Hi! I’m Chyna...

Now this is where I’m supposed to write about myself and assure you through extensive experience that “Chyna Bates is absolutely qualified to transform your life.” I could list a bunch of things that would make me look “important” and “successful”, and if that’s what you’re looking for, scroll down – it’s all there, I promise… but what I want you to know about me is, I truly care about people and about maximizing YOUR potential. I’m committed to helping people become the BEST versions of themselves and living a life of fulfillment and joy. So whether I’m speaking, leading workshops, teaching, coaching, or writing books, it’s all in SERVICE of INSPIRING and LEADING others to LIVE their BEST lives!
