With Joy Coaching® America, I am able to use a multitude of resources I have learned and been able to share my healthier self-awareness and compassionate outlook on life with other like-minded women in service to them. As part of a nurturing community of loving women, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve with them in an intentional movement of helping others move from grief and loss to healing and serenity in order to experience the higher vibration gifts of love, peace and joy.
As a “Joy Coach”, I am able to provide the compassion and empathy of an understanding and wise mentor. This relationship helps women establish a cornerstone for their transformation by way of my guided counsel, compassionate support and nurturing encouragement. With the focus on intentional self-care for the participant, joy coaching® improves the quality of one’s overall health and well-being through consistently focusing on mind, body and spirit balance.
Carol: How do you feel the Joy Coaching® America program, as it focuses on reducing stress, through deep relaxation, accessing the five senses, music and aromatherapy can be beneficial in anyone’s life?
Christina: Through a personal practice with this method, one is able to learn how to cherish and nurture their own body, heart, mind and spirit. With the repeated daily practice of setting aside a quiet time for prayer and/or devotion, basically a “Divine Appointment” with God or one’s Higher Power, and incorporating “The Healer’s Touch: Nine Touch Point Method,™” one has an opportunity to heal past suppressed emotions.
This “rest and relaxation” method involves all five senses by supporting the sense of scent with the smelling of the oils through aromatherapy, the sense of touch with the physical application of the oil on the nine touch points and light feathering touch, and the sense of hearing and vibration with the use of beautiful music that provides faith-based, guided visualizations. The use of a light feathering touch supports an emotional-clearing and relaxation response for the participant. Through this process, lower emotional vibrations can be raised to higher vibrations.
Carol: What made you choose a faith-based program of study?
Christina: I knew I wanted to be involved with a Christian-based group of women using essential oils to teach and encourage self-care. I also knew I wanted to focus on identifying and dismantling self-limiting beliefs with a focus on personal growth and development. Joy Coaching® America has been the vehicle for bringing all of that together for me by providing a program for sharing and empowering women to address self-care for themselves as well as the needs of their home and family.
In addition, I am motivated by my love and trust in the Lord and my personal relationship with Him; by my desire to answer His calling and mission for a bigger purpose in my life; by my desire to always be learning and growing; by the need to encourage, teach, and help others; by my love for the essential oils and other alternative health solutions and strategies that I know can bring healing, health, and happiness to others; by the desire to share more optimism, hope, faith, love, joy, peace and kindness to others; by the love, joy and excitement I have being a part of the Joy Coaching® Community and as a facilitator of “The Healer’s Touch Method™”; by the opportunity of empowering women to achieve greater health, a stronger sense of well-being, and a life of personal growth and transformation; by bringing more women healing from a broken or wounded heart and/or spirit as they learn to cherish, nurture, and love themselves with a deeper level of self-care and self-love; and by encouraging women to find and nurture a closer relationship with God.
Carol: What do you feel you have additionally overcome via Joy Coaching®?
Christina: Through Joy Coaching®, I have been able to address my own self-limiting thoughts and beliefs and have been able to address healing some of my own wounds, current and generational, that have resulted from sadness, grief and loss. I have created a new identity for myself by reaching out to experts in many fields and enthusiastically enlisting their expertise and knowledge and thereby creating opportunities for personal growth and development. I have pushed myself beyond my comfort level in countless ways in order to personally grow as a joy coach educator, facilitator and leader. I have taken advantage of many training opportunities to develop new knowledge and skills in this industry that have continued to consistently inspire and motivate me to develop the acumen necessary to become an exceptional mentor for others.
Carol: What makes you different from other “Joy Coaches”/health coaches?
Christina: What makes me different from other “Joy Coaches”/health coaches is my life experiences and my faith. All of my past experiences have given me the ability to have an understanding of what other women have gone through or are going through with a deeper awareness, greater insight, more empathy and deeper compassion. I understand the grief experienced as a result of divorce as a child and as a married woman; I have experienced the death of a relationship with a significant person, the death of a spouse, and the death of one’s parents. I have experienced the rollercoaster emotions, the highs and lows of being a single mom raising two daughters; I have also experienced grief, anxiety, sadness, depression, rejection, abandonment, and a wounded and broken heart and spirit. I have had many of life experiences that enable me to have the empathy and compassion to support, encourage, and minister to others in a positive way. My intention as a “joy coach” is to help other women to believe in themselves and their self-worth and to encourage them to practice the art of self-love and self-care.
