Are You a Health & Wellness Expert Who Sees a Book in Your Future?
Writing a nonfiction book is a smart idea. Whether you're a yoga teacher, herbalist, psychologist or any health and wellness expert, writing a book can be an effective way to share what you know with a wider audience, make an impact and grow your brand.
But too often, this is what books remain, an idea. Life interferes, things happen and the book you want to write gets put on the back burner, again.
If you do manage to carve out time to start writing your book, you can become frustrated because you don't have a direction or a plan. You can write and revise endlessly without making any real progress. This causes stress, confusion, frustration and overwhelm.
This may be why according to one stat that only 3 percent of people who start writing a book, finish it.
It doesn't have to be that way.

"Working with Chrystle Fiedler on my manuscript was a transformative experience. From the moment we began, I felt supported and guided through the previously unknown (to me) and daunting process of refining the manuscript. Chrystle's insights helped me clarify my meaning while retaining my message, ultimately elevating my work to its best possible form. I can't recommend Chrystle's coaching enough for anyone looking to refine their vision and bring it to life!" -- Jacie Beth, author of 30-Day Carnivore. (Fairwinds/2025).
"Chrystle's feedback was incredibly helpful. She helped me see the value of focusing on my own story to start the book to build trust and interest with my readers. Her mix of encouraging words and clear feedback was just what I needed. I thoroughly revised my proposal and sample chapters thanks to her guidance and am feeling much more confident about the project now." -- Jenna Jonaitis, author of The Therapy Virgin.

I have 17 years of experience in shaping health and wellness titles for publication.
Writing My First Book & Why I Can Help You Write Yours
Years ago, when I wrote my first book I felt stressed, overwhelmed and somewhat lost. I had a good agent but very little guidance as to how to actually write the book that I was under contract to write. It was like heading into the jungle without GPS, a map or a compass!
Thankfully, I had enough smarts, writing skills and experience to deliver the book and it was published. Valuable lessons learned. But if I'd had a book coach who provided editorial guidance, feedback and support, the process would have been SO much easier. I would have saved time and energy and actually enjoyed the process of writing my book.
That's why I'm now a book coach and editor. I help expert-authors the way I wish I'd been helped. I share what I've learned so that you can write your book faster, more easily and with more confidence. Whether you're trying to write your first, second or third book, I can help.
