Where Success Meets Freedom

You’ve Built the Practice.

Now It’s Time to Build the Life.

 

At Manipura Centre, we help dietitians realign their work with their lifestyle. Stop feeling stuck in survival mode in your career and start creating the freedom, flexibility, financial confidence, and fulfillment you really want.

Through deep inner work and strategic reframes, we help you create a practice that feels as good on the inside as it looks on paper.

You Know This Feeling…

You’ve built something real. You have clients who trust you, systems that work, and the professional credibility you once dreamed of. But somewhere along the way, something shifted.

  • Maybe you’re making less than you know you’re worth.

  • Maybe you’re working weekends because you can’t say no to that extra client.

  • Maybe you’re tired of feeling like your practice runs you instead of the other way around.

You didn’t start your own practice to feel just as overwhelmed as you did in a full-time job.

You wanted more freedom, steady income, and work that fits into your life, not the other way around.

The good news? You don’t need to burn it all down and start over.

You just need to tweak what you’ve built so it serves your life better.

 

WHO WE SERVE

You’re already successful in your dietetics career, but you’re exhausted from over-performing your way there. As dietitians, we’re trained to be high-performers from day one; to excel in our coursework, pass the rigorous RD exam, complete demanding internships, and prove ourselves worthy of the credentials we’ve earned. This high-performing mindset that got us here often becomes the very thing that burns us out.

You’re likely working endless hours, saying yes to every opportunity, and taking responsibility for everyone else’s outcomes while your own needs fall by the wayside. You sense there’s potential for something more, a way to create meaningful impact without the constant pressure to prove your worth through achievement.

You may have ideas about how nutrition care could be different and better, but you’re caught in the cycle of managing every detail instead of trusting yourself and your systems (if you have any). You’re probably a self-proclaimed Type A perfectionist who’s ready to step off the hamster wheel of endless proving and into a career that honors both your professional expertise and your personal lifestyle goals.

 

You’re NOT looking for another strategy to work harder. You’re instead ready to transform your relationship with success itself and start living your BEST life.

The Over-Performing Ends Here

The journey to professional fulfillment isn’t just about checking all the boxes.

It’s also about feeling proud of what you’ve achieved, and it’s hard to do that when you’re on the over-performing hamster wheel.

At Manipura Centre, we help you:

 

  • Break Free From Survival Mode
    Stop feeling like you’re just getting by while working twice as hard as everyone else. We help you identify and clear the mental barriers that keep you stuck in patterns of overwhelm, underearning, and over-performing to prove your worth.
  • Create Financial Confidence
    Move beyond the constant worry about money and the need to say yes to everything. Develop a healthy relationship with your worth, your rates, and your financial goals, so you can make decisions from abundance, not scarcity or fear.
  • Design True Flexibility
    You wanted freedom when you started your practice, not another demanding boss (yourself). We help you create the boundaries, systems, and mindset shifts that actually give you the three-day weekends and family time you’re craving, without the guilt.
  • Create Work That Feels Impactful
    Stop sacrificing yourself to serve others. Create work that serves others deeply while honoring your own needs, designing a practice that reflects both your professional expertise and your personal values, not what you think you should be.
At Manipura Centre, we’re helping dietitians move beyond survival mode.
One life-changing shift at a time.

 

THE REAL WORK HAPPENS ON THE INSIDE

STRATEGIC MINDSET MASTERY

The way you think about yourself, your worth, and your career possibilities shapes everything; your confidence, your decisions, and ultimately, the life you create. Our proven approach helps you:

Clear The Mental Barriers:
  • Stop making decisions based on people-pleasing and start choosing what’s best for you
  • Overcome imposter syndrome and self-doubt that keep you saying yes to everything and playing small
  • Develop an abundance mindset that attracts opportunities and growth without the burnout
  • Build a new relationship with success that feels authentic to you, not what everyone else expects

Make Decisions From Clarity:
  • Know what actions to take and in what order, instead of spinning your wheels
  • Stop second-guessing yourself and trust your seasoned professional judgment
  • Create boundaries that honor your energy and priorities without guilt
  • Define success on your own terms, free from others’ expectations

Develop Emotional Resilience:
  • Navigate challenging situations without taking them personally
  • Build confidence that doesn’t depend on external validation
  • Stop taking business failures so personally and bounce back faster
  • Create a grounded sense of self-worth that can handle any challenge

 

LIFE-CENTERED CAREER DESIGN

Your career as a dietitian should serve your life, not consume it. At Manipura Centre, we focus on aligning your work with who you’ve become and what you want & deserve. Our proven approach helps you:

