OUR FOUNDER

Meet Christine Dyan Thomson, RDN, LDN – a dietitian who dared to dream differently. Like you, she felt that persistent whisper that there was more possible, more impact to create, more lives to transform. Today, she guides other visionary dietitians to turn that whisper into their reality.

Christine’s story isn’t about a straight path to success – it’s about the courage to keep reaching for more even when the way forward wasn’t clear. Blending her deep experience as an RD, with transformative coaching methods, she’s created a unique approach that honors both professional excellence and personal truth.

The Manipura Centre was born from a profound belief: when dietitians fully embrace their unique brilliance, they create magic. This is where passionate nutrition professionals discover their deepest gifts and learn to share them with the world in ways that feel incredibly alive and authentic.

As your guide and mentor, Christine brings both fierce dedication and gentle understanding to your journey. Her approach weaves together deep emotional wisdom with practical strategy, helping you build a bridge from where you stand to where your heart knows you can be.

Are you feeling that persistent whisper that there’s more possible for you? Your journey to bringing it to life begins here.

 

 

OUR HISTORY

Our journey began with a focused mission: helping dietitians transform their relationship with money. In 2019, our founder Christine Thomson began mentoring fellow registered dietitians as “The Money Mindset Dietitian,” helping practitioners overcome limiting beliefs about their worth and value in the healthcare space.

As these conversations deepened, a powerful truth emerged: the challenges dietitians faced weren’t just about money—they were about alignment, authenticity, and the courage to redefine success on their own terms. We discovered that when dietitians felt truly aligned with their values and purpose, financial abundance followed naturally.

This revelation led to the birth of Manipura Centre in 2022. Today, we’ve expanded beyond money mindset to embrace a holistic approach to professional fulfillment. We guide dietitians through transformative work that honors their expertise while creating sustainable, authentic careers that energize rather than deplete.

Our evolution reflects the journey of many practitioners we serve—a path of growth, self-discovery, and the unwavering belief that dietitians deserve careers as nourishing as the care they provide to others.

 

 

OUR MISSION

We believe in the transformative power of dietitians who dare to dream bigger. Our work goes beyond traditional career development – we help you uncover the unique magic you bring to the world and turn it into meaningful impact that fills your heart and feeds your soul.

Through our carefully crafted programs and experiences, ambitious nutrition professionals reconnect with their vision and purpose, gaining the clarity and confidence to create extraordinary success. Every offering we design combines deep mindset work with strategic action, ensuring you have both the inner foundation and practical tools to achieve your boldest goals.

At Manipura Centre, we understand that true professional fulfillment emerges when dietitians align their expertise with their authentic values. We create spaces where practitioners can explore their potential beyond conventional roles, transforming their relationship with success and redefining what’s possible in their careers.

We’re dedicated to supporting dietitians as they build careers that reflect their deepest values while creating lasting impact in the lives of others.

 

OUR WHY

At Manipura Centre, we recognize the untapped potential that exists within every dietitian. That profound sense of purpose you feel, that persistent intuition that you’re meant for something more significant—it isn’t merely aspiration, but rather your professional intuition guiding you toward your authentic path.

We understand that transformative professional growth requires more than just tactical skills or strategic planning. It demands a deep alignment between your expertise and your core values, between your daily work and your broader vision for impact. That’s why we’re deeply committed to helping dietitians break free from traditional career constraints and create professional paths that truly inspire them.

Our purpose extends beyond individual career development to creating a new paradigm in the dietetic profession. We envision a future where dietitians lead with both confidence and authenticity, where professional excellence and personal fulfillment are not competing priorities but complementary forces. Through our work, we help you cultivate this harmonious integration of purpose and practice.

We stand as dedicated partners in your journey toward professional actualization. Our role is to light the path between your current reality and your highest professional goals, providing the tools, guidance, and support needed to bridge this gap. Together, we create the foundation for a career that resonates with your deepest values while making a meaningful impact in the lives of others.

Our Why reflects our fundamental belief: when dietitians fully embrace their authentic professional calling, they not only transform their own careers but elevate the entire field of nutrition care.

 

 

OUR CORE VALUES

Empowerment (MANIPURA): We believe in awakening the inner strength that every dietitian possesses. Through powerful mindset work and strategic guidance, we help you build unshakable confidence and take bold action toward your most ambitious goals.

Authenticity: True excellence starts when you fully embrace who you are. We create space for genuine self-expression and help you build success that feels naturally aligned with your values and vision. Your unique perspective isn’t just welcome here – it’s essential to your greatest impact.

Transformation: Real change goes beyond surface-level shifts. Our programs create deep, lasting transformation that touches every aspect of your personal and professional life. We guide you through powerful mindset shifts that turn potential into exceptional achievement.

Community: No extraordinary journey should be walked alone. We’ve created a powerful network of ambitious dietitians who inspire, support, and elevate each other. Here, you’ll find peers who understand your vision and celebrate your success as their own.

Gratitude: We believe appreciation opens doors to greater possibilities. By cultivating genuine gratitude, you’ll discover new opportunities for growth and impact. This mindset becomes a foundation for building sustainable success that energizes rather than depletes.

FUN FACTS

ABOUT CHRISTINE

I love to travel to exotic places. I'm also bougie, so most of the destinations I venture to need to accommodate that part of me, as well.

I believe we all have different “parts” that coexist within us. So don’t be surprised if you see me in my FreePeople goddess gown one day and my carrying a Chanel bag on another.

I’m a self-proclaimed Chi-town New Yorker.

Born & raised in suburban Chicago, I’m also adopted into the NYC family by way of my husband – Brooklyn all day, baby!

 

I eat pizza every single Friday.

What else can I say? I don’t know another food that is so versatile that you can literally eat it a million different ways!

I was a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Back in the day when Dr. Phil was on every Tuesday, my (then) husband and I were guests on a show highlighting myths about marriage. Go figure!

I created a health muffin that I successfully pitched to Whole Foods Market.
