Chrissy Cordingley is an accomplished professional coach, facilitator, writer, and speaker with over 20 years of experience in behavioral coaching and performance management. From her early roots as an Occupational Health and Safety Specialist in heavy industry, Chrissy mastered the art of transforming "bare-minimum" mindsets into ones of purpose and possibilities. Since launching Rise & Thrive Wholeness Coaching in April 2024, she has dedicated her practice to building psychologically safe spaces and communities using her gift for storytelling to bridge the gap between executive strategy and soul-led leadership.

Chrissy’s philosophy is built on the foundation of Wholeness: the radical belief that we are only truly successful when we are safe in our own hands. To Chrissy, wholeness means having the confidence to include ourselves in our own decisions, the grace to navigate mistakes, and the courage to challenge anything that isn't in our best interest. A lifelong advocate for the healing power of the natural world, Chrissy achieved her Sylvotherapy certification in the spring of 2026, allowing her to integrate nature immersion into her work with individuals and corporate leadership teams. Whether in the boardroom or on the forest floor, she empowers leaders to lead with vulnerability, intuition, and an unshakable sense of self.
