My Story
Hi, My name is Cristina Schultz, the creator of Tangible Well-being. Here you will find my story, uncovering what started it all. I am thrilled that you found your way here, I truly hope you stick around.
Tangible Well-being was created with a mission to inspire, educate, and motivate others to live a healthier, happier life. As cheesy as that may sound.. that is why I am here.
When I started this back in 2019, IΒ made a promise toΒ be nothing short of authentic, and authenticity comes with vulnerability.Β
There is a tremendous amount of vulnerability when it comes to sharing my story so publicly. But without my story, you might not understand why I am here, and how I can help you.Β Β
To put it simply; I’ve lived a lot of life in my years, and it is what I have learned along the way that empowers me to influence others well-being.
Before the age of 18 I had already lived a lot of life. I had been a victim of domestic violence, spent years trying to overcome eating disorders, I was diagnosed and medicated for clinical depression and struggled with crippling anxiety attacks..
Personally, I had it hard, but then again who doesn’t?Β This world can be an unkind place.Β
With the support system of my immediate family and my now husband, I was better off than most and for that I am eternally grateful!
But My Story Doesn't End There.. I'm Only Getting Started..
My pursuit ofΒ happinessΒ does not end with the perfect dose, or the best therapist. My journey truly only began when I hitΒ rock bottom. My health, my career, my independence, my life… it was stripped from me. Not all at once but in a slow manor that took months to take notice.
Β When I begun to lose weight.. donβt get me wrong, once upon a time I would have celebrated that fact. But when 10lbs turned to 20lbs, then turned to 40lbsΒ in less than 6 months.. with no explanation, I knew something was wrong.Β
I started to becomeΒ more and moreΒ physically ill. My life was confined to a washroom.. Months of specialists, tests, scans, and exams, all with no answers.Β Β
Once I hit 65lbs of weight lost, we were testing for everything under the sun. I thought that was it. My story was going to end there..Β
DramaticΒ I know. But after almost a year with no answers, a liquid diet, and watching me wither away to nothing; withΒ no resolution in sight.. I grew fearful.Β
Finally, I was diagnosed with Clostridium difficile also known as C. Diff. A life-threatening bacterial infection in your gut.
Once the C. Diff was finally treated the damage to my intestinal track was severe. I was told on multiple occasions that I would likely never fully recover. I had what they called ‘leaky gut.’ My intestinal track was leaking into my blood stream; poisoning me.
My journey to recovery has not been easy, in fact I’m still on it to this day.Β
Β
But what I learned along the way has empowered me to turn my life around... more dramatically than I thought possible.
I went fromΒ feeling alone, sick,Β depressed, anxious, and unemployed.
To theΒ healthiest and happiestΒ I have ever been!!Β
Working at my dream job, the founder of this business, the owner of my dream home and car. Plus I am married to my best friend and surrounded by amazing friends and family…Β living the life of my dreams.Β
I am forever grateful for the life I have lived. Each and every hardship I’ve faced, I’ve taken awayΒ lessons of resilience, strength, courage, compassion, forgiveness and so much more. It is through these moments of life that I have become the woman I am today.Β
Inspired, motivated and driven toΒ support others on their journey to well-being.

Not A Therapist
People often ask what is the difference between a therapist and a life coach? To put it simply, life coaches are not mental health professionals. But can provide you with accountability, insightful questions, resources and practices to help you help yourself.
From this life I have lived;
Tangible Well-being was created.
