SEI & RELATIONSHIP COACH

A magnificent life begins with

the decision to make a change

Change can be scary. We develop habits so that we have constants in our lives, a sense of security. But when that security keeps us stuck, it’s time to look at some changes.   

Let’s not make this complicated. What you want for yourself matters. You may have a sense of something you are missing but not know what it is. I help clients uncover WHAT they want and WHY. Having a partner in this process can help you decide what you need to do to make those changes.

Real change happens by you facing the discomfort of developing new habits. But you don’t need to go it alone.

She has helped me see myself more clearly, holding vision for me to see my capabilities and how I might move forward. I’ve gained compassion for myself through her caring and thoughtful insights. I carry myself with more respect and confidence, and I credit Christina’s guidance for how far I’ve come in my relationships and in my career. I really love working with her. -Brent R.

  • Christina creates a very secure space and has given me a place to talk and process, so I can find my own answers. Somehow, her nurturing manner has invited me to trust her, so I can discover more of what is going on with me. I really appreciate how much caring she has shown for me. Other words I would use to describe her approach: classy, affirming, and a sense of beauty. -J.R.

  • As an intensive one-on-one coach, Christina has helped me unlock new ways of being that I could only dream about. This was through sessions where she gently walked me through my feelings, helping me come to my own truths. She has held vision for me and is helping me live a more joyful and nourished life. Christina is an impactful coach, who can really see me, while holding vision for who I can become. I am grateful for her, not sure what my life would be like if I didn’t have her leadership in it! -Rebecca C.
