Cross cultural life coach
Be your own best friend
Welcome.
This is a space for coming home to yourself, for clarity, calm confidence, and inner alignment.
I work with individuals, leaders, teams, and students who find themselves between worlds:
Between cultures, identities, roles or life chapters. When life feels fragmented, pressured, or unclear, coaching becomes a place to pause, reconnect, and move forward from a grounded, resourceful place.
My work is rooted in one simple truth:
when you are aligned within yourself, life begins to flow more naturally in how you live, relate, experience world and lead.
When something inside is asking for change
You may recognize yourself here:
You feel stuck, overwhelmed, or out of sync with yourself or your surroundings
You are navigating a transition, personal, professional, or cultural
You sense that something no longer fits, but don’t yet know what comes next
You long for more clarity, calm, and confidence in how you show up
You want to live and work in a way that feels true, not forced
You don’t need to have the answers.
You only need the willingness to listen.

Why work with Christie
Born in Brazil and shaped by five countries, three continents, seven schools and three languages, I understand what it means to feel between worlds. That experience taught me that belonging is built from the inside out — and that lesson is the heart of my work.

Ik ervaar Christie als een zeer deskundige coach en een prettig mens met een heel groot hart. Bij haar kan ik me volledig open stellen omdat ze altijd vrij van oordeel en met mededogen mijn verhaal verwelkomt. Dat geeft me ruimte om zelfs de meest kwetsbare onzekerheden en problemen veilig te bespreken. Wat ik bijzonder aan haar vind is de combinatie van zachtheid, wijsheid, sterke ondersteunende kracht en doelgerichtheid. Heel fijn is ook humor die ik in haar sessies ervaar. Daardoor ontstaat een soort creatieve speelruimte, waarin ik gemakkelijker oplossingen vind die het beste bij mij passen. Christie is een belangrijke steun in mijn leven. Haar coaching heeft me tot nu toe veel gebracht.

She offers tools and resources for living and working that are simple, and which are wonderful alternatives to overthinking. The result is a release of calm energy and the feeling that no matter what lies ahead, it will be fine.
