More on Christine

As a young lawyer, Christine was plagued by constant allergies. Determined to find a cure, she voraciously studied different forms of alternative medicine. She cured her allergies, and along the way discovered her amazing gift – to see people's energy and hear their spirit!

Christine has now worked as a medical intuitive for over 20 years, helping clients all over the world. From executives to busy moms, celebrities to pro athletes, Christine helps each client understand how their bodies absorb stress and how physical symptoms can result. "Each person's spirit can give great insight into how a person's life – and body – got to where it is today. So often our spirit will use physical symptoms to direct us to areas of our life that need to be changed, or to beliefs we hold that are inaccurate." Christine has learned from the spirit world that when we resolve our internal issues and release stored tension, we support the body's natural healing processes. In a session, she becomes the translator for a client's spirit, allowing the client to engage in profound conversations with her spirit to learn about healthier relationships, reducing self- judgment, forgiveness, and healing on every level.
