Christine Nachmann is the person you want to share tea with when you understand that time is all we are lucky to have - and not for long. The light dances in her eyes.

Her easygoing attention to detail, her comfortable sense of process - that this happens, then this happens… is an unfolding revelation. To spend time with Christine usually means to come to this place of calm gratitude.

Part of a palliative care team, Christine also teaches a community of professionals and lay counselors how to support each other in grief and loss, and does so with love and courage, never afraid to challenge. She laughs easily and often.
