About Eden...
After what seems like a lifetime of interest, study, education and consulting work in the health and wellness arena, Christine Gingerich, founder of Eden Enterprises, decided to catapult her passion from hobby to full-time business in October of 2004. Although she had spent years "unofficially" coaching, she decided to launch what eventually would become known as Eden Enterprises ~ LifeStyle Coaching & Consulting.
What is the significance of "Eden"? Ah, that Garden of long ago…A place of perfect rest, harmony, balance, health and nourishment . . . Ultimate “well-being.” Man was created to thrive in this type of dwelling – Quite a contrast from today! Rushed lives, hurried agendas, instant everything, and preferably via drive-through. “I call it scheduled chaos. Everywhere I turn, people are victims of the often self-inflicted problems of our contemporary culture, and at some point things begin to break down.” Your “dis-ease” may be fatigue, frustration, or dissatisfaction. Maybe your health has begun to show signs of wear and tear, or your energy isn’t what it used to be. Has weight gain begun to discourage you? What about your home – is it a haven, a place of rest, or could it be more organized and efficient?
Eden Enterprises ~ Lifestyle Coaching & Consulting™ is designed to assist you in finding your way to a place of health and harmony. Eden Enterprises desire is to see you reach your potential. This comes through focusing “well-being” in each of the following areas, or what I call, “The Four Pillars ~ Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual ~ If you are healthy in each of these four foundational areas, I believe you will be better equipped to achieve your potential and maximize your created reason for being.
