Hi! I'm Christa de Ridder
I am a non-diet Ayurvedic Health Counsellor, Intuitive Eating Coach and Body Image Coach.
I help womxn find peace with food, their body, and their health, without dieting and restriction.
You Don’t Need Another Diet. You Need a Different Path.
You’ve tried it all.
The diets, cutting out yet another food, the food sensitivity tests, a new health plan, and another promising exercise routine. You’ve been there, done that, and honestly, you probably know more about nutrition than most practitioners.
​
You’ve practiced mindfulness, yoga, journaling, positive thinking… yet you still feel stuck.
Your health still feels confusing.
Food still brings up anxiety.
You second-guess your choices.
And you’re still not comfortable in your body.
​
Recognize this?
​
It’s not because you’re doing anything wrong.
It’s because you’ve been taught your whole life that there is something wrong with you.
That being healthy means being thin.
That your worth is tied to your appearance.
That the answer is to try harder, eat cleaner, restrict more, and keep pushing.
But this approach will never give you the peace you’re looking for.
​
What you need is a completely different path; one rooted in gentleness, compassion, curiosity, and understanding. A path where you rebuild trust in yourself, reconnect with your body, and let go of the shame and pressure that have held you down for years.
​
We’re done with restriction.
We’re done with punishment.
We’re done with self-hate.

About Me
After my own healthy journey, which turned into disordered eating behaviour, I started to dive deeper into what actually works. And how do people really want to feel about health, food, and their body? What are the underlying struggles, and how do we move through them? I found Ayurveda to be very gentle on the health front, the Intuitive Eating principles helpful for making peace with food and Body Image coaching transformative for feeling at ease in your body.
​
Now I combine the three modalities, plus several coaching techniques, to help my clients shift their mindset and finally find the freedom they have been looking for.
Client Love
"Over the years I had already done a lot of work to improve my health, but working with Christa had me look even deeper into my relationship with food. Plus I really learned what type of foods work well for my body, which is quite different from what society was telling me. I am amazed at how much I am learning and so happy with the new perspectives Ayurveda has brought for me."
