As a second generation holocaust survivor, I was dealing with inner deep pain for a long time. This was intensified after the death of my beloved father. As VP of Operations in the company I work for I received the gift of leadership mentoring by Christine. I expected to be mentored on my leadership skills; instead I found my life profoundly transformed in the most amazing ways by Christine’s mentoring. After one meeting she identified in a very gentle way, yet unbelievable way, my deepest pains. Pains I was hiding and not dealing with for long years. Putting the most beautiful mirror in front of me she walked beside me as I began transforming my life in a very short time, and in ways, I never thought possible. She utilized her listening skills and her way of softly guiding me towards healing. No one has ever been able to help me improve my life the way Christine has, and I will be forever grateful and thankful for how she improved my life and my well-being. – A. Kost

Christine writes with intention and intuition. Her words flow in an unusual way but convey exactly what a person is and what needs to be told. I asked Christine to write my mother’s life story even though they had never met. The finished piece was amazing in its accuracy and brought my mother back to life for me if only for a few minutes. I am so very thankful to Christine for this gift of my mother’s story. Christine has a unique gift and I pray she continues to share it with others. – B. J. Ferry
Christine has a gift for being fully present with those facing death, and their loved ones. She openly offers them a forum to share what is important, to talk about favorite memories, to laugh and to cry. By doing so, she discovers the heart of what makes them unique, then with great thoughtfulness and care, pens a tangible, lasting legacy for loved ones to cherish. – M. Soule

Christine has a special talent and I’ll use her again if the need arises.- C. Arenas
