About the
MANIPURA CENTRE
Where we do the deep inner work that most people skip: mindset work, specifically for dietitians in private practice who feel stuck or misaligned in their career.
Clear the mental barriers and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Our work centers on transforming your relationship with success, money, and what’s possible for your life.
The work we do here changes everything; not just your practice, but how you show up in the world.
MY STORY
I’m Christine Dyan Thomson, RDN, LDN
I know what it feels like to build something successful that doesn’t quite feel like yours anymore.
That’s because I’ve been where you are: working harder but not feeling fulfilled, making good money but still feeling financially stressed, being “successful” on paper, but wondering if this is really what I worked so hard for. I was caught between the business I’d built and the life I wanted to live.
I realized that all the business strategies in the world wouldn’t fix the deeper issue. The problem wasn’t my systems or my marketing; it was the beliefs, patterns, and choices that had gotten me there. I needed to do the inner work to get myself out of the cycle I’d created for myself.
That’s exactly what I’ll help you do, too. My approach isn’t about business strategy or adding more to-do’s to your plate. It’s about clearing the mental blocks that keep you stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, so you can create work that actually serves your life.
You may not know you have mental blocks. You may not even think you need mindset work. Neither did I, not until it was clear what was keeping me stuck: ME.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN
It all began in 2019 when I started sharing money mindset tips as “The Money Mindset Dietitian” on Instagram. After being mentored for many years on my own mindset and experiencing exponential growth in my career, I knew I could help my colleagues do the same. Initially, I focused on helping dietitians overcome limiting beliefs about money and charging what their services are worth, and then the conversations quickly revealed something deeper.
The challenges most of my dietitian clients faced (even the most seasoned ones) weren’t just about money; they were about feeling stuck between what they wanted for their personal life and the career they were creating. Many had built thriving practices but found themselves working weekends, making decisions based on people-pleasing, and feeling like their business ran them instead of the other way around.
This insight led to the creation of Manipura Centre (the word MANIPURA means EMPOWERMENT). The work has expanded beyond money mindset to address the full spectrum of what keeps dietitians stuck: the guilt about wanting more, the decision paralysis, the financial shame, and the isolation that comes with running your own practice.
This beautiful evolution reflects the journey of the dietitians I work with; moving from working harder but enjoying it less, to creating work that actually serves their lives. I help you bridge the gap between the success you’ve built and the fulfillment you’re craving. You already have the expertise; you just need to do the inner work to make it feel like yours again.
WHAT I BELIEVE
I believe you deserve more than just “successful on paper.” You deserve work that feels as good on the inside as it looks from the outside.
My work goes beyond traditional business coaching. I help you clear the internal blocks that keep you stuck in patterns of overworking, underearning, and operating from survival mode. Through private coaching programs and retreat experiences, I guide you through the inner work that changes everything.
Every offering I’ve created combines deep mindset work with practical application, ensuring you have both the internal clarity and strategic direction to create sustainable change. I know deep down that real change happens when you address the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.
I’m dedicated to helping my clients move beyond survival mode to create practices that reflect their expertise, honor their values, and support the life they actually want to live.
MY BIGGEST WHY
I do this work because I believe in us as the nutrition experts, and I want more dietitians to succeed in creating thriving nutrition practices.
Because when your practice thrives, that means you’re helping more people. And when you’re helping more people heal their relationship with food or heal their gut microbiome, or help a mom get her picky eater to eat healthier foods, you’re changing lives that couldn’t be changed otherwise.
My biggest purpose is to help you love the career you chose and to help you turn your success into something that feels sustainable, fulfilling, and aligned with your values and life goals.
My “Why” reflects my fundamental belief: When you’re fulfilled in your career, not just going through the motions, everything changes. You’re genuinely excited about helping your clients, you stop feeling guilty about wanting more from your professional life (including more money), and you become living proof to other dietitians that we don’t have to choose between success and a life well-lived.
MY CORE VALUES
Empowerment (MANIPURA): I believe in your ability to create the change you’re seeking. Through proven mindset work and strategic guidance, I help you build the clarity and confidence to make decisions that honor both your expertise and your life goals.
Authenticity: Your success should reflect who you’ve become, not who you were when you started. I create space for you to evolve your practice in alignment with your current values, priorities, and vision for your life.
Transformation: Real change goes beyond surface-level adjustments. My approach creates deep, lasting shifts in how you think about success, money, boundaries, and what’s possible for your life and practice.
Community: The journey from survival mode to thriving shouldn’t be walked alone. Through my in-person retreat experiences, I create a supportive community of like-minded dietitians who understand the unique challenges of being successful but unfulfilled and who celebrate each other’s growth.
Gratitude: I believe in your power to create the life and practice you want. Rather than staying stuck in what’s not working, I help you take ownership of your choices and create sustainable change from the inside out.
