About Doctor Christiane
You’re not here to do more. You’re here to do it aligned.
You are in the right place
I’ve supported over 10,000 students, written three books, and earned a Ph.D.
But what matters most?
Helping you take big ideas and turn them into doable steps that actually fit your life.
You don’t have to do it all. You just have to begin, and I’m here for that. I’ve got you.

Hello there,
I’m Dr. Christiane Schroeter
Ph.D., bestselling author, speaker, and creator of The Petite Practice™.
But before all that, I was overworked, overthinking, and quietly burning out, even while “succeeding.”
I know what it’s like to check all the boxes and still wonder: Why doesn’t this feel like enough?
That question changed everything.
You don’t need to hustle harder to grow
You need a practice that makes your brilliance visible.
Small moves. Real traction. Results that feel like you.
You are doing everything right. So, why doesn’t it feel better?
I know what it’s like to make it all look good from the outside.
The credentials. The to-do lists. The back-to-back wins.
And still wonder: Why doesn’t this feel better?
For years, I followed the hustle. The prove-yourself path. The “more is better” model.
Until I realized what I needed wasn’t another productivity tool.
I needed a new rhythm.
One that let me breathe.
One that let me grow without breaking.
One that actually fit me.
What is a Petite Practice™?
A tiny, joy-fueled habit that creates big, beautiful momentum in your life and business—no hustle required.
Created by Dr. Christiane, your visibility coach with a vanilla latte in hand.

How it all started…
My story gave me the tools. Now I use them to help you grow with clarity, alignment, and confidence.
1999
The big leap
Moved from Germany to the U.S. on a Fulbright Scholarship.
Gained a new life and full permission to start over.
That’s where I found my voice and learned how to help you find yours.
2005
Degrees and deeper questions
Earned a Ph.D. in Health Economics.
Studied what actually drives behavior change.
It’s not force. It’s structure that fits. That’s what I help you build.
2012
Where Theory Met Reality
While teaching and raising a family, I saw how even the best strategies crumble without space to breathe.
That moment shaped the Petite Practice™, a way to grow that honors your energy, your season and your pace.
2023
The Mic Goes On
Launched my Top 1% ranked Happy Healthy Hustle podcast to bring clarity-driven conversations to the surface.
It became a space for big ideas and small steps. That same clarity sparked my three books to help you get unstuck, get visible, and move forward with structure that fits.
Today
Walking the talk
Helping entrepreneurs get visible without burning out and finally build businesses that feel like them.
Because clarity isn’t a one-time win. It’s a practice.
Small steps. Real progress. Big life.
A Petite Peek
Get to know Christiane
01. My secret middle name is Paris.
And yes, I’m completely obsessed. The city. The energy. The language . All of it. Ooh la la.
02. I have a slight obsession with tea.
I can’t pass up the chance to discover a new blend. Reading labels. Imagining the ritual.
03. I’ve kept a 1,100+ day streak on Duolingo.
Books and languages are a daily part of my life. They keep me engaged and focused.
“Christiane introduced me to whole new way of thinking about business and marketing.”
“Christiane challenged me to think outside the box and expand my imagination. To this day, I continue to push my limits, dream bigger, and embrace every opportunity to grow.”
