About
Meet Christine Woods
Christine Woods holds a master’s degree in exercise physiology and a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She is a clinical exercise physiologist (CEP) and certified health coach (CHC) with over 25 years of experience in health and wellness.
Christine’s professional work experience includes teaching as a university adjunct faculty member in Kinesiology, presenting fitness certification workshops and lectures nationwide, and freelance writing as a fitness and health columnist. Currently, she works as a clinical exercise physiologist and lifestyle coach, assisting both inpatients and outpatients with patient assessment, exercise prescription, cardiac monitoring, and lifestyle coaching.
Christine’s experience working with patients suffering from congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and other chronic illnesses has not only broadened her knowledge of pathology and rehabilitation, but has made her profoundly aware of the importance of engaging, guiding, and supporting individuals needing to change behaviors for better health.
Seeing the improved health of individuals who commit to lifestyle change is inspiring. The decision to change behavior can ultimately improve self-management of chronic conditions, reduce health risks, and have you feeling overall better! Change doesn’t have to be big to be effective. Positive outcomes can be achieved when coach and client work together to discover and explore the strategies and solutions that make sense in the context of the client’s life. Together, a motivated client and a supportive coach can dramatically influence health. Let’s work together and prioritize your health and wellness!

Testimonials
See how Christine’s personalized approach has empowered clients to achieve their wellness goals.
I first met Christine almost 20 years ago. At the time, I had already adopted what I thought was a healthy lifestyle – eating well, exercising regularly, and maintaining a good weight. I had no idea how much I didn’t know and that there was so much more to learn until I started working with Christine. Christine educates me with nutrition, physical health, and well-being information regularly. She is an encyclopedia of health and wellness. Working with Christine has helped me to maintain my overall health and well-being. She is my teacher, mentor, consultant, and most importantly “Friend for Life.” I feel blessed and lucky to know her.
Christine has been incredible since I met her in 2017 after my heart surgeries. She greeted my wife and me with enthusiasm, quickly customized our exercise programs, and was always ready to offer guidance. I was so impressed that I hired her as my personal health coach. Christine is the perfect blend of fitness coach, nutritionist, counselor, and friend, with a great sense of humor and spiritual insights. She’s the total package, and I’m thrilled to have her as my coach!
Christine is such a ray of sunshine and a force for good. She has so much knowledge and experience and she seems to be constantly learning and using all of that to try and help people. I absolutely love her program, which has saved me from traveling along a much less healthy path through middle age. Her attitude toward life in general, though, is an inspiration.
