Hi I’m Cris Pipoli,
I am a certified Health Coach. I believe that all my previous work & life experience have led me to here. At the age of 53, I'm seeking to help you become the best version of yourself!
I grew up in São Paulo, Brazil, and received my college degree in Public Relations. My first job was traveling to Europe and the Middle East with Brazilian tourists. Soon after at 21, I got married to an executive of an American Company and my life took an interesting turn: I lived the next 28 years in 7 different countries. It sounds exciting but it was not always easy. I had to reinvent myself, had to adapt, had to overcome homesickness, had to make new friends, learn new languages all the time, say goodbye over and over again, and raise my beautiful baby boy away from family. During this time, I was always aware that I needed to keep my mind occupied so that the familiar enemy of our family (depression) would not knock on my door.
I continued to invest my time in the world of Fitness. I soon found out that everywhere in the world people were looking for someone to motivate them to live a healthier lifestyle, and I thought I could be that person.
My first Certification as an Aquaerobics instructor came from US , followed by Personal Trainer Certification in Australia ( FIA) , Basic Exercise Course from Singapore Sports Council, plus certifications in : Step Aerobics, Zumba , Aqua Zumba, Step Zumba, Pilates Teacher Training and Tae-bo. Most of my time was spent teaching aquaerobics. After creating my own program called “ Be Fit With Cris Pipoli” and teaching/mentoring large groups in Venezuela, India, Singapore, China and Australia, bringing fitness to everyone that crossed my life, we moved back to the US.
This was when I started studying to become a Health Coach. And everything made sense to me! I learned the “behind the scenes” of how I had lived my life all those years: focusing on being active, grateful, eating nutritious meals, having a positive approach to life. That was when it hit me: I was being a Health Coach all those years to those around me and didn’t know it!
Now, with my double certification in Health and Life Coaching, I can help you become the best version of yourself!
