About

I spent 12 years as a structural engineer: a career that rewarded logic, certainty, and having it all figured out. Through my experience navigating uncertainty, burnout, and the question of "what do I actually want?" I became fascinated by how much our internal state shapes everything - how we interpret situations, where our energy goes, what we tell ourselves about what's possible. That curiosity led me to coaching, and I haven't looked back.

I'm a Certified Professional Coach trained through an ICF-accredited program. I work with people who feel the gap between who they are and how they're living — capable and self-aware, but stuck in their head or unsure what to do next. My clients leave sessions with more clarity, more self-trust, and a clearer sense of what they actually want to move toward.

I'm based in San Diego, but work with clients anywhere (virtually, one-on-one). Visit my website to book a free intro call: shiftandsharpen.com

Methodology

My Coaching Approach

Each session is a personalized conversation centered around you, your goals, and what you’re currently navigating. Together, we explore challenges, thought patterns, habits, emotions, and opportunities for growth. You can expect thoughtful questions, honest reflection, practical tools, mindset shifts, and actionable next steps that help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Most clients work with me consistently over several months, which gives us enough time to move past surface-level goals and into real, lasting change. The length of coaching varies depending on your goals, needs, and the depth of transformation you’re seeking. Some clients benefit from a few focused sessions around a specific challenge, while others prefer ongoing support over several months. Because every person’s needs are different, we’ll talk about what makes sense for you during your intro session.

Best Fit

Who I Help

My coaching is likely a good fit if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, uncertain about your next step, at a crossroads, or craving growth and change. It’s especially helpful for people who want more clarity, confidence, balance, fulfillment, or accountability in their lives. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting, just a willingness to be open, honest, and committed to your growth. Book a complimentary intro session, where we can see if we click before you commit to anything.

Went from distressed to energized!

I was feeling really overwhelmed and like everything was tangled up in my head. Everything I wanted to do seemed heavy or outlandish. Talking with Christine helped me feel organized and capable. I am energized to get to work after our time together! I feel much better and am excited to continue to work together.

Testimonials

“Christine is the best. I love the way her coaching style follows a decision tree type logic. It’s very productive and efficient. She helped me funnel my thoughts into action items.”

“Whether you’re feeling a little adrift at sea or just need something to get you to that next level, I definitely recommend working with Christine. It’s important to have a coach who listens to your needs and helps you make a plan specific to your goals. With the time she spends getting to know you and asking you questions that you may not even think to ask yourself, she gets to the heart of what will help you in you next steps. She gave me tools that I could uses to make changes and make them stick. Her guidance helps you first figure out what you want/need and then she helps you develop a plan to accomplish your goals. If you’re looking for a coach who is genuinely caring, resourceful and determined to help you reach the next level either personally or professionally go to Christine!”

“I reached out to Christine for coaching in a time of uncertainty and she has been amazing to work with. She was kind, warm and attentive. After completing our coaching sessions I had so much more clarity!”

“I engaged Christine as a coach for supporting me with navigating a challenging interaction with my leader at work. She guided me toward recognizing the interactions as a constructive opportunity for broader growth rather than as a source of apprehension. Together, we developed a concrete checklist of actions which gave me a clear action plan going into the discussions. A particularly effective aspect of her coaching was her ability to help me reframe the situation with my leader and instead helping me focus instead on delivering genuine value I bring to my work.”

“I can’t recommend Christine enough. I started working with her at a time when I felt stuck and overwhelmed, and after just one coaching session, I left feeling empowered, motivated, and—most importantly—like my goals were actually attainable. What stood out to me was how digestible everything felt. Instead of leaving with an overwhelming list of things to fix, I walked away with practical, achievable action steps that gave me confidence. Our conversations felt natural, thoughtful, and incredibly insightful. Her advice wasn’t just encouraging—it was grounded, honest, and helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel when it felt like I kept running into roadblocks. I know a lot of people are turning to AI as a therapist or coach these days, and while it can be a helpful tool, I’ve found that ChatGPT often tells you what you want to hear, not necessarily what you need to hear. It can give you a list of goals, but it can’t provide real accountability or genuine human connection. Christine does. She’s the one sending a “Happy Monday!” text, checking in to ask how my workout went, or reminding me to stay focused on the commitments I made to myself. That level of accountability has made all the difference. Since working with her, I’ve been consistently making progress toward my personal goals, and it’s even carried over into my career. I recently received recognition at work for producing high-quality work and showing up for my team better than I ever have. If you’re looking for someone who will challenge you, support you, hold you accountable, and genuinely care about your success, Christine is that person. I’m incredibly grateful I took the leap and started working with her.”

