Throughout her time earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, she focused her research, reports, and studies on eating disorders, body image, self-concept, mindfulness, and personal growth.

While studying, she became a sought after coach in the personal development world and went on to write a #1 Best-Selling Self-help book, ‘Believe your way to Badass’.

She is currently pursuing her Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling to bring even greater support, knowledge, and counseling / therapy to competitors so they can receive even deeper help from someone who gets it and doesn't believe you have to stop competing to heal what mentally ails you.

After experiencing the post-show blues herself, healing her own negative relationship with food and learning to love her body at every stage, Celeste made it her mission to help other competitors Build More than Just a Body.

She launched into the competition world with her podcast, ‘Confessions of a Bikini Pro’ to have real, raw, and vulnerable conversations to show all competitors that even the most elite professionals have their ups and downs.

Celeste is passionate about changing the industry so that competitors can have fulfilling journeys both on prep and in the improvement season.

She believes that by prioritizing the inner work and developing a healthy mindset, competitors can have a more fulfilling journey.

Celeste knows the mental side of this sport is key to establishing longevity in this sport, ending the yo-yoing from show to show, and establishing goals that span beyond the stage.
