About Christianne Asper-Contant, CAS, RYT-500: Your Compass for Well-Being
In a world overflowing with health advice and endless wellness trends, it is not uncommon to disconnect from your body’s true needs. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the endless pursuit of “doing more,” battled a restless mind, or struggled to find genuine ease in your relationship with your body, food, or sleep, then you’ve landed in good soil.
My greatest joy lies in guiding people back to their true north, helping them quiet the noise and reclaim their inner compass. This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about reclaiming that innate common sense within all of us that knows just how to cultivate self-agency for well-being and thrive amidst life’s growing demands with a light, resilient spirit. I’m Christianne, and I’m here to share the practical, compassionate tools that helped me and countless others find harmony amidst the chaos. If you’re yearning to reconnect with what truly matters, to find a sense of deep peace and vibrant living, you’ve found a kindred spirit.

My Mission
My mission is simple: to help you remember your inherent wholeness. I serve as your compassionate guide, translating nature’s timeless wisdom into practical tools for greater ease. My aim is to support you in cultivating a sustained sense of wonder, inviting playfulness back into your life, and ultimately guiding you to reconnect with the inner compass that leads you to dynamic balance and vibrant vitality. This is about finding your unique way back to well-being.
My Approach & Credentials
My unique method is rooted in ‘Bem Estar’ — a term from my native tongue that represents the “ease of living from your inner compass.” I guide you in fostering this delicate ‘Art Form’ by addressing key pillars like deep rest, sustaining vitality, and nourishment through food wisdom. Through our work together, you are always encouraged to play an active, empowered role in your own well-being journey.
Having dedicated more than half my life to this path, my comprehensive background seamlessly integrates my Psychology degree and decade-plus as an ACE-certified Health Coach with my deep immersion in the wisdom sciences. I became a Clinical Ayurveda Specialist (CAS) in 2003 from The California College of Ayurveda, and have continuously deepened in maturity of understanding through studies under renowned teachers like Dr. Marc Halpern, Dr. David Frawley and Dr. Vasant Lad. I became a Yoga Teacher in 2008, and have since maintained ERYT-500 with specializations in Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy, Yoga Nidra, Relax and Renew®, and Advanced Teacher Training.
Based in Rochester, NY, I also serve as the Yoga Director at The Assisi Institute. Alongside this, I am the driving force behind Well-being Compass—my coaching and wellness practice. Consider me your ‘personal navigator’ on your unique path to harmony, ease, and awe. You’ll feel held, not judged, as we explore your way toward your inner compass and cultivate a life seduced by wonder, one simple, intentional practice at a time.