Create True Flexibility:
  • Stop working weekends and start protecting your personal time
  • Design a schedule that honors your natural energy patterns
  • Build systems that support three-day weekends if that’s what you want
  • Create boundaries that prevent burnout before it starts

Align Your Work with Your Values:
  • Trust your unique approach to nutrition and wellness
  • Express your authentic perspective with confidence
  • Create services and programs that feel truly aligned with who you are
  • Stop following someone else’s path and create your own

    Design Your Ideal Lifestyle:
    • Move beyond traditional work-life balance to true integration
    • Create sustainable practices that prevent overwhelm
    • Build a career that complements your family priorities
    • Generate the income and impact you want without sacrificing your own well-being

     

    "Before working with Christine I was overwhelmed with business information that I couldn't bring myself to apply. After a few sessions with Christine, I started believing in myself and trusting the process of building a virtual business at my own pace, with my own concepts, bringing my own style and my own principles. As a result I started signing clients consistently and I feel more confident with the fact that things happen when they are meant to happen. I highly recommend working with Christine if you've struggled with lack of confidence, mindset and believing in yourself to maximize your skills as a Registered Dietitian."

    – Alma Simmons, RDN, LD

     

    “I feel like I am getting the value promised above and beyond my initial expectations. This is the only coaching program I reviewed where I felt comfortable moving forward for my personality and life situation. At the core of everything, we’re learning how to slow down and challenge perspectives. If you can learn to think, you can solve any problem to succeed.”

    Erica Dean, RD, LD

     

    “Before working with Christine, I had launched a group program and also started seeing 1:1 clients. Although I was happy to be out of my full-time job, I felt a bit overwhelmed with everything happening so fast! After working through the process with Christine's help, I learned how to have the mindset of a business owner so I can continue to grow my nutrition business!”

    Stephanie Glaser, RD

     

    “Before working with Christine, I had dozens of ideas for my business with no plan of action or motivation to implement those ideas. After just one planning session, I had written goals for the year and action steps for the quarter. Each quarter, month, and even week I am acting on those goals and getting encouragement to stay focused and continuing to act. In just the past two months I have hired a virtual assistant, increased my rates, had an increase in paying clients, and am in the process of launching the podcast I dreamed of years ago. When I look back at when I made the decision to do this for myself, I feel it was one of the best investments I made this year for both myself and my business. I highly recommend working with Christine if you've struggled with mindset about money and motivation to act and move forward with ideas that can help you make more money as a dietitian.”

    Shelley Rael, MS, RDN, LD

     

    I learned a lot about how I had to change my mindset. I had to change the way I do business and then attract people that want to be my clients; the people I know I would feel comfortable working with.

    -Christi Dorsey, MA, RD

     

    With Christine's coaching and accountability, I have implemented the mindset work and and took action on the resources, which has resulted in getting a lot more opportunities to work with more brands. I am now able to negotiate contracts on a much larger scale. My numbers on social media have increased significantly, as well!

    -Sarah Muhammad, RD, LDN

     

    A big piece of the work is MINDSET. It was really nice to be able to THINK about the messages that I was saying to myself in my head and the direction I wanted to go, and just think about things in a bit of a different way than I was thinking about them before.

    -Jennifer Scheinman, MS, RDN

     

    While working with Christine, I have gained clarity of what I really want out of life and what I truly want my business to be. I've totally switched my business model based on my new mindset. I've learned to take time for rest and reflection to avoid burnout, which will help me become a better business owner.

    -Dorian Doss, MS, RDN, LD, CPT

    Your Guide to Authentic Dietitian Success

    Hi, I’m Christine Dyan Thomson, founder of The Manipura Centre and creator of the MAKE MORE MONEY AS A DIETITIAN podcast.

    I’ve worked with MANY of dietitians who built successful practices but found themselves trapped in survival mode;  working weekends, underearning, and feeling like they were just getting by in their own businesses.

    Here’s what I’ve learned: You don’t need better business strategies. You need to clear the internal barriers that keep you stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

    When you do the deep inner work to realign your practice with who you’ve become…when you stop operating from scarcity and start creating from abundance…everything shifts. Your relationship with money. Your boundaries. Your ability to make decisions that honor both your professional expertise and your personal values.

    The goal is working smarter, from a place of clarity and confidence, so your practice finally serves the life you want to live.

    Every dietitian who joins our community becomes part of this larger vision: that you can have both professional success and personal fulfillment and that you deserve both.
