Prior to and during her degree, she dove deeply into flower essence therapy and energetic medicine, which she continues to use to this day.

Since 1997, she has immersed herself in trans-personal development, including The Work of Byron Katie and Family Constellations, which she also shares with her clients through 1:1 and group sessions, workshops, and at Beautiful Humans’ Retreats. These spaces are created for health and healing for all.

Twenty years ago, Christine was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a pain syndrome of unknown origin, as well as rheumatoid arthritis. She believes she had unknowingly always had this mildly throughout her childhood and young adult life, as she always felt pain in her body and thought pain and fatigue were normal for everyone. When her first daughter was born, the pain was in full swing. As there is no ‘cure’ for this condition, she had to step into her own life path to find a solution. Alongside mind-body practices and profoundly healing workshops and mind-body training. Also signing up for naturopathy in Melbourne at Endeavour College of Natural Health, earning a Bachelor in Health Science.

Now, pain-free and the healthiest and most energetic she has ever been in her 50s, Christine is able to support many patients with pain and anxiety from a holistic approach, using natural medicine and mind-body work. This is her passion and life's work—her "Why."

She is a proud mother and has a strong connection to the earth, animals, and her community. Lives with her 2 children 2 dogs and partner in West Footscray.
