Public Speaking & Presenting
Christine Badalamenti Smith is a C-IAYT-certified yoga therapist, Kripalu-educated mindfulness leader, and Ayurvedic counselor who helps women entrepreneurs and leaders break patterns that talk therapy, coaching, and willpower couldn't shift. Drawing on an Eastern, nature-based approach to the mind and behavior, she teaches how to partner with the body and nervous system for a practical, repeatable path out of anxiety, self-doubt, and old stories, and into clarity, presence, and lasting change.
Her clients describe results that hold. They finally learn how to break out of patterns that kept them stuck for years, and that previous professional support couldn't resolve. They leave sessions with Christine feeling lighter, more grounded in their bodies, and more connected to who they actually are - not just for the day, but as a new way of being in their lives. Christine has brought this work to audiences at VBSR, WBON, BNI, and the Vermont Suicide Prevention Network, translating a therapeutic skill set into talks that leaders and entrepreneurs can put to use immediately.
She speaks on the nervous system, self-regulation, and the somatic roots of burnout, boundaries, and self-development, equipping audiences with tools they can use the moment they leave the room, not abstractions to think about later.
