"Working with Christina has been a life-changer for me. I’ve learned new skills and processes, embraced and polished others that had been laying dormant/ unacknowledged/ unappreciated for a long time, gained clarity about who I am, what matters to me and most importantly about how I want to live my life and spend my time."

Andrea Gibbons

"Christina’s unique manner of guiding and teaching people, was a really stimulating, empowering mix — allowing me to take off to new visual heights. I was deeply impressed and appreciative of her passionate, authentic, humorous and down-to-earth style. Her courtesy to share her immense know-how, and her business and marketing model were a real asset."

Heather Martinez

"I really enjoyed my 2-day private training with you. Thank you for teaching me how to work more visually, it was an intense learning experience that I enjoyed very much. Immediately upon returning home to Korea I’ve been using my new skills in my organizational work with clients. I’m delighted with how my clients are responding."

Young Sook Lee
Change Management Consultant
"What I love about my work with Christina is that I know I can trust her to follow her intuition and internal guidance as she helps me to reveal to myself what I might not quickly see on my own. She recognizes and honors that inspiration is important to me. It’s my work to do, but it’s really nice to have her by my side. We all have gifts to share with the world. I’m glad Christina shares hers, because she is helping me to share mine!"

Lisa Moore

I was also very impressed with Christina’s ability to create safe space, provide energetic support and accept each of us with a compassionate heart. Her openness to hearing and honoring the wisdom in the room, allowed all of us to be valued contributors."
