to obtain our authorizations from the renovation stage, through the tough government regulations (including install of an additional sink to pass health and safety) allowing us to open to the public on time.
It was her duty to hire, manage and calculate the bonuses on top of salary for our staff.
She trained the entire team herself with the method she developed, delegated well to our 7 employees and supervised the program of every client.
Our well-being community grew strong thanks to her ongoing workshops where she paid attention to the common issues and needs amongst residents and provided sustainable solutions to promote a well balanced healthy approach to the hectic lifestyle here.
She managed to collaborate with other locals in the Holistic Health industry in Europe expanding our popularity quickly.
With fast growth comes extra challenges but she handled it well.
When problems were presented she asked my advice and always acted in a diplomatic manner.
She was very efficient with the ongoing operational needs following a strict procedure.
Oversaw the purchase & maintenance of equipment in all departments of our Wellness Center including the demanding purchase orders for the cafe and product line.
Unfortunately, the landlord of our premises decided to sell the property and therefore we have been compelled to close.
She surprised me of her spirit to keep our good reputation going by continuing working around the clock during our busy period to ensure our paperwork was all in order, then waking up to open the cafe with new Plant based recipes and a smile all the way to moving from our 220 m2 center into a studio to prepare for our closing.
It has been a wonderful and challenging experience which I would be very happy to repeat.” - M.C.
Testimonial - structure, program creation, global impact, charity work, fund raising, etc.
“I am writing on behalf of Christy Leigh. I have known Christy for about 10 years.
I am a professional in the health, fitness and green technology space for over 20 years.
I have worked with, consulted with and have traveled with Christy and have witnessed her pursuit of helping people with her expertise and professionalism in a variety of areas; creating wellness and detox programs, implementing, starting and running businesses as well as being a strong advocate for social, economics and sustainable global and human betterment.
She has helped with an organization I sit on the board with, getting clean water to kids in Africa. I have seen her create a state of the art wellness business from raising capital, to setting up and implementing programs.
Christy is a highly committed, smart and capable person to add healthy value to any community.
I highly recommend her contribution and skills in the areas of: health, wellness, entrepreneur implementation and beyond.”
