Client Testimonials

“Just being in Christi’s nurturing company makes me feel better. She is an excellent coach. I learned to take care of myself physically and emotionally, especially in times of trauma or crisis. We met in the office which is comfortable, cozy, and well appointed. I especially like being able to see the trees outside the window. I absolutely would recommend coaching to others and have done so.”

“Christi brought Enneagram training to a cross section of leaders across the Eastern Shore at a recent leadership class through the Eastern Shore Leadership Institute.

Through self-reflection and interactive exercises, participants got a deep dive into understanding their motivations of why they do what they do, how they can work alongside other personalities and how they can influence their team and organization.

Her calm and engaging demeanor worked well in the classroom and made the class comfortable and at ease in the discussion.”

In their own words:

“I was referred to Christi during a very hard and confusing time in my life, but she turned that experience into one of the most empowering moments. In each session I learned so much about myself. She truly is a safe space and encouraged me to put in the work to make positive changes. We studied the Enneagram and other tools that I could use every day to continue my growth. I uncovered so much and felt the growth within myself. Even close family and friends noticed the positive changes and one of my own family members decided to seek counseling in her area. Christi is amazing at what she does, and I know she will always support me. Anyone would be lucky to work with her!”

-Samantha S.

“Christi was real, honest, compassionate about helping, patient, kind, and the list goes on. It was easy to get comfortable and start to be vulnerable with her. Her ability to listen, love, and problem solve was invaluable. She has wisdom, heart, and passion behind what she says and does. She sees people in a world that doesn’t always do so, especially when the person is struggling to acknowledge themselves.”

-Dawn C.

“Understanding some of the other Enneagram types and their fundamental ways of functioning helps me understand some of the places where there are disconnects between how I think/feel/act and how others act. It helps me to depersonalize certain things that otherwise could trigger my anxiety or could be easy for me to “take on” as my responsibility to “fix”. I cannot think of a single way to improve my experience with the material except to say I could have easily talked about the material for twice the time!”

-Melissa M.

“I would recommend coaching to others. I learned more about myself, digging deeper into my personality to figure out why I do the things I do. Ms. Christi was amazing and always just a phone call away when I needed her. I always left sessions feeling more positive than when I went in.”

-Henry C.
