Neuroscience-informed tools
Understanding how the brain processes change, stress, and decision-making — so we work with your nervous system, not against it.
Work With Me
You are the CEO of your own life.
Living that truth is another story — and that's exactly where the work begins.
Does this sound familiar?
Maybe you feel stuck, but you can't quite explain why
From the outside, life may look perfectly fine, yet something feels off. You're exhausted from putting everyone else's needs before your own. You struggle to set boundaries without guilt. You second-guess yourself, overthink decisions, and wonder why confidence seems to come so easily to everyone else.
Perhaps you're navigating a major life transition you didn't ask for, feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, questioning what's next, and trying to figure it out alone.
You make critical decisions daily, yet every morning you wake up terrified that today is the day everyone realizes you have just been winging it. Or maybe you've accomplished many of the things you thought would make you happy, yet you still feel disconnected from yourself.
You don't need to be broken to need support
Sometimes you simply need space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the person underneath all the roles, responsibilities, and expectations.
What becomes possible
Imagine leading your life instead of surviving it
This is what clients describe on the other side of the work:
-
Making decisions with confidence — not because the fear is gone, but because you trust yourself to handle whatever comes next.
-
Setting boundaries without the guilt spiral — knowing that protecting your energy is not selfishness, it's leadership.
-
Understanding your emotions instead of being driven by them — so they become information, not obstacles.
-
Moving through change with steadiness — not because life gets easier, but because you get stronger.
-
Living in alignment with your own values — not the expectations of your family, your boss, or the version of yourself you outgrew.
-
Finally feeling like the CEO of your own life — with the clarity, agency, and intention that title actually requires.
None of this requires becoming someone different. It requires reconnecting with who you already are.
How coaching works
A dedicated space to do the real work
Coaching gives you something rare: uninterrupted time to think, reflect, and be completely honest — with yourself and with someone who is fully in your corner.
Together we'll uncover the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen your self-awareness, clarify what actually matters to you, and build practical strategies you can use immediately. Not just in sessions — in your life.
You bring
The challenge — what's changing, what feels heavy, and the question that keeps circling in your mind.
Chris brings
The tools, the questions, and the space — so you can hear yourself think clearly again.
What we find together is usually something much more significant than what brought you in the door.
The most important leadership starts within
Why Chris
Not your typical coach. Here's what that actually means
Most coaches focus on goals and productivity. Those things matter — but they're outcomes, not foundations. Lasting change doesn't happen by adding new habits on top of old patterns. It happens when you understand yourself deeply enough to shift the patterns themselves. Chris coaches the whole person. Her approach draws on:
NLP techniques
Neuro-linguistic programming helps identify and shift the unconscious patterns in thinking, language, and behavior that drive your results.
Mindfulness & energy work
A holistic lens that recognizes the connection between mind, body, and energy — because how you feel physically shapes everything else.
Self-leadership coaching
The through-line in everything Chris does: helping you reclaim your agency and lead your own life with intention, clarity, and confidence.
This isn't about fixing you. It's about helping you remember what has been there all along — or maybe getting to know yourself for the first time.

What clients say
In their own words
Veronica LescalletteNurseI started my sessions with Chris at a transformative period of my life. After losing my job from Covid, I felt lost and extremely overwhelmed about my next steps. Chris made an effort to really understand the person I am and my goals while making me feel extremely capable and special.
After each session, I was able to have a clearer head and gain more confidence about myself. Most importantly, she did not do the work for me — it was her guidance and intuitive wisdom that steered me to gain this awareness. Towards the end of our time together, I was confident about my direction in life. She could see me in ways I couldn't see myself and that pushed me to make a major career change. I am so grateful for my time with her!
Tara B.Coaching clientChris was so patient and kind. She asked all the right questions and really helped me to get to the bottom of my feelings and the changes I needed to make in my life. I can't tell you the weight she lifted off my shoulders.
Completely changed everything and I feel like a new person. She's awesome!
Magy TaylorRegional Process ManagerWorking with Christiane was life changing, truly. She was able to help me explore my goals, my thoughts and feelings around them, the challenges and potential, and then visualize the future I want to create.
She helped me cut through all of the mental noise to hear my intuition and realize my true power. I cannot say enough about how positively she impacted my perceptions and self efficacy. Christiane knows how to see within her clients and guide them to see their true potential.
Taylor BoelkMarketing & Recruitment, Western Michigan UniversityI came to Chris during a very turbulent time in my life. I was navigating a change in jobs, a cross-country move, and I was struggling with my weight. Chris and I used SMART goals to help me break down big stressors into small, attainable steps. Knowing that I'd be calling Chris each week to update her on my goals, I worked hard to hold myself accountable.
Even during times where we weren't working on a specific goal, it was nice to talk to someone with an outside perspective about the things going on in my life — both the victories and the challenges!
Before you book
Common questions
What actually happens on the free Coffee & Chat call?
You share what's going on — what's changing, what feels heavy, what you hope becomes different. I listen, ask a few questions, and we figure out together whether coaching is the right next step and which package would fit your situation. No pitch. No pressure. Just a real conversation.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching is present-focused and future-oriented. We work on clarity, goals, patterns, and action — not diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions. If therapy is the better path for what you're navigating, I'll say so honestly and help you think through that too.
Do I need a coach?
Do you feel lost on how to move forward in life? Are you experiencing anxiety or stress? Are you going through a transition? Or you know what you want and where to go, but can't seem to get started? If you've tried to make changes on your own and it's just not working, you don't have to figure it all out by yourself. Some people spend years considering a career change; others spend months trying to settle in after a relocation or organize a hectic family life. You can get where you want on your own — but with a coach you'll likely get there faster, and save time, money, and many headaches along the way.
How do I know which package is right for me?
If you have one specific decision or transition to work through, 4 sessions is a focused starting point. If you're ready to create more sustained change in how you show up — in work, relationships, or your sense of self — 12 sessions gives you the depth and the best per-session value. Still not sure? That's what the Coffee & Chat call is for.
Do you work with men too?
Yes, I have male clients as well. Feel free to reach out directly if you're curious whether my approach could be a good fit for you.
Are sessions virtual?
It depends on your location. If you are located in Lancaster, PA our sessions can be in person at my office. However, most of my clients prefer virtual sessions, as they can work with me whether they're two blocks away or in another country.
What if I want a workshop or speaking engagement for my organization?
I'd love to talk. I work with organizations and community groups on topics including confidence, self-worth, boundaries, and personal leadership. Check out the Speaking page for more information and reach out to start that conversation.
