YOUR ‘NEXT SELF’ IS IN YOU … JUST WAITING TO BE DRAWN OUT!
Dear SHIFTer:
At a current crossroads? Ready for your next chapter? If so, you’ve come to the right place!
I’m Christina Merkley, The SHIFT-IT Coach and I help creative individuals, couples and biz partners manifest their professional and personal goals.
At different time in our lives we are ready to create a new chapter for ourselves. Harvesting what’s good from our history and building upon it — perhaps going for a radical SHIFT or just a subtle, more fulfilling tweak.
Whatever the desired degree of change, I help you create your SHIFT via private, confidential coaching tailored to your specific needs.
Christina Working Visually With Clients on Personal Strategic Planning
If you are new to my work, I invite you to browse my site … it has a wealth of information about my SHIFT-IT work and philosophy.
From it, you’ll see that I’m a pioneer in “Visual Coaching” … using interactive-visual techniques to help you SEE deep within yourself … to make informed decisions and move forward powerfully.
Lilia Lee Online Biz Strategist & Shamanic Apprentice
GUIDANCE NOT ONLY ON AN OUTWARD LEVEL BUT ALSO THE MEANS FOR ME TO CHANGE MY INNER MINDSET
“I’ve worked with Christina as my mentor and guide in several capacities: Fundamentals of Interactive-Visuals, SHIFT-IT Online Group, a 6-month business incubator and now private coaching.
Before her, I’d been forever scratching my head about my business and next steps. Frustrated that I couldn’t formulate my ideas well enough to get the pieces together and move forward. Never had time to flesh it out and make it real.
Working with her is the best thing I have done for my business success. Guidance not only on an outward level but also the means for me to change my inner mindset … clearing the negative programming that had plagued me for so long. I’ve grown on a spiritual level as a whole person, something other business teachers/coaches have ignored. My development as a shamanic apprentice is encouraged and she’s helped me to see how to incorporate all aspects of me into what I do.
I highly recommend working with Christina in any capacity you are called to. Worth every penny I invested!”

Since 1995, I’ve worked with 1000s of people from across the globe (within corporations, organizations, community groups, biz partnerships and with couples and individuals). I’ve had the pleasure of assisting many different kinds of people create many different types of things, experiences and lifestyles.
After many years of ‘being on the road’ as a traveling facilitation professional, I now make my base in the charming city of Victoria, British Columbia on the beautiful west coast of Canada – where clients travel to me or we work by phone and/or online. Using my signature SHIFT-IT Visual Coaching System®.
An important thing to know about me is that in addition to working from a very practical and rational mind (honed from decades in strategic planning) I also operate from a very deep Law of Attraction perspective. It is my belief that we are all creators of our own reality by how we habitually think and feel – and my visual methods literally SHOW you how you are doing that.
Nowadays most of my clients engage with me via my popular group programs: The SHIFT-IT Online Group, Thrive in the Time of Awakening, Fundamentals of Interactive-Visuals, Visual Coach Certification and Magic Marker Mastermind.
However, some clients still prefer to have direct access to me via private coaching. They aren’t ‘group people’, the times of the programs don’t work for their schedule, or they just prefer to have my resources turned fully on them in a confidential setting. As much as I enjoy groups, I also LOVE working one-to-one … so I preserve some space in my schedule to accommodate private clients when I can.
Tamsyn Hawkins Branding & Archetype Consultant
SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITIONED MY CORPORATE MARKETING & SALES CAREER INTO SUSTAINABLE, ENJOYABLE CONSULTING PRACTICE
“I’ve had the privilege of Christina’s support since 2007. She’s a generous teacher/coach and savvy businesswoman who knows her stuff and delivers for her clients. I was initially attracted to her Law of Attraction (LOA) perspective via her SHIFT-IT System® and was later accepted into her Biz and Life Accelerator, which I massively benefited from. I successfully transitioned my corporate marketing and sales career into a sustainable consulting practice (more freedom of hours, work and client type) and also significantly shifted some challenging personal relationships. I’ve also studied Christina’s pioneering interactive-graphics methods — now employing visuals in my branding and archetype speciality including developing my own line of visual templates to better serve my clients! Christina has a knack for attracting really interesting and collaborative people and I have made great friends from across the globe (another goal achieved). I absolutely love working with her and highly recommend her coaching and teaching programs.”

ABLE TO RELEASE YEARS OF PAIN & GUILT. IN AWE OF CHRISTINA’S SOOTHING YET POWERFUL COACHING
“Before becoming a client of Christina’s I was very much stuck in limiting thought patterns. While working through Christina’s SHIFT-IT program I was able to uncover and heal the one thing that had kept me from stepping into the life that I truly wanted to live. I was able to release years of pain and guilt. This discovery and healing lead me to the path that I am on today. I am in awe of Christina’s soothing yet powerful coaching style. Through her work, Christina continues to challenge me to shift to my next level of success. I believe there are certain people that divinely come into our lives and change the course of our paths. Christina has been that person in my life.”

