By: Oishika Sen
Almost everyone experiences loss and subsequent grief and trauma, but not everyone can easily overcome it or channel their mourning in positive ways. Mary Cristine ‘s approach stands out amidst the dogmatic views on healing and coping.
As a holistic health coach, Mary Cristine is driven by compassion, empathy, and a deep understanding of the barriers to genuine health and wellness. Through Betha Life, her mission is to revolutionize health and wellness with unwavering support and scientific rigor.
Mary Cristine’s professional journey started in the corporate world, where she achieved stability and growth but felt a sense of stagnation. The loss of her father to cancer and her son’s neurological disorder ignited her passion for health and wellbeing.
Inspired by her son’s healing journey, Mary Cristine pursued becoming a clinically certified nutritionist with a focus on gut health and functional medicine. Her goal is to transcend corporate limitations and make a meaningful impact on individual well-being.
Like many professional fields, women like her have the additional responsibility of breaking the “glass ceiling” along with excelling at their chosen careers. By doing so, Cristine says “we challenge preconceived notions and inspire others to pursue their aspirations regardless of gender. By demonstrating competence, resilience, and leadership, we contribute to dismantling stereotypes and fostering a more inclusive mindset.”
Of course, they bear this responsibility whether they wish to or not, and this can often be a burden rather than a badge of honor, demanding additional perfection and excellence to be taken seriously in a field where she is considered another. Although, one may argue that this is a double-bladed sword necessary for the greater good. Cristine explains, “In the professional sphere, women leaders often bring unique perspectives and management styles, emphasizing collaboration, empathy, and diversity. This not only cultivates a more inclusive workplace culture but also sets an example for future generations of women aspiring to leadership roles.”
“Additionally, women have leveraged platforms such as social media and international forums to amplify their voices and advocate for change. By sharing personal stories, achievements, and challenges, we connect with a broader audience, fostering a sense of solidarity and inspiring others to challenge norms”.
