Ready to Write Your Natural Health Self-Help Book?
Do you love Burt’s Bees, Reishi tea, yoga, meditation, Zen wisdom and organic foods? Do you believe in the body’s innate wisdom, living in harmony with nature and treating the whole self, mind-body and spirit? I do too. That's why I'm a book coach who works with writers like you.
If you’re a natural health expert, a yoga teacher, herbalist, acupuncturist, therapist, alternative, holistic, integrative or functional medicine practitioner, you have an impressive breadth of knowledge honed over years of practice but you may not know how to take what you know and turn it into a cohesive, reader-friendly and market-ready self-help book.
Does this Sound Like You?
-
You have a burning desire to share your knowledge, establish yourself as a thought leader, and grow your brand.
-
You're trying to write your book or book proposal on your own but often find yourself stuck, struggling or stressed.
-
You've tried workshops, conferences, critique groups—but what you really need is one on one support.
-
You were excited about writing your book, and channeling the knowledge you have with readers, but now that joy had turned into drudge work (that you now avoid) and you feel stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. You may even feel shame because you can’t get your book written.
Make Writing Your Book a Joy-Full Experience
When we work together writing your natural health self-help book becomes faster, easier and more Joy-Full. Your mindset is positive because you have direction and purpose. You clearly see a path forward and you follow it. You sustain and build on your passion for your book idea as you write it.
This means that when it’s published, readers feel your passion, joy, and purpose. This changes everything. Your writing is ALIVE.
My superpower as a book coach and editor is helping author-experts to develop, structure, write, and revise natural health self-help nonfiction to produce reader-friendly and market-ready books that transform lives.

Hi, I’m Chrystle Fiedler, The Natural Health Book Coach
When I get on Zoom call with a writer for the first time, I often see and hear stress, fear and overwhelm. Many experts want to write a book but don’t know how. When I got my first book contract in 2009, I didn’t know how either! I was a journalist and content creator so surely that would help, right? It did, to some degree. The rest was trial and error. And not much fun.
Since then I’ve written 12 books and edited and coached many others for Big Five publishers—including Simon & Schuster and Penguin Random House—as well as The Quarto Publishing Group USA, UK, HCI Books and The Collective Book Studio.
As an Author Accelerator certified nonfiction book coach, my superpower is helping author-experts to develop, structure, write, and revise self-help nonfiction to produce reader-friendly and market-ready books that transform lives.
My mission is to save you from stress, fear and overwhelm and help you organize and write your self-help book in a way that transforms you, your readers and the world. Let's talk!

and the world.
The Slippery Slope from Joy to Drudge Work
If you’re a natural health expert, a yoga teacher, herbalist, acupuncturist, therapist, alternative, integrative or functional medicine practitioner you’re deeply committed to the work you do. You have a vast storehouse of knowledge and a burning desire to share it with readers.
You also feel overwhelmed at the idea of organizing this material into an actual book.
When you don’t know how to organize your book, you can have trouble getting started, get stuck in the middle or struggle to finish.
This can make the excitement you feel about writing a book, channeling the knowledge you have and the work you do as a natural health expert, that you were excited to share with readers and the world, lose its power.
When this happens, writing turns from joy into drudge work (that you now avoid) and you feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. You may even feel shame because you can’t get your book written.1-2-3 changes that!

From Fear to Confidence: How I Became an Author, Editor & Book Coach
Most of the time when I get on Zoom call with a writer, I see stress, fear and overwhelm. Natural health experts want to write a book but just don’t know how. When I got my first book contract in 2009, I didn’t know how either! I was a journalist and content creator so surely that would help, right? It did, to some degree. The rest was trial and error. And not much fun.

Writers Who Became Confident Authors
"Chrystle is amazing. Without her, writing my book would have been a struggle, but she made me feel like I could actually do it!"-- Cara Metz, author of The Menopause Metabolism Fix (Fair Winds/2024) and 650k+ Instagram followers.
"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. (Fair Winds/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. Seeking representation.
"Chrystle Fiedler was my co-author on Natural Remedies for Mental and Emotional Health and The Country Almanac of Home Remedies. I am so grateful for her keen ability to weave my thoughts, words and research into intelligent, effective books and make our projects come alive." -- herbalist Brigitte Mars, A.H.G.
And a nice atta gal from one of my acquiring editors at Quarto:
"Chrystle Fiedler is an excellent developmental editor and brings great skill and experience in shaping health and wellness titles."-- Jill Alexander, Executive Acquisitions Editor, Quarto Publishing Group USA.
