Overview


Want to Live a life that is in alignment with your authentic truth, intuition and soul journey!


Hi I’m Christa!

Life Coach, Yoga Instructor, Travel Loving Surf Junkie, guiding people into living a life that is in alignment with their authentic truth, intuition and soul journey. 

My strengths are in creating powerful shifts for clients through inviting them to step out of their comfort zone, play, move from intentional action stemming from the heart, ignite inspiration, explore tools for navigating + embracing the exciting and uncomfortable (yet all potent) pieces of the human experience and exploring the unknown. 

Community, movement, meditation, authenticity, surf & connecting with mother nature are the core foundations of sharing this empowering work.

Thank you for being here!

A while back I had a thought. I want to LOVE all 7 days of the week (not just the weekend) ::crazy I know::

We ALL have greatness within us. If you are hearing that calling, “I am meant for more, do this, create that, follow this path, say yes, leave that,” chances are your soul said YES to this journey way before you were even born and now you are being called to wake up and serve. ::But Where do you start?:: You start on that line of excited and terrified, journeying into the unknown - and this is where I come in! Because you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

YOU got this!!

“What is yours to do? Often the path that is yours to walk is the exact one that you do not feel prepared at all to walk...walk it anyway.
Often what is rising in us feels far bigger than we feel we could possibly hold...
be a container for it anyway. 
Often our creations seem to have a wild uncontrollable consciousness of their own....
birth them anyway.
Often what is ours to do feels more like a challenge than a choice ....
choose it anyway.
Often what is ours to do is the very thing that intimidates us most of all.....
 be courageous and do it anyway.”

Kariina Rand

"Working with Christa has opened my eyes to the potential within myself. The power I hold in the being of me. Her guidance is thought-provoking, but also very tangible in the goals and challenges we set together. Christa is an excellent mirror to the truths I've held about myself and gently inviting those truths to no longer guide my actions. It has been truly a pleasure to work Christa, she a true partner and advocate for the life you dream of living. I cannot thank her enough for inviting me to see myself for all that I am. Thank you."

"Christa has been a true inspiration and positive influence on my life both on the yoga mat and off. I have practiced with her both privately and in small groups and her classes always challenge my body, open my heart and inspire my spirit. She is adept at reading our potential and adjusting the practice so that we feel empowered and strong.

Christa has also spent time speaking with me about my goals and my life journey. She provided guidance and advice that has given me the tools to recognize my passion and pursue it without doubt. It is about one year ago since she helped change my life! The year has flown by and I am a full-fledged “luxury travel consultant” with clients!! I could not be happier. I give thanks to Christa all the time for her role in this career change…first planting the idea, then helping me to believe it could become a reality and third setting up the connection to make it happen! I truly consider Christa a gift and could not be happier that we have crossed paths."

I met Christa in a time of my life that was in the midst of transition. She helped kick-start my motivation to help focus on an area of my life that I had been putting on the back burner. Her support through breathing exercises, yoga, meditation and journaling helped put concrete, achievable steps together to get started on my journey. Christa is positive and encouraging with uplifting energy that is contagious. She offers a unique perspective and gives helpful tips and guidance along the way. She is like a zen ray of sunshine with the confidence to help you achieve your goals. She is honest, real and dedicated to helping you better yourself. I absolutely recommend working with her.

"I was initially reluctant to try yoga.  As a physical therapist, I’ve encountered multiple injuries from people pushing too hard into certain poses, so I was hesitant to appreciate the positive experiences so many of my patients, friends, and co-workers were having.  They all swore by yoga.  My wife also loves yoga and I thought it would be an activity that we could both share together, so I tried a few classes.   But I felt uncomfortable keeping up and attempting many of the positions.  I was ready to give up until I met Christa.  She held a beginner’s yoga seminar that really broke things down for me.  She touched on the principles of yoga, the history, the breathing, the culture, and the basic positions.  She made yoga accessible to me.  I scheduled a few private sessions (at a very reasonable price) after that first seminar and I was amazed at how dedicated and passionate Christa is about yoga and the space she creates during a session.  I always felt well educated and I was never pushed into a position that felt uncomfortable or painful – modifications were always provided.  I’ve since taken several group classes with Christa and she treats everyone there as if it was a 1/1 session.  Thanks to Christa, my wife and I have something we can share together and I highly recommend taking a class/session with her."
