Christine Thomas CPCC, ORSCC

Personal Life Coach – Relationship Coach – Midwife of Dreams

Where to begin in telling you about me? When in doubt I like to start with gratitude. I love my work, I live in paradise, and I have tons of loving family members, friends, colleagues, clients, and other awesome relationships in my life. And I get to take care of wounded birds of prey. My allies are all around me and support me in more ways than I can even imagine.

 

Perhaps you’d like to know about my education and experience. I’ve been a personal life coach, working with individuals, for the past 10 years. My coaching training is from The Coaches Training Institute (thecoaches.com). I am a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach. For the last several years, I've been dedicated to learning more about how to coach relationships. I've spent this time studying with The Center for Right Relationship (centerforrightrelationship.com), completing their world-class, cutting edge certification program, becoming a certified Organizational and Relationship Systems Coach. I am also trained in mediation and group facilitation. Insatiably curious, I continue to take advanced coach training courses whenever I can.

Along with my training I have many life experiences and skills that enrich my coaching practice. My far vision, my open heart, my truth telling, my deep commitment to individual and group evolution, and my sense of hope and humor are some of the gifts I bring to coaching.

Maybe you’d like to know about my personal life. I’ve been married to my patient and loving husband, Michael, for 28 years. We have an awesome son, Dorian, who graduated from the University of Colorado and is now exploring the world. Two kitties, Maya and Lily Beth, keep us purring and playful.

Colorado is my home. I enjoy this gorgeous land and am a long time gardener, herbalist trained in the Wise Woman tradition, and an outdoors person. Another of my passions is taking care of wounded birds of prey at the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program. The far ranging, clear view of a bird of prey flying high inspired my web name: hawkview.

My brain works well in logical and practical mode. I have owned another successful small business, been a marketing director, trainer, director of operations and a consultant. I have worked with a wide range of managers, directors of non-profits and small business owners, gaining practical, solution based approaches to the array of challenges that managing people and resources presents.

For much of my life I have been on a spiritual quest, studying spiritual traditions from around the world. I have practiced various meditative techniques and yoga for more than 30 years, taken and led workshops and classes, gone on retreats and vision quests, been a participant in circles, prayed, journeyed, sat in stillness, dreamed, laid in my garden. I recognize the strands that connect us all in our varied spiritual beliefs and I support people who want to deepen their relationship with, their connection to, Spirit/Goddess/God/Great Mystery.

Standing with feet in both worlds - of the practical and of the spirit - I know that there are ways each of us can be successful in the world making a living and living our beliefs. In fact, I believe that this world absolutely needs our passions, our day dreams, our quirkiness, our unique ways of operating when we are rooted in our values.

And our relationships – be they personal or professional – also desperately need all of us, especially our conscious awareness and our intentionality.

"Christine Thomas is an amazing woman with a talent for removing the self-imposed hurdles we place along our life path. I first contactedher when my professional corporate life was changing dramatically and I wasn't sure I wanted to continue with the career path I had chosen. Within in two coaching sessions, Christine cleared away my excuses, my victim attitude, and my whining and made me face the fact that I was completely and utterly caught up in bone jarring fear. Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of change, fear of this, fear of that! Instead of having me relive the 20 years of working circumstances that had gotten me to this particular place of fear, she immediately started to give me the tools I needed to build a ladder out of my fear hole and enable me to climb to safety. Christine changed my life because she believed full-heartedly that my life could and should be all that I wanted it to be. I will spend the rest of my life being grateful to her. " - Kari W., Colorado

My inner signposts shine clearly. In short, I feel stronger, clearer, and more a part of this dazzlinguniverse. I'm so grateful to have Christine as my guide!" - Amber Dahlin, Colorado

"Christine has been my companion on my creative journey for over a year now, and what a year it has been! Through her insightful coaching and keen support, I've been able accomplish a number of huge tasks--including writing two books and several guides. Yet the value of her coaching goes beyond the physical results . . . her wise ways of questioning and her insistance on holding to what she knows to be my truth has enabled me to keep strong on a path that is sometimes scary, always interesting, and a truly grand adventure. She tends to my flame with priestessly devotion. I look forward to continuing our journey together." - Alix North, Radical Bad-Ass Pirate Babe, San Francisco Bay Area

There is always something to learn about working with people and relationships, about my garden and the birds, about earth and spirit, about my own hidden side and edges, about all the beings and beauty of this gorgeous planet.
