About

Begin Within. Today.


Christene Lee Gerardi, EdM

As a Mental & Emotional Wellness Coach, I served 200 high school and college students over 18 months in a campus wellness center. I’ve earned additional certification in “College Student Well-Being, Trauma and Resilience” from Florida State University and “Expert Strategies for Working with Traumatic Memory” from NICABM, giving you a safe space to process stress and trauma blocks effectively.

I’m a Certified and Insured Meditation Teacher and have designed and taught a Wellness and Meditation class in a public middle school and for the community. Purposeful meditation exercises help you gain insight and understanding of what makes you tick!

I was a Licensed Public School Health Teacher in Massachusetts and Florida and earned a Masters degree in Health Education from Boston University. As an Integrative Medicine Educator, I studied the full range of holistic and alternative medicine methods and modalities in graduate level course work. I’ve worked with groups and individuals on how to use complementary and alternative medicine when their conventional medicine didn’t serve them well so they could feel empowered and educated on how to best heal their chronic health conditions.

I’m a published Writer, as my first submitted essay was published in a beautiful coffee table book: The Love, You book.  I write for mental health and wellness, personal discovery and exploration and creativity and purpose and encourage journaling for personal insight and understanding.

I’m a Re-Creator with an undergraduate degree in Recreation Administration where I studied the business of play and leisure. I learned how to re-create ourselves with leisure, opportunity and relaxation.

I am a Speaker and Educator. My style is a little bit cerebral, a little bit of zen and a touch of stand-up comedy.

I currently live in Apollo Beach, Florida. Classes held in Apollo Beach, at your site or virtually. Contact me to book these classes or to create one just for you and your community