In Your Words: What Clients Say About Christina’s SHIFT-IT Coaching…
“Christina’s graphic facilitation work takes coaching to a new level of expression and connection with clients. I just attended a local workshop she hosted (after reading her article in the CTI newsletter) — truly a valuable way of expressing ideas and working with clients. One of the most interesting courses I have ever taken. The sky is the limit as to how I will be applying graphics to my practice. I’ve already had two very successful experiences with clients using what she taught me, and it’s only been two weeks since the workshop!”
- Shannan Brown, ACC, Coach, Campbell River, BC Canada
“What a powerful way to shift my life into a state of achievement rather then staying in a dreaming or aspirational state. Its tough but rewarding work – come ready and willing to grow.”
- Lisa Morgan, Change Management Consultant, Calgary AB
“Great coach. Positive & encouraging coaching style. Lovely location. An adventure in learning. 2 days of focused attention – Christina broke her methods down for me into manageable pieces and segments. I left with greater confidence in my ability to become a successful graphic facilitator. Within days of returning home I had completed three of my action steps to move my business to the next level and gotten just the results I intended.”
- Sue Keely, Graphic Facilitator, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A.
“The whole session was excellent. Well thought out, good pacing, good mix of talk and hands on, useful resources – and Christina was very encouraging and helpful. She also provides post-workshop coaching and has shown a real interest in her students’ progress. Great to have a generous pro like her here in Canada. My confidence is growing and I’m stepping out as a graphic recorder and facilitator. Exciting!”
- Avril Orloff, Graphic Recorder, Vancouver, British Columbia
“I’ve had two experiences with SHIFT-IT in the last 6 months. I’ve fully manifested my first vision already – it actually started to really form in just two months time. Cute new place to live, clarity and commitment around education next steps (I’ve jumped into college again at 38 – am getting A’s! and am also going to California for Yoga certification), and I attracted a terrific guy – who was living across the street from me, but didn’t appear until after SHIFT-IT. Spookily amazing!”
- Wendy Crowther, Overseas English Teacher (Korea) integrating back home after a decade abroad. Victoria, BC
- Judi Adams, Adams & Adams Consulting Inc., San Diego. USA
“Working with Christina is the best investment I’ve made in myself. I needed a life-coach who held me accountable, asked the hard questions and encouraged me to look at the life I really want to create. Christina did this and so much more. Her graphic applications gave me an insightful snapshot of where I’d been and where I’m going. I regularly implement her “Take action Plan” and focus on the top three priorities in my life to achieve maximum satisfaction. Christina skillfully guided me through her process and my life has truly shifted for the better. So far I’ve changed my mindset about personal health and have dropped 6 pounds. Plus, I am regularly attracting business contacts that not only increase my visibility but also increase my profitability. If you do one thing for yourself, make this it!”
- Lisa Manyon, Professional Copywriter and Consultant, www.writeoncreative.com
“Christina, this has been a life changing weekend – brought me the Law of Attraction tools I have been looking for to assist me in my evolutionary process. The visual materials were very powerful and knowing I had The SHIFT-IT Retreat Kit to return to again and again, made me relax and not worry that I had to ‘get it all and get it now’.”
- Kerry Chalmers, Realtor, Salt Spring Island, BC
“After 2.5 days I have a clear vision for my future and the tools, skills and resources to attract it. The location, group members, graphic work, the safe space – all were wonderful. I so appreciate your SHIFT-IT process as I now have the scaffolding I need to expand into my Future Self. I am leaving my SHIFT-IT Weekend Intensive completely inspired.”
- Terry Ash, Facilitator/Inter-cultural Communication Consultant,
Port Townsend, WA
TRAVELED FROM THE UK — WORTH EVERY PENNY!“I traveled from the UK to work one-on-one with Christina and it was worth every penny. The power of seeing my life and beliefs drawn out of me — no room to hide because I created the picture of the new direction I want. There is a clear process and journey when you work with Christina and if you are committed to really shift your life you can expect amazing results in a short period of time. I’ve revamped my diversity consulting business – re-designed my website, offerings and pricing structure – to serve the populations I like best. I’ve signed up for her Manifestation Mastermind which I expect to be another life changing programme (starts after my Caribbean vacation – more time spent there was part of my visioning!). – I can’t wait. Thanks Christina.”
- Sonya Welch-Moring, Diversity Coach/Consultant, London, UK

“After coaching with Christina Merkley, all I can say is, ‘Wow!’ If you haven’t noticed, there are coaches EVERYWHERE. It’s not easy to know if they are a good match or not. But because Christina is so entrenched in the Law of Attraction in a very real and human way she was able to reflect and shift my energy unlike I’ve ever experienced before. (And she does while keeping her sense of humor which is one of my key values.) I learned that when you are in emotional alignment, it’s easy to live the life you want. Everything after that just flows… What a freeing experience!”
- Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero, Red Hot Copy, Van Nuys, CA
“Coaching with Christina was truly a life-changing experience. I was stuck at the time and the Shift-It Process helped me to understand what steps to take next so I could move forward and reach my goals. Not only do I still use my maps on an annual basis for my personal and professional planning, I recommend her services and products to my clients all the time because I know they will benefit from such a visual coaching experience. The maps just make the growth so much more concrete and more effective. Thank goodness Christina does what she does!”
- Sheri McConnell, Sheri McConnell Companies, San Antonio, TX
“I’ve employed Christina Merkley as my coach on-and-off since 1998. Six months after she led me through a vision exercise where I imagined myself on the cover of a magazine, the real thing happened when I made it into Java World. Since then I’ve been covered in MIT Tech Review, The NY Times, Popular Science, and Motor Magazine and was nominated for a 2003 Corporate Award sponsored by the World Tech Network. Yeah, you could call this work effective! Now I’m working with her again to take it up to the next level.”
