Our Happy Clients!
I joined Cristina’s Academy almost by chance and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Cristina combines strong expertise with a very natural way of leading the class: supportive when needed, but always trusting students to work independently. The program is well structured, practical, and effective, and it has been a meaningful experience that I’m glad to recommend not only for current and future coaches but also for anyone that is curious to know more about coaching world. Thanks Cristina!

Cristina Campofreddo is a great trainer, mentor and Coach. But not only that. She is at the heart of the Sunlight community, where we all learn from her expertise but also from each other's experiences. And we do so in a truly collaborative environment, where we feel safe doing mistakes. This has inspired me every day throughout my whole journey at Sunlight Academy. And I will always be grateful to Cristina for opening up this new world to me. Thanks Cristina!
BARBARA DELLA ROSA
MSc - People Strategy Lead
I met Cristina about a year ago, and since then we’ve completed two cycles of a professional journey together. Thanks to her warmth and expertise, she was able to support me in very different contexts, always offering exactly what I needed to improve myself and grow in my autonomy.
Having her by my side has been essential in helping me reach a deeper level of self-awareness—one that allowed me to take an important step forward, both professionally and personally.
Cristina is an outstanding professional: deeply attentive, incredibly insightful, and always ready to ask the right questions—the kind that truly make you think. Exactly what you'd hope for in a great coach. Thank you, Cristina!
ORIETTA SANI
Head of Agency – Alleanza Assicurazioni
I chose SunLight Academy and Cristina Campofreddo when I decided to begin my journey toward obtaining my ICF PCC credential.
With Cristina and SunLight, I found not only exceptional professional support and high-level expertise, but also powerful and unexpected tools that helped me refine and expand my ICF coaching competencies.
More than that, I found a mentor who guided me through a deeper transformation—leading by example and constantly challenging me to grow. She showed me, step by step, what it truly means to "be a coach" rather than simply "do coaching."
Through SunLight Academy, I also connected with passionate, generous coaches with whom I could share my learning path—during the training and well beyond. It's a vibrant, ever-growing community that Cristina nurtures every single day.
I'm deeply grateful for this experience, which has transformed me both professionally and personally.
MONICA LIVAN
PCC Coach
When I first made the decision to pursue a career in professional coaching, it was a daunting challenge of figuring out how or where to start. As luck would have it, I came across Sunlight Academy under the astute leadership of Cristina.
Not only did Cristina's training and mentoring give me a much more accurate idea of what coaching is (and isn't), but it left me feeling confident to approach the professional coaching market with confidence that the approach I take into my future practice is aligned to the principles of the ICF.
Cristina approach challenges you to unlearn and in so doing, leads you to a much deeper sense of growth (not just as a coach, but as a human being). I will be forever grateful for her highly considerate and personalized approach to training and the amazing foundation it has provided me on this new journey.

Cristina combines a unique blend of empathy, professionalism, and in-depth knowledge of coaching techniques. She consistently offered innovative solutions and effective strategies, creating a positive impact both professionally and personally.
I highly recommend Cristina to anyone looking to enhance their skills, grow professionally, or explore new personal paths. Her dedication and commitment to her clients' success are truly admirable.

"When I was looking for a coaching school, I was lucky enough to have found Cristina. I recently received my coaching diploma by the Sunlight Academy. It was at the end of a beautiful journey where I learned much more than what I could have possibly hoped for. In the online group classes and during the one on one classes I learned about coaching skills and competencies, but above all I learned a lot about myself. Thank you Christina!"

Your guidance has been invaluable, and the time and effort you put into every session have truly made a difference. This has been a deeply transformative journey, and I feel incredibly grateful to have been part of such a warm and supportive community.
This has been the most challenging experience for me. It has shifted my perception of myself and my work."
FLEURA SHKEMBI
Clinical Psychologist, Hypnotherapist, Life Coach, and Meditation Expert
“In the Fall of 2021 I contacted Cristina for a personalized Mentoring service, specifically focused on the sessions to be submitted to the ICF for the MCC assessment. I’d been very impressed by her presentation, her international profile and specific training and our chemistry call then confirmed and expanded my absolutely positive impression.
Our mentoring process was characterized by great respect for my coaching peculiarities, by enormous competence and an enveloping, pleasant style ... beautiful!
Certainly my path with Cristina contributed to passing the ICF assessment with an excellent rating; I’ve been an MCC since February 2022.”

in general. Cristina has been incredibly helpful and she has sparked all sorts of new ideas and inspirations, that I am sure will serve me in the future.

MANIE BOSMAN
CEO & Neuro-Based Consultant at Strategic Leadership Institute - South Africa
"I met Cristina when I wanted to learn much more about professional coaching and gain a qualification along the way. I’m reminded as I write this of a phrase used by Cristina, ‘you don’t create what you want, you create what you are’. The first step along the Sun methodology is the help you define your life purpose, what drives you. An incredibly powerful process, both for me and for those I’ve subsequently worked with. But having revealed my purpose it showed very clearly that the process of coaching is perfectly matched to my purpose. As I feel I am having an important impact on others, I feel Cristina with me at all times. It's not just that she is a great teacher and passionate about the effect of great coaching, it’s that she also feels this is such an important way for people to treat people. This is far more than a job or career for Cristina, its a way for her to make an incredible difference. And I love that. Great coaches done naturally make good teachers but I firmly believe that with Cristina you get it all and that is both rare and valuable."
DON KINNERSLEY

"Cristina supported me in completing the SUN Coach Training Program. I appreciated Cristina’s strong professionality, her focus on details, her practical and at the same time deeply emphatic approach. During the whole of my training program, I felt Cristina close to me as a human being, through her heart and through her spiritual approach that she fully lives and embodies. In my 20 years of experience as a trainer, as a facilitator and as a coach I found the SUN Methodology unique, complete and rich with many tools that can enhance all the areas of our life, both personal and professional, from our wellbeing, our relationships, our career and our relationship with money and abundance."