“Christine was incredibly warm, welcoming, and easy to talk to. This was my first life coaching session, and I was honestly pretty nervous since I’m not used to opening up about my personal goals and future plans. She immediately put me at ease and explained the difference between life coaching and therapy, which helped me feel much more comfortable. As someone who works full-time in the tech industry, it was refreshing to focus on goals outside of work and create a plan for personal growth. Christine asked thoughtful questions, helped me identify areas where I was holding myself back, and gave me practical tools to stay accountable and keep moving forward. If you’re looking for a life coach in San Diego or remote to help with personal development, career goals, motivation, accountability, or making a meaningful life change, I highly recommend Christine at Shift & Sharpen. Whether it’s your first coaching session or you’ve worked with a coach before, she creates a supportive, encouraging environment that makes it easy to take the next step toward your goals!!”

“Working with Christine as a coach was powerful. In just one session, she helped me gain much more clarity around a topic I had been trying to figure out for a while on my own. Christine has an ability to effortlessly get to the heart of what is really going on beneath the surface. She quickly identified the beliefs and fears that were keeping me stuck and helped me to release what was holding me back from moving forward. Through our session I got a deeper sense of clarity about what I truly wanted and what my next steps looked like. Her insight, intuition, and grounded coaching allowed me to leave our session feeling lighter, more aligned, and excited about the future. I highly recommend Christine to anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next chapter.”

“I recently had a coaching session with Christine, and I’m really glad I did. Since she also comes from an engineering background, I felt like she truly understood a lot of the pressure, overthinking, and internal struggles that can come with that world. At first, I honestly wasn’t even sure what I wanted to focus on during the session. But through Christine’s thoughtful questions, validation, and ability to really acknowledge what I was feeling, we uncovered some deeper things I needed to work through within myself. The conversation helped reconnect me to who I am, how I want to live my life, and what may be holding me back from that. By the end of the session, we had identified a few small but meaningful steps I could take to start moving forward and work through the fears that have been keeping me stuck. I left feeling seen, supported, and more grounded. I’m excited to continue the work.”

“Being a retired senior, I was pretty comfortable with my current activities and vague future goals. I was skeptical about the prospect of life coaching improving my life. Boy, was I wrong! Christine has met with me and I have been able to clearly articulate a future vision for myself. More importantly, she gave me the tools to define those priorities and help me as I navigate my everyday life!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Christine through a 6 month coaching journey. She always showed up with a calming presence and very thoughtful approach to whatever it was I brought to the table. She has an intuitive ability to cut through the noise and helped me get to the root of what I was struggling with. I’m thankful I had the opportunity to work with Christine and feel confident she would be an asset to other clients seeking help overcoming life’s challenges big or small.”

“Christine is a remarkably intuitive coach. She was deeply attuned to both my needs and my energy, and she adjusted her style in a way that felt thoughtful and responsive rather than formulaic. At a moment when I had a lot of moving pieces and competing priorities, she helped me slow down, find focus amid the chaos, and reconnect with what actually matters most right now. Our work together helped me channel my energy more intentionally and move forward with much greater clarity.”

Questions

Frequently Asked

My coaching is rooted in mindset because how you think, perceive, and relate to yourself shapes every area of your life. Health, relationships, career, finances, purpose, self-worth- it all connects back to the same core. I work best with people who know what they want but keep getting in their own way, or who are navigating a big transition and ready to stop living on autopilot. If you’re ready for a real shift, you’re likely in the right place.

The Energy Leadership Index (ELI) assessment is a research-backed tool that helps identify the mindset, thought patterns, and energetic responses that may be influencing how you experience different areas of your life. It provides insight into how you respond to stress, challenges, relationships, and opportunities, helping uncover patterns that may be holding you back. The assessment can create powerful self-awareness and serve as a solid reference point for our coaching work together. As an ELI Master Practitioner, I’m trained to debrief your results in depth and help you apply them meaningfully to your life and goals.

Results vary from person to person, but many clients experience greater clarity, confidence, self-awareness, emotional resilience, motivation, and alignment in their lives. Coaching can help you break through limiting patterns, improve relationships, strengthen communication, make empowered decisions, and get you moving toward your goals with intention. Results will depend on what you bring to the process. When you’re ready to do the work, the shifts are real.
