Testimonials

I started working with Christina in January 2018. Since then, we have built a strong relationship full of guidance and support. Christina has provided me with specific tools I can implement in my life to better my well-being and approach to living a healthier, more mindful life. Specifically, her Mindful Month Take-Homes have provided insights and support with incorporating meditative practices as well as specific ways I can better manage my energy and live a holistically healthier life. They are something I reference often. I have enjoyed working with Christina very much over the last year, and it has helped to encourage me to transform my life and to understand that I am truly in control of my thoughts, emotions and energy.

Christina has a positive, uplifting energy that is contagious every time I speak with her. She creates a safe space that I can open up in and pushes me to think about what is possible beyond my limits. I’ve enjoyed our monthly check-ins and have stretched my creative and business goals because of them!
