I aim to work with people in service and in the arts world to advance their personal lives and their careers. 

Why choose Coaching?

Coaching is about facilitating change that leads to desired results. My practice focuses on an individual’s life as it relates to dreams, outcome creation, and personal change management. If you feel like you need support in any of these fields, or if you feel stuck in making an important decision in your life, then coaching is right for you. My role is to assist you in deepening your learning, and help you move forward.

My Mission

I believe in the power of self-awareness and social awareness. Self-awareness is the fuel for self-development and growth, and it allows my clients to recognize what they need (and already have) to live a values-aligned life both personally and professionally. Social awareness is recognizing where and how we relate to others, and understanding what we can do with this knowledge to support positive environments around us. 

My approach is not to give advice, nor to sell a lifestyle, but to help each individuals figure out what will work for you based on your own personal experiences, values, and needs.

My goal is to help people working in the creative industries such as hospitality, freelance art, and similar careers to feel fulfilled and in control.

What I Offer

I understand the rewards, passions, and challenges of creative and restaurant work - the weird eating habits, late nights, substance abuse, and lack of set schedules and deadlines. The resources provided for folks in these industries are limited so I am here to offer support through my menu of services. I hope to help people create boundaries, a healthy work/life balance, and career advancement.

What folks are saying:

 

"Working with Christine has been so helpful for many different areas of my life. She really listens to what I'm saying and then prompts me to reach a conclusion by asking questions that make me dig deep within myself to answer. She's so caring and kind and only wants the best for her clients! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to achieve their goals and learn more about themselves!" -Sydney O.

“Christine is an amazing coach. During the past few months, she has helped me navigate some very important life decisions and work through my self-doubts by asking very powerful questions and listening at the third level. What I love the most about her coaching style is that she bases her coaching around the client's values and is very good at keeping her own values aside when coaching. She was also a master at getting me to arrive at my own solutions vs. advising me on what I should do. She truly believes in empowering her clients.

Christine is open, approachable, relatable, and honest. She is not afraid to explore deep emotions that may scare others and this helped us find root causes instead of staying on the surface. The space she created for me during our coaching sessions and her empathetic presence were priceless. I always felt that she was in my corner and was cheering for me.

I owe a lot to Christine and her coaching and can recommend her to anyone who's looking to gain more clarity and achieve tremendous growth in life. I wish her the very best!” -Sabrina S

“Working with Christine has changed my life. It is an hour of me-time where I get to sort out my personal goals and professional goals. She keeps me on track to commit to the actions I want to take to be my best self. She is so compassionate and can pick up on things I say and reflect them back to me in such a way that gives me new insight that I would not be able to see on my own. With Christine keeping me accountable I am much farther in my goals than I have been in my life. Chatting with Christine is my favourite time of the week.” - Erica G.

“Christine’s coaching has been a real help to me during a time of major transition in my life. She has helped me to realize that change is possible and helped me get to a place where I have more control over myself. I learned I am my worst enemy, and as a result, am doing what I can to maintain better habits. Thanks to Christine I feel less hopeless and more positive.” -Josh G.
