Today, we’re talking about the transformative power of Women’s Support Groups in fostering mental health and well-being as well as testimonials for professionals in my field.

I know when I’m contemplating investing in a new program or product, I like to hear about other people’s experiences. I always make videos, or write reviews for coaches, leaders and teachers that I work with because I love to gush about good service. In short, love a testimonial.

When planning the outreach for my new Women of Wonder Community, I really wanted to provide information that would help you understand what it was like to work with me. In other words, why should you want to join a community that I started?

The issue is, it is harder for me to gather other people’s reviews than it is for me to give them.

First, because I am primarily a therapist I don’t ask for testimonials or reviews and even when I get them (unsolicited) I’m not supposed to share them. So, anything former clients have to say about me, while it brings me great joy to read or see, would be unethical of me to share. So, I have only a few written testimonials that I can share as much of my work up to this point has been in a therapy office and in that offie is where it must stay.

Second, I have run groups, worked with coaching clients one on one and held retreats for women as a coach and for all those I have gathered feedback. But, the W.o.W Community as a whole concept is a new venture so it isn’t exactly like a retreat or group or coaching (it’s kinda all of that at once.)

So, no one can give you a specific review because no one has done it yet. What I do have is feedback from those who have worked with me as a parenting coach or retreat leader.

While not exactly the same, these reviews do give you a glimpse into how it is to work with me and what kind of environment I try to create.

So, I present you, Cristie Testimonials. You can expect much of the same from W.o.W because at its heart, W.o.W. is me. So, if you are intrigued by any of these women’s opinions, and want some of what they got, come and join us in W.o.W.!

I appreciated that Cristie helped me to take the time to focus on me. I haven’t done that, maybe ever and it was refreshing and necessary. The best part is she gave us tools to continue to help us take care of ourselves even after we go back to our regular lives.  ~ Jesse

This is my second retreat and I knew as soon as I saw the dates for this one that I was signing up! Cristie provides a warm, accepting place when we’re together. I couldn’t wait to come back and take care of myself in a way I only do when I’m in her space. ~ K.S.

I look so forward to my calls with Cristie because I know I’ll always leave feeling better than I do when I first show up. ~ T.L.

Working with Cristie is something I wish every mom could do. She helps you feel much better about the job you are doing as a human. She’s warm and accepting and helps me be more accepting of myself. ~ A.B.

Oh my gosh I could talk all day about why you should work with Cristie. I love how she’s practical and logical but also brings in some “woo woo” to balance it all out. I always learn something new and feel better about myself and my family after I meet with her. Every time. You should try it! ~ M.A.R.
