So why wait? It’s not too late to start.

Hello, I'm Christine Despres.

I’m here to help you take control of your health and aging—because I understand how important it is to live well at every stage of life.

As a nurse, dementia practitioner, and holistic health coach, I’ve spent over thirty years working alongside individuals and families navigating the challenges of aging. I’ve seen firsthand the devastating effects of chronic disease and cognitive decline. But I’ve also witnessed the incredible power of making proactive, positive lifestyle changes. That’s what I want for you.

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your vitality or clarity—it’s about taking the right steps now to thrive as you grow older.

I will show you the path to cognitive wellness and healthy aging.

When you work with me, we'll begin by assessing your current health, collaborating on your wellness vision, and crafting a personalized plan that is empowering and achievable. We’ll unpack the six pillars of health—from nutrition and exercise to sleep and brain health—so that you can build sustainable habits for a long, vibrant life.

The power of starting early.

The sooner you start actively prioritizing your brain health, the better the results.

Beginning in your 40s, 50s, or 60s can significantly reduce your risk of cognitive decline. With proven strategies and a personalized approach, we’ll work together to develop and stack holistic health habits that align with your specific goals and health needs. 45% of dementia risk and 80% of chronic diseases can be traced back to modifiable factors. By making the right changes now, you can improve mental clarity, enhance energy levels, and optimize your overall well-being.

Take the next step toward a healthier future.
