Hey… I’m Christina
And what I enjoy doing the very most is to lovingly nudge people in the direction of their potential. I’ve been told that I have the ability to quickly get to the heart of the matter. So my desire to help people uncover their best self comes naturally to me. I’ve always been that automatically trusted confidant, easy to talk to kind of girl. I am comfortable hanging out with emotions and I adore eye to eye meaningful conversation. Being a life coach is as natural to me as peanut butter is to bacon – they are perfectly well suited!
The uncovering of our best selves, or life shifts, are wonderful to witness. Life shifts can be stressful, scary and outright daunting. And trust me, I know first hand just how intimidating this all can be! I can safely say that my life path has handed me some challenging moments … and while each and every moment challenged me I navigated as best I could while embodying a mindset that everything is figuroutable.
I look forward to what each day brings, good or not so good. I have loving, authentic relationships in my life and at the same time I love what I find myself doing everyday. I can honestly say that I have found my niche and it is all about helping others uncover their best self.
