Welcome!
I am so happy that you are here, taking the first step to uncovering your wellness potential!
I am Chrissy DeBruine.
Registered Nurse + Holistic Weight Loss + Wellness + Diabetes Coach
Sustainable Wellness & Healthy Lifestyle Expert
I feel most alive when I am living my most integrious and purposeful self. I feel alive when I am striving for more and working towards personal growth. I feel alive when I am running in crisp air on Colorado trails. I feel most alive when I am with my family, being still. I feel alive when I am being blessed to guide others to their most well self! Knowing all that grounds me and that keeps my flame burning is vital for my forward growth.
I believe that wellness exists when we experience a balance in our reality and our desires. We are well when we are able to align our physical health and physical bodies with our emotional and spiritual self. We are well when we feel empowered and in control of our health. We are well when we have a drive, sense of purpose and direction. We are well when we are in balance and when we are still.
I studied Human Biology at Metropolitan State University of Denver and Nursing at The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. I recently worked as a Registered Nurse, Certified Diabetes Care Education Specialist for a local healthcare company and have gone through my own transformational health journey. During this time I discovered my true purpose and passions; and they have led me here, to serve. My education, professional experiences, personal experiences, passions and personal growth make me a wealth of knowledge that you will undoubtedly benefit from.
I am fortunate to live in beautiful Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin with my husband (Mike) and two girls, Evalyn (15) and Breckyn (8).
I am a very active person and I light up when I am running. I am an avid road runner and also enjoy trail running. Over the past few years I have pushed distances, beyond what I thought I was capable of, after a spinal fusion in 2013. I have safely and healthfully been able to run marathon distances and much farther, many times, after my own health transformation and weight loss of 90 pounds. In 2023 I was able to run just over 4,000 miles and I am excited for the possibilities that lie ahead! I ran my first 50K in Chicago in 2021 and my first 50-mile ultra in 2022, along with a solo ascent and descent of Pikes Peak in Colorado. This has all been possible because of my own transformation and the tools that I will teach you in my 1:1 coaching.
I am proof that it is possible!
I have recently started "Diabetes Connections", a community and support group for anyone impacted by type 2 diabetes and I hope to begin one for wellness and holistic weight loss as well.
I work as a Registered Nurse Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. I truly find joy in teaching people how to live their best with or without disease.
You dont know how good you can feel, until you feel good.
