Testimonials

I have really appreciated my experience with Soulence and Chris. As a reiki practitioner, Chris offers a powerful presence in which I have had energetic shifts, released anxiety and felt more at home and aligned within myself.

Chris is very dear to me. She has a commitment to authenticity in people’s journey of awakening that is unflinching and brave. She has offered me solidarity and empowerment for my path of alignment even when it feels frighteningly out of step with the status quo of our over culture. I trust her as a voice that reflects back to me the essence of whatever I’m churning with clarity, openness, validation and vision. She supports the emergence of my whole self.

I worked with Chris at a time when my life was at a huge turning point. I had given up everything that was familiar to me - my job, my job sector, my home, country of residence, community and friendship group and I was in complete transition. Chris carefully lead me through this unsettling and unfamiliar time. She was able to help me understand how I really felt about things, bringing me out of my head and into my body. She helped me read into and understand images that were coming to my mind that I couldn’t quite decipher alone. What I found so special and different about Chris’s approach was the way she guided me to find my own answers and my own understanding. One of our very first conversations, Chris asked two very simple, but profoundly insightful question that I continue to use (and share) today. It’s transformed the way I make decisions about my life and so far, has served me well!

I came to Chris feeling burnt out and trapped in my pastoral role.  Chris listened well, asked good, deep questions, and gave me permission to take care of me. She helped me to reframe my work and create new and healthier boundaries.  Chris isn’t prescriptive—she helped me to figure out what was needed just by noticing and asking good questions.
— Amy
Chris lives from her heart, and with grounded awareness creates an intentional space for others around her. In that space I have learned much about Spirit, Grace and Love from her. Chris is intuitively aware of the igniting energies of awakening and transformation within herself and others, and walks alongside spiritual seekers with a deep appreciation for life, Divine and the simplicity of the present moment.

I felt immediately safe and heard in a deep way in my session with Christi. That safety — paired with her compassion — allowed me to explore her questions and observations with an open heart. I gained insights, perspective and a sense of release.

Chris approaches her work with humility, and provides a safe space where I can show up as my messy, imperfect self and be met with open arms and support. I come away from our sessions reassured that the hard work of aligning myself with my life’s purpose is worth it, and I am shored up by her wisdom and insights. If you’re feeling called to begin or deepen your journey inward, Chris’s gentle guidance provides clarity and joy along the path.

As I’ve met with Chris for Spiritual Direction, I have valued the sacred space she cultivates which allows my mind, body, and spirit to enter deeply into soul space.  I have felt held by the Spirit and led with gentle grace and soul filled wisdom. I am grateful for Chris’ attunement to energy and shifts through questions and awareness. Each time I have felt heard, seen, and loved by the Divine and community.
— Paula S.
The journey toward our whole self is continually unfolding. Through our spiritual direction training and our soul friendship, I have witnessed Chris open and reopen to her own journey inviting others, including me, to do the same. As a seasoned traveler and guide, Chris has the capacity to accompany you as Spirit leads your awakening journey toward healing and wholeness.

The fall after I graduated from college, I felt lost: many close college friends moved away, I had a job but not one that I loved, I did not know where I was headed in life and felt distant from God. I started meeting with Chris for spiritual direction and as we met, Chris created a space where our questions, reflections and silence helped me uncover the deep feelings in my soul. She helped me find a quietness, stillness, presence and deep knowing of myself and Spirit working in my life, even in the midst of lots of unknowns. Whenever I left our meetings, my spirit felt so cared for and at rest that I felt like I needed to care for my body in the same way by eating a salad, going for a run or practicing some yoga. Even now when our regular meetings have stopped, I remember and hold onto practices, thoughts and feelings that Chris helped guide me into and I am so grateful for our time together.
