Celeste Brinkerhoff – CPSS, CHHC 

I’m Celeste Brinkerhoff, a certified holistic health coach and peer support specialist. 

Certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I’ve spent years immersing myself in hands-on learning, from assisting in a Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture clinic to working in chiropractic and bodywork centers. These experiences have given me a front-row seat to the transformative power of preventative care.

Today, I live by the philosophy of turning life into an art form, shedding shame, and finding joy in the everyday. My mission is to inspire others to do the same while advocating for systemic change in psychiatric care. I advise healthcare practitioners in my role with Hardy Nutritionals on how to use research-backed broad-spectrum micronutrients to improve mental and physical health by providing cellular sufficiency.
