Hello! I'm Christine, an author, health coach, and yoga teacher. I have devoted myself to a vegan lifestyle and studying its benefits to human health, the environment, and animals since 2005. I’m certified in Plant-Based Nutrition through the eCornell Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and have a Plant-Based Pro certification from the Rouxbe School of Cooking. While living in the Bay area, I taught vegan cooking classes.

After becoming a yoga teacher in 2008, I joined the faculty of the Global Yoga Center’s Teacher Training program in Chicago from 2008-2013, where I taught yoga teachers about the connection between diet and yoga–more specifically ahiṃsā (non-harming)–the first precept of the eight limbs of yoga. I'm continuing my studies with Janet Stone and her 300-hour yoga teacher training.

Born and raised in Indiana, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in journalism from Indiana University, Bloomington and a Master of Arts in Humane Education through the Institute for Humane Education in partnership with Antioch University New England. I currently live in Madison, Wisconsin with my husband, two cats, and a dog, all three of which were adopted from shelters.
