I realize this may be the first time we’re meeting, and you sharing your time and presence is something we don’t take lightly. We also know relationships are built on trust, so as much as we hope you’ll be able to have your own wonderfully positive and beneficial experience, here are some things others have kindly and graciously shared about their experiences with Christine…

I quickly realized how much value you had packed into the sessions, and you exceeded every expectation on every level. Our relationship has benefited, as has my relationship with our adult children and grandchildren. Bret and Christine have hearts of pure gold....and the love they extend into the world is having its effect and now we all can catch that beautiful energy and multiply it out even further. Your support of all of us is exceptional.

I love catching the contagious, authentic positivity and love that Bret and Christine give out. Christine and Bret really encourage us to find and celebrate the gifts we each have within us, so we can all emerge as our very different and amazing selves. We pick up so much misinformation from our upbringings, our education and our culture that we really need this... The tools I have learned have turned around decades of old patterns for me and my partner.

Just want to say thank you, Christine. I feel like a new soul, tears of joy as I write this. This has truly changed my life, and I am so honored and blessed by it. You are truly a light in this world, bless you. Your love, joy, and passion is SO contagious. Thank you so much for sharing your light. You have truly changed my life in so many ways, and I can’t wait to continue my journey.

Christine and Bret are both so thoughtful, bright, and informed. They then temper that knowledge with a compassion so tangible that it often breaks my heart or hits me over the head with ‘Yeah, that right there.’ Thanks for bringing me along with you.

Christine is a living example that it’s possible to live in and be in the energy of presence, love and joy. Thank you for the inspiration! Much much much love!

Christine embodies every ounce of love and compassion you would want in a teacher. She is so wise and full of infinite love for all she connects with. Christine is a brilliant facilitator of pure joy and celebration of self within a space of deep healing and expansion!

Christine is a literal beacon of joy that makes it easy to learn and connect and receive and give and all the things we as human beings need.

I feel like I’ve gained so much wisdom and knowledge from Bret and Christine that will change my life forever. I have a better understanding of people, human behavior, and why we do the things we do. Owning this knowledge and being able to spread it to others is a dream come true! And I couldn’t have asked for better mentors!!! Bret and Christine are AWESOME!

You are divine. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world. The spirals you have created will move through eternity! Christine is a brightly shining sunshine radiating joy, love, and gratitude. The strength of her own personal practice and beautiful intentions inspire and motivate the lights of others around.
