I think it takes real skill to listen and assess people and ask the right questions. I feel Christine has a very deep understanding of human nature and is very gentle in her approach.
Even if you sign up and pay for this kind of coaching there can be resistance to change (for whatever reason) but I don’t ever feel like I’m being pushed in any way which is really refreshing. A lot of the time we feel we are being spoken down to by coaches, teachers, therapists etc. and Christine's approach is very collaborative and embracing rather than talking at me. Christine suggests rather than dictates and I love that because my inner A-type (who doesn’t take authority very well) would rebel against any forced change.
I also feel like Christine is on my team which is really important.
Maja Havemann
Maja has a successful career and has recently become a mom. Maja was looking for guidance in transitioning back to her career after some time off and wanted to ensure that she continued to maintain a good work/life balance.
Additionally, Maja wanted more awareness around her goals and how she could achieve them.
Alex Hartog
Alex is a single mom who was struggling and feeling a little lost. Alex was unsure if she had made the right decision to go back to university, she felt like she was procrastinating with the smallest tasks and felt very distant from the people closest to her.
Alex felt disorganised and felt that she had no goals set – not even a goal for the day let alone a goal for any future endeavors. Alex felt overwhelmed with life in general and the management thereof.
Whilst working with Christine, I have seen so many life changes happen in a short space of time. In general, having worked through my values and identifying key factors, I have become closer to my family and finding happiness in life as it is. Christine helped me get back to doing the things I love which motivated me to train for a triathlon – prep is well under way. I also continued through my applications to university which resulted in both universities short listing me and requesting further interviews and tests.
I learnt to schedule in time for personal development daily and I now feel more confident as a mom and human in general. I feel a lot more organised and have such gratitude towards this incredible opportunity that made this all possible.
​
Christine was professional and so friendly, making it easy to unpack the difficult stuff whilst not being judged. Even on the more difficult days, she held the space in a beautiful and professional manner.

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Christine and I cannot thank her enough.

I worked with Christine to address challenges I was facing as a working mother going through a life transition. She brought a wealth of resources and practical tools to help me set goals, clarify my values, and explore avenues right away. I appreciate Christine’s versatility as an ally, and coach.
Our sessions were productive and efficiently run, which is perfect for someone who is juggling many priorities!
Tim Matthews
Tim was struggling from burnout and lacking motivation in general
Before starting my sessions with Christine, I was experiencing severe burnout and just feeling unmotivated with life. I had never worked with a life coach before and was feeling slightly apprehensive when we started.
Christine was sympathetic to this and allowed me to set the pace of our discussions whilst also knowing when to challenge me to ensure I was moving forward.
Christine is encouraging and pragmatic in her approach and you just begin to feel more empowered as you keep going along the sessions. She has great ideas and tips around incorporating goals, healthy habits and structure into your life.
When I finished working with Christine I felt like I had done a 360 degree change in my life and I felt motivated and had direction again.
Christine is a great source and I will continue to recommend her to others

Working with Christine, I’ve achieved my challenging career objectives, improved both my personal and professional relationships, 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. ​
