Certified Life and Recovery Coach
Christine has a Master’s Degree in Education, is an ICF Certified Wayfinder Life Coach, a She Recovers Coach, a recovering public high school teacher, and the mother of two teenage boys.
In her work as a recovery coach and counselor at A Positive Alternative, a Seattle based recovery center, she facilitates the Women’s Intensive Outpatient program. Her approach to recovery focuses on the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual systems that need updating when we choose to let go of coping strategies that are no longer working. Creativity has been at the heart of her recovery and she believes creative expression is a human right, available and healing for everyone. She also believes that sobriety is a super-power and that all women deserve to create a life they don’t need to escape from.
Since 2018 she has been in recovery from alcohol, cannabis, anxiety, depression and the effects of Patriarchy Stress Disorder as defined by her mentor Dr. Valerie Rein with whom she has done extensive training.
She is a coach for women at all stages of sobriety, be it sober-curious or already sober women who are ready to be truly free.
She hosts weekly online gatherings for SheRecovers and monthly in-person sharing circles in Seattle.
