Marie-Annick Courtier, Health and Life Coach
I developed my interest in health and personal growth from a very young age. As a National Table Tennis Champion, I quickly realized the importance of a healthy mind and a healthy body to maximize performance. I took many classes, including psychology courses, to coach my favorite sport at international level and educate trainers. The education and experiences I gained, from these early years, made a profound impact on my life. To this day, I still enjoy keeping up with the latest information on nutrition, fitness, relaxation techniques, sleep, stress management, mind potentials, and healing; as I believe all aspects are keys to health and human development.
I am the creator of The “Personal Fitness Chef” Program, which certified hundredth of healthy chefs throughout the United States, Asia, and Europe countries. Improving the health of others has been my mission for years and this program is the perfect representation of my love for scientifically sound nutrition and the pleasure of the table. I am also a certified Fitness Nutritionist Coach, Sports & Fitness Nutritionist Specialist, Tennis Professional (USPTR-Dennis Van Den Meer University Certified), Table Tennis Professional (USTTA-FFTT Certified), and Soccer Coach (CYSA Certified). I also attended various certification courses such as Train The Trainer, Life Coach and NLP. I learned various meditation techniques and am a Certified Sports Hypnotist, which I often utilize to help my clients visualizing what they want in life, change behaviors, and relief emotional stress. I, myself, have been practicing Zen meditations for more than 30 years. I am also the author of numerous books that were created to help promote healthy lifestyle and healthy eating based on specific diseases. I acquire knowledge from great teachers such as The Dalai Lama, Tchi Nhat Hanh, John Dbat-Zinn, Daniel Goleman, Wayne Dyer, David Hawkins, Aaron T. Beck, Eckhart Tolle, and many French Philosophers.
Over the years, I have conducted many classes, seminars, and retreats. My expertise has benefited World Class athletes, Chefs, Dietitians, Doctors, Scientists, Health Industries, Wellness Industries, Retirement Communities, Fitness Gurus, School Districts, Colleges, Sports and Recreational Programs, Sports Clubs, Churches, Girls Scouts of America, Entrepreneurs, and Nonprofit Groups. I inspired young people and mentored many all around the world. I have helped individuals to overcome challenges, conquer their fears, reach their potentials and moving on after the loss of a loved one. I will admit to you now, that the hardest coaching I ever done, was helping a mother to move on after the loss of her child. Our conversations taught me much and her amazing strength truly inspired me.
Coaching has been part of my life since I was young. I have been coached and have coached many from sports to various aspects of one’s life. Many have told me that I am more than a coach to them. I have been called a teacher, mentor, confident, mediator, healer, and even an angel on earth. That last one brought a smile on my face, as I am no angel, can’t fly in the first place! Coaching to me is not just about helping others. It is also what others have taught me. Together we learn, grow and challenge the limits. I love coaching and, today, I still find much happiness in
- Guiding people to empower them with better health - Guiding people to overcome challenges - Guiding people to heal their inner wounds - Guiding people to find and develop their passions - Guiding people to create and live the life they want
I have appeared on television, radio shows, and received excellent reviews from a variety of magazines such as OC Metro, Westways Magazine, Uptown San Diego District Magazine, OC Flair, North Orange County Magazine, New York Post, New York Daily News, Life & Style Magazine, Vogue, Fox News, Women’s Health, or Health News Digest.
