Hello! I’m Cristina Curreri.
So nice to meet you!
A bit about me….
I’m a proud mom of 2 teenaged girls and I live in the beautiful town of Scituate, Massachusetts. After spending 20+ years in the fitness industry, managing operations and training for big brands and small franchises, I most recently worked for an established Yoga company based out of Los Angeles. This opportunity reignited my love of Yoga (I took my first yoga class back in College) and helped me find the peace that is inside each of us.
I am newly engaged to my soulmate, Paul. We share a passion for good (healthy) food and wine and love traveling for adventure. I am a self-described marathoner-wannabe and will someday (soon) run the Boston Marathon.
The Path Within
“Nothing can dim the light
that shines from within”
~ Maya Angelou
How I got here….
How I found myself on this path is a story I’m sure many can relate to. For most of my adult life I have been an emotional eater. In good times, and in bad, food has always been there for me. It wasn’t until I started writing my book, “Lifting the Weight: How to heal your heart, soothe your soul and transform your body” (still in development) that I fully understood the impact and power food had over me. It was time to change. I needed balance.
Going within, in search of balance, I found my true purpose, my calling, and wanted to go even deeper. Working with a health coach, focusing on myself for the first time in a very long time, my energy shifted and I knew what I needed, and so very much wanted to do. I brought a consistent mediation practice back into my daily routine and was trained in TM, Transcendental Meditation. This journey led me to Yoga Teacher Training where I received a YogaWorks RTY 200-hour certificate. I love to help others find that same stillness through guided meditation and yoga.
Since June of 2020 I began to share my expedition into my past to find a healthier future. I continue to uncover ways we can all lift that sometimes unbearable weight from our hearts, our minds, our souls and our bodies and I share them with you in my Facebook Group “Lifting the Weight with Cristina”. Join me on my journey as I celebrate, stumble, learn, fail, and find the path to loving and caring for myself. 2020 was a year of awakening for me. A year of transformation. And the year that I finally found my purpose.
To hear more about my experience of awakening and finding my answers within, I invite you to listen to the Shine Podcast with Mary Obana (Episode 11: A Weight Loss Journey and an Awakening). Click here for the episode.
