LIFE COACHING

Get clear.
Move forward.

For those who feel a gap between who they are and how they're living.
Cut the noise, face what’s actually in your way, and do something about it.

THE FIT

The Right Fit

This work is for people who want to move thoughtfully, not forcefully — refining who they are and creating tangible shifts toward meaningful success.

This Work Is For You If…

Even one of these feels familiar

You overthink everything, and all that analysis still isn’t getting you unstuck.

You set the goal, make the plan, and still don’t follow through the way you mean to.

You take care of everyone and everything else, and your own health or needs keep landing at the bottom of the list.

You keep having the same fight, just with different words.

You’re overworked and standing still at the same time — busy all day and burnt out, but not moving toward anything that’s actually yours.

You’ve outgrown the way you’ve been living, but haven’t figured out what comes next.

THE PROCESS

Coaching With Me

Coaching with me is a partnership centered on shifting and sharpening your mindset. We work to surface what’s influencing your choices, clarify what alignment means for you, and translate insight into deliberate action you can follow through on.

This work isn’t about fixing you or forcing change. It’s about strengthening your decision-making, clearing thoughts and beliefs that are blocking your success, and creating change that fits your ideal life.

Each session, you’ll come prepared with a specific topic you want to work on that day. It can build on the previous week or be something entirely new. The more intentional you are coming in, the more you’ll get out of it. All sessions are held virtually, so whether you’re in San Diego or across the country, we can work together.

THE COACH

About Christine

I’m a Certified Professional Coach trained through an ICF-accredited program and an Energy Leadership™ Index Master Practitioner. Before coaching, I spent over 12 years as a structural engineer — and the two disciplines inform each other more than you’d expect. Both are about understanding the forces at work, respecting how things behave, and building something that holds up over time. I bring that same rigor to coaching, paired with the reflection and self-awareness the work requires.

My coaching approach is shaped not only by formal training, but by lived experience – navigating change, uncertainty, and challenging moments that required me to slow down, reflect, and choose how I wanted to move forward. Through that process, I learned how much our internal state, how we interpret situations and where our energy goes, shapes everything from our mindset to our outcomes. That understanding is at the core of how I work with clients.

TESTIMONIALS

What Clients Are Saying

I recently had a coaching session with Christine, and I'm really glad I did. Since she also comes from an engineering background, I felt like she truly understood a lot of the pressure, overthinking, and internal struggles that can come with that world.

At first, I honestly wasn't even sure what I wanted to focus on during the session. But through Christine's thoughtful questions, validation, and ability to really acknowledge what I was feeling, we uncovered some deeper things I needed to work through within myself. The conversation helped reconnect me to who I am, how I want to live my life, and what may be holding me back from that.

By the end of the session, we had identified a few small but meaningful steps I could take to start moving forward and work through the fears that have been keeping me stuck. I left feeling seen, supported, and more grounded. I'm excited to continue the work.

Being a retired senior, I was pretty comfortable with my current activities and vague future goals. I was skeptical about the prospect of life coaching improving my life. Boy, was I wrong! Christine has met with me and I have been able to clearly articulate a future vision for myself. More importantly, she gave me the tools to define those priorities and help me as I navigate my everyday life.

— Patrick D.

Christine is a remarkably intuitive coach. She was deeply attuned to both my needs and my energy, and she adjusted her style in a way that felt thoughtful and responsive rather than formulaic.

At a moment when I had a lot of moving pieces and competing priorities, she helped me slow down, find focus amid the chaos, and reconnect with what actually matters most right now. Our work together helped me channel my energy more intentionally and move forward with much greater clarity.

— Sasha Z.

I had the pleasure of working with Christine through a 6 month coaching journey. She always showed up with a calming presence and very thoughtful approach to whatever it was I brought to the table. She has an intuitive ability to cut through the noise and helped me get to the root of what I was struggling with. I'm thankful I had the opportunity to work with Christine and feel confident she would be an asset to other clients seeking help overcoming life's challenges big or small.

— Katie P.

Christine was amazing to work with! I loved how much Christine was able to broaden my perspective on how to overcome challenges internally. I love her emphasis on allowing yourself to truly feel your emotions.
