About Christina
Christina joined She Hit Refresh back in February 2018. She currently lives in the UK and recently returned to her home town to look after her Dad following a cancer diagnosis. Around the same time she left her corporate life to setup her own Coaching business.
She Hit Refresh immediately struck a chord with her as 3 years prior, Christina hit her own refresh after the blueprint of her life irrevocably changed. She quit her corporate job of 10 years, bought a backpack and set out to travel solo for a year.
Since then she has embraced more travel, lived and worked abroad; taking the time to reconnect with her passions. It was that path that led her to train to become a certified professional Coach and Master Practitioner in Energy Leadership.
