How Does Coaching Work?

Coaching is defined by the International Coaching Federation as:

“Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership”.

Modern approach, Modern solutions

It's common in our hectic and stressful lives to feel stretched thin, overworked, unproductive, buried under expectations and demands, burnt out, and exhausted. All of this leaves us consistently putting our own needs and wants last, and the brutal cycle continues. I empower professionals to clarify what is important to them, use strategies to manage stress and burnout, and create a work-life balance where they feel in control of their time and energy.

What People Are Saying

“Working with Christie I’m seeing my ability to handle stress improve dramatically. I'm much more able to identify problems and then address them in real-time where I couldn't before, which has done wonders for my mental health. My days are much better organized so I can actually take time off and not feel guilty or forget to take time off like I used to. Christie has helped guide me through these areas. I've improved my self-confidence and especially my self-awareness to new levels. Christie creates a safe space to work within and if I hit a trouble spot I now see that as a challenge to work through rather than something to avoid, which speaks to her and her positive style that makes working with her super enjoyable!”

-Terrance R., Corporate Manager

“Working with Christie was immensely helpful for my professional growth as an early career private practice therapist. She helped me identify boundaries I could set that made my work load more sustainable, and helped me structure my weekly schedule such that I didn't feel like I was always behind and in a rush. Working with Christie helped me shift from a fear-based to an abundance-based mindset, and make decisions for my practice based on my goals and values rather than my fears. My burnout has decreased and my work-life balance is much better. I highly recommend Christie's coaching services!”

-Cassidy B., Therapist in Private Practice

“Christie is an incredibly effective and compassionate coach, I can't recommend her services enough! She has helped me move forward in various areas of my life with clarity and strength. Christie has a talent for getting to the root of what I'm really struggling with and makes me feel seen in the process. I always walk away from our sessions feeling empowered and ready to conquer life's challenges with actionable next steps.”

-Ashanti G., Fortune 500 Company Recruiter

  • “From our first coaching session, I knew I was in good hands. Christie is caring, intuitive, and responsive. Her insights helped me clarify my ideas and plan of action.

    Christie also assisted me by breaking down my goals into bite-sized actions. I am so appreciative of her words of wisdom. “

    -Rose J., Clinical Social Worker

  • “Each week I came away from my session with Christie with a new perspective, an inspiring new approach, or a clarifying realization that helped me take the next step. She provided the validation and warmth I needed to feel safe enough for my authentic creative self to show up.”

    -Tatiana M., Entrepreneur

  • “It has been my great pleasure to receive coaching from Christie. Working with her, I’ve achieved challenging career objectives, improved personal and professional areas, and found greater balance in my life. Her techniques allow your strengths to be realized, your journey to be appreciated and a greater sense of purpose to be obtained. I am a more confident and fulfilled individual today as a result of Christie’s coaching.

    Thank you Christie for your support!”

    -Sophie H., Admissions Director

  • “Christie is a true professional with a kind heart. She listens thoroughly, encourages when needed, and points to a different perspective as needed too. What I love most about Christie is her ability to talk you through issues given her therapy background but also help create an action oriented game plan that’s forward looking. I found few professionals versatile enough to do both. She’s great with mindset, self care, and is just a pleasure to work with. I definitely recommend her!”

    -Jonathan G., Entrepreneur

  • “Christie is a fantastic coach! She respects my need for serious contemplation, while also helping me lighten up when I am ridiculously over thinking things, so I can actually move forward. Christie listens with full attention and deep compassion. Her insightful questions cut straight to the heart of the problem, help me rethink assumptions, and lead me to new perspectives and expanded options. I was quite reluctant to engage with coaching, but my burnout was bad enough that I quit my job without a plan for what to do next. Christie helped me figure out how to get back to work in a way that I expect to be sustainable. Christie’s combination of professionalism, thoughtfulness, skill, and compassion allow me to give her my highest possible recommendation.”

    -Erik W., Anesthesiologist/M.D.

  • “Christie has coached me through several personal and professional challenges. She has a way of listening through all the messy details to pose questions around the thread that helps provide focus and clarity. She creates a space that encourages growth and vulnerability. She is genuine in her curiosity and caring, and her coaching has led me to so many personal insights. I look forward to each session because I know I will come away with something valuable.”

    -Stephanie M., Educator

  • “Christie is empathic, a great listener, and full of knowledge and resources when it comes to setting you on a successful path. She walked me through my woes, and inspired in me more confidence, self-kindness, and optimism. Give her a shout!”

    -Josh M., Software Engineer

  • “Christie's coaching helped me learn more about myself as I talked through several issues with her. She is a great listener and her questions helped me clarify my thinking and sparked things I had not thought of. I often thought, "That is a great question." I immediately felt comfortable with her because of her calm presence and desire to help me work through an issue. She's empathetic and is also not afraid to push my thinking, which I appreciated. I highly recommend Christie's coaching services.”

    -Chandra V., Educator

  • ”Christie was a very helpful coach. She has great skill in holding space to help the client find their own answers. There were several times in our work that I felt like I wanted Christie to just “give me an answer” - and to her credit: she didn’t! Instead, she held compassionate space and gently helped me look within and come to my own conclusions. That is a mark of a seasoned professional. Thanks for all your help Christie!”

    -Jason M., Therapist in Private Practice

  • “Working with Christie as my coach has been a truly enlightening experience. Christie has a remarkable ability to hold space in a way that creates a safe and nurturing environment for exploration. Her calm and composed presence is incredibly reassuring, making every session a tranquil and productive experience. Christie's gift lies in her skillful questioning. She has a way of asking questions that lead me to explore possibilities and insights far beyond what my own mind alone would allow. Her questions are thought-provoking and encourage deep reflection, which has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth.”

    -Alison M., Entrepreneur

  • “Christie is a fantastic coach; it was a pleasure working with her. A true professional and master of her craft. I cannot stress that strongly enough. Definitely worth your time and money to set up some sessions with Christie.”

    -Ross C., Marketing Specialist

  • “Thank you so much for the resources and being a listening ear for me. This was a great session. The questions you posed really makes me give deeper thought into protecting my work/life balance. Success can be so much harder to visualize when you are burned out and in constant survival mode. Also, a big thank you for giving me kudos on the work I didn't even realize that I have done to advocate for myself.”
