Staying True to Your Path: Christine’s Wellness Journey from Denmark to the French Riviera.

In this episode of Living the Dream: French Riviera, Cecile welcomes Christine Kjeldberg, a wellness expert who has built a thriving career in Pilates, barre, and nutrition since relocating from Denmark nearly 20 years ago.

Christine shares how she turned a lifetime of movement, holistic health, and personal resilience into a meaningful profession on the French Riviera; beginning with teaching Pilates to her elderly neighbours and growing into a respected international wellness practitioner. From early challenges with the French language and navigating local administration to developing a niche as one of the very first Pilates instructors in the region, Christine opens up about the realities of rebuilding a career abroad.

We explore: • How she transitioned from dancer to personal trainer to Pilates and barre specialist • Why balance, between nutrition, movement and enjoyment, is at the core of her philosophy • Her return to full-time studies as a mother of two, completing both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s • The growth of her online and international clientele, including luxury wellness retreats • Her signature kombucha flavour that became a bestseller • The importance of trusting your intuition through every stage of relocation and reinvention

Christine’s story is a powerful reminder that passion and consistency can create a fulfilling life, no matter where you land.
