I help people of faith navigate life’s challenges and discover a secure identity grounded in hope, and purpose.
Who I Help
I work with adults who feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about their next chapter in life. Many have experienced adverse childhood experiences, relational wounds, grief, trauma, or spiritual abuse that have left them questioning their identity, purpose, and ability to trust themselves.
Often, these experiences lead people to become disconnected from their emotions, their intuition, and even their own bodies. They may find themselves repeating old patterns, struggling with decision-making, feeling overwhelmed, or sensing that something is missing, despite their efforts and desires to move forward.
If you are longing for greater clarity, healing, and a deeper understanding of who you truly are, you don’t have to navigate that journey alone.
What You Can Expect
Together, we move beyond revisiting the past and focus on creating meaningful transformation in the present. My goal for you is not simply symptom management, but helping you create lasting change and becoming the fullest expression of who you were created to be. Through a trauma-informed, holistic approach, I help clients reconnect with themselves on every level; mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and biological.
As we work together, you can expect to:
Training, Experience & Approach
Christine is a Certified Transformational and Trauma-Informed Coach and a Certified Integrative Somatic Practitioner. Her professional training is complemented by personal experience navigating her own healing from the effects of neglect, abuse, and trauma.
Through that journey, she discovered there is no single path to healing. Lasting transformation requires patience and self-compassion while addressing your whole self. We must address thoughts and behaviors, but also the nervous system, emotions, body, relationships, and spiritual life. Christine continues to pursue advanced education and training in areas that support growth for herself and clients for whom she is blessed to join on their journey.
She is passionate about helping others reconnect with their authentic selves and experience the freedom, clarity, and purpose that become possible when healing occurs from the inside out. She believes the greatest gift we can give the next generation is to heal our own wounds so we can live and connect from a place of wholeness.
Personal Endeavors
Outside her passion of embodying all the values of being a life coach, Christine adds balance to her life by spending time in nature, and connecting with loved ones. She has three adult children and three active grandsons of whom she enjoys being their biggest cheerleader. She breaks up her seasons of work, rest, and play by traveling and experiencing somewhere new, preferably internationally.
The topics listed under each series are only suggestions based on where people may be in their process of healing or transformation. This is your journey, so we can customize or repeat a series, or work in any topic area that benefits you for as many sessions as you like.

While both coaching and counseling can support personal growth and wellbeing, they serve different purposes.
Counseling is a mental health profession that focuses on diagnosing and treating emotional, psychological, and behavioral concerns. Counselors and therapists help clients address issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and other mental health concerns. Counseling often involves exploring past experiences to facilitate healing and recovery.
Coaching is a collaborative, future-focused process designed to help clients gain clarity, overcome obstacles, and move toward meaningful goals. Rather than diagnosing or treating mental health conditions, coaches partner with clients to increase self-awareness, identify strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and create actionable steps for growth and change.
As a Trauma-Informed Coach and Integrative Somatic Practitioner, I help clients understand how past experiences may be influencing their present lives while focusing on building the awareness, skills, and capacity needed to move forward with greater confidence, purpose, and resilience.
Coaching is not a substitute for counseling, therapy, or mental health treatment. If a client’s needs fall outside the scope of coaching, I encourage them to seek support from a licensed mental health professional.
– Your status is relatively stable and you’re able to focus towards the future.
– You’re seeking to grow in your personal or professional development.
– You are willing to explore your potential with a desire to think beyond where you currently are.
– You are willing to accept another person’s insight or feedback and open to new perspectives.
– You’re ready to commit to the coaching process and make changes to achieve your goals if necessary.
Somatics is a broad field of study that focuses on the connection between the mind and body. It emphasizes developing awareness of internal bodily sensations, movements, emotions, and nervous system responses. The goal of somatics is to help people better understand and connect with their lived experience from the inside out.
Somatic Work refers to the methods and approaches practitioners use to apply somatic principles in a coaching, therapeutic, or educational setting. Depending on a practitioner’s training, this may include body awareness exercises, nervous system regulation techniques, movement, breathwork, guided inquiry, touch-based approaches, and psycho-education. Somatic work helps clients recognize patterns held in the body and develop greater capacity for healing, resilience, and self-awareness.
Somatic Practices are the specific exercises or activities used to cultivate mind-body awareness. These may include breathing exercises, mindfulness, grounding techniques, movement practices, body scans, meditation, and other awareness-based activities. Similar to a self-care, spiritual, or mindfulness practice, somatic practices can be used during sessions and integrated into daily life to support ongoing wellbeing and nervous system regulation.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path”
Proverbs 3: 5-6
The last 12 weeks Christine and I have worked on my post-traumatic growth. Before I started coaching I was overwhelmed with suppressed memories depressed and confused about why I couldn’t handle all of the stress in my life. I felt hopeless.
I am extremely satisfied with my coaching experience. I’ve been more present in my relationships and my life. I have learned how to be aware of my emotions, not afraid of them, understand them. I have hope in my life, and I have learned to love myself and not subconsciously feel like I’m a bad person. I have also learned to use my voice and not shrug everything off and let things fester.
Overall, my coaching experience has improved the quality/perspective of my life with my husband, children, grandchildren and friends and family! I feel like I don’t have to control my whole life and every aspect of it. I feel lighter and free. I also have learned tools to help me when I do feel overwhelmed/stressed.
I had never believed in, or pictured myself needing counseling or coaching. I felt it was for people that were weak, which sounds so mean, but I guess that was part of my arrogance showing up, that has been hard to admit. I’ve only just begun, but if I’m feeling this good, I can’t wait for the the next 12 weeks!
I have completed a coaching series with Christine. This is exactly what I have been looking for! I have done therapy for several years, but I was tired of having to revisit my past trauma. I needed tools and to move forward and this is what the program did for me. I realized I have been settling in my personal relationships, my ‘inner committee’ had been tormenting me every day causing fear, anxiety and to doubt myself in the decisions I make. I have been able to get closer to God and my faith has grown so much. I have been making life changing decisions and no longer settling in my relationships, career, with myself and I have been trusting God. This program has changed my life. Thank you so much Christine.
I sought out coaching with Christine while I was going through my divorce this last year. It helped keep me grounded in forward thinking while I continued working with my counselor on dealing with my anger. The work I did in coaching helped me look at my old pattern behaviors and why I was stuck. I was able to discover new tools to help me make better choices for my future. When I’m stressed now I’m incorporating new ways of thinking and lifestyle habits. I always leave our sessions more encouraged and hopeful about where I am in life.
I have struggled with communication issues with certain loved ones in my life and had been trying to figure it out on my own for so long. I decided it was time to receive some help. The life coaching I’ve been doing with Christine has helped so much by offering a perspective outside of my own. With use of the enneagram tool, and most importantly the reminder that I’m not alone as I walk with Jesus have made big changes in how I see myself and therefore respond in my relationships. I wake up everyday now with a new train of thought and valuable tools that I have received with the help of my life coach. As of right now, my future looks more positive than I’ve seen possibly ever before. Much thanks to Christine, my family, and The Lord Jesus!
Christine brought a calm, caring presence and shared practical, relevant tools to support survivors of trauma and domestic abuse. Her personal experience and thoughtful delivery made a meaningful impact on our group. She’s a valuable resource and a compassionate speaker.
