Christine is a certified meditation and mindfulness teacher and a Course Advisor for the Mclean Meditation Institute. She started to meditate when she was a young girl, staring at a Holly Hobby picture on the wall to settle her mind at night. Only decades later did she learn she was practicing Trataka, the meditative practice of gazing at an external object.
Perhaps it is no surprise that Christine was naturally drawn to meditation and started practicing again as a way to calm her mind and increase mindfulness in her daily life.
With a 25-year career in advertising, Christine understands the need to manage stress and find life balance. Christine explains “If I can meditate (with my over-active mind) anyone can!”
After experiencing the benefits of the practice, Christine wanted to share meditation and mindfulness with others. She guides meditation classes, facilitates meditation workshops and co-leads the Mindful & Happy 8-week online course with Sarah McLean.
She teaches mindfulness and meditation at corporations, yoga studios, schools, wellness festivals, retreats, private homes, and online. She has taught adults and kids of all ages. She has taught meditation combined with yoga, sound healing and reiki. She has taught aerial meditation classes (while students relax in suspended silks). She has taught meditation at a cat sanctuary. She believes everyone can meditate and knows the importance of meeting people where they are in their practice to make it accessible, easy and fun.
Christine loves to learn and continue to grow so she can be the best teacher to her students. She is dedicated to her own practice and loves to keep training. To date, she has completed the following certifications:
November 2014: McLean Meditation Institute: 200-hour Certification
