Get to know me and my work

Hi, I'm Christine, and I love happy, thriving clients.

MY STORY IN A NUTSHELL

During my PhD on remote work, I researched how people set boundaries between work and life. Ironically, I had none. I’d wake up at 4 AM with an urge to write, cancel plans, and just push through. On the outside, I was thriving—top scholarships, finishing ahead of schedule. On the inside, I was exhausted and empty.

Fast forward to today, while I still love working on a flexible schedule, I experience my work and life very differently. What has changed? My mind. The constant sense of pressure is gone. Stress still shows up at times, but it feels more like an old friend passing by to say “hi.” I like to  smile at it. With mental clarity comes more ease, better decisions, and space for creativity. 

Studies show that stress and overload kill focus, creativity, and innovation. But when we shift our relationship with work, productivity follows naturally. This isn’t about working harder—it’s about working better. When the mind is clear, work flows.

While this may sound like a list of personal achievements—it’s not. It’s simply a technique, practiced with consistency and support. It’s predictable, replicable, and effective. And it works—in fast-paced environments, with real deadlines, and real people. Let me help you discover how.
