Christin’s journey
from ‘living’ for Others to living for herself
Today, Christin is a trained and fully qualified KNR® and Hypnosis Coach, Psychologist (MSc), and global citizen since 2016. She passionately supports high-performing women to release their emotional blocks, uncover their purpose with confidence, and create a life on their terms filled with joy, vitality, and freedom.
it hasn’t always been this way…
Christin's life began in a small village in Germany where she grew up before moving to the big city to study Psychology and later Cognitive-Affective Neuroscience. For the most part, her life was determined by the concept — study hard, work hard, to eventually finally retire and ‘enjoy’ the last years that would be left.
During her studies, she faced many challenges. She struggled with the years-long distance relationship to Steven, an intense anxiety disorder, and the self-imposed pressure to always live up to society's expectations and standards left her feeling exhausted, unfulfilled and empty.
‘Once I had my bachelor’s degree in Psychology, It felt like having ticked off just another ‘To-Do’ on my socially appropriate career path to prove my worth.’
Eventually, Christin did a gap year with Steven as they both craved a reset. They decided to fly to the other side of the world, New Zealand, to get out of their comfort zones, work on themselves, and explore what lies beyond what they had called ‘life’ up until that point. It was during this time, Christin felt true freedom and independence for the very first time in her life. However, after 10 months of freedom the bubble of the dream burst quickly as soon as they were back in Germany…
‘I was so afraid to put my master’s on hold and allow myself a break, what would others think?! It turned out to be the best decision I ever made!’
Coming back to Germany to study Neuroscience and get a Master’s degree seemed the to be next logical step. It wasn’t until the couple was back in the city that they fully realized how everything had changed on so many levels.
It felt like Christin’s body was back in Germany, while her soul was left behind in the mountains of New Zealand. Both would have rather just quit and take their decisions back. However, that was not possible. Everything was planned long before. What would everyone think of them anyway?! So they tried to convince themselves that it wouldn't be forever and take only two years until Christin would have finished her studies, and they could be free again.
‘I USED TO THINK THAT HARD WORK and PERSISTENCE WERE eVERYTHING.’
‘It’s a tough pill to swallow when you realize that the life you’ve worked so hard for isn’t what you truly want. The career I Pursued so eagerly no longer felt aligned.‘
It didn’t take two years. After about 6 months being back, Christin’s grandpa died unexpectedly which made her questioning everything and rethink her life's path. Suddenly, life felt so much more precious, and wasting it, striving for something Christin wasn't sure she still wanted, felt wrong. Things were put into perspective.
Amid all this, she had a revelation. She realized that the life she was working so hard for didn't match her true desires any longer. All she wanted was freedom while she felt stuck in a cage.
Contrary to what everyone else thought, Christin refused to accept that New Zealand was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Her burning desire for change helped her to make it happen. She went back to the other side of the world, where suddenly everything made sense to her. It was there that Christin discovered her passion for coaching.
After learning all she could, deepening her knowledge later in Finland, she finished her Master’s. She knew 100% that she wouldn't fit in a conventional 9-5 job and soon went all in on her dream and started her own coaching business.
The challenges that followed along with being her own boss led her to go down an even deeper path of self-discovery and deep healing. Over the past 10+ years Christin had tried so many different things to heal and accept herself, or make peace with the past.
After working so hard on herself for years on end she realized that everything she had tried, reduced the struggles a little bit, admitting that the old patterns on a deep level still showed up, leading to self-sabotage and a spiralling mind.
KNR® was the missing piece that set her free from her old programming.
She achieved changes she had worked toward for over a decade in just a few sessions. She says, ‘I know what it feels like when you’re trying to convince yourself that you love yourself while nothing you do feels ever good enough and I know how it feels to finally have released that burden.’ Within a matter of weeks she gained a quality of life she didn’t even know existed and was missing out on for so long.
Christin believes in this methodology so much so that she became a fully trained and qualified KNR® & Hypnosis coach.
Christin says: ‘I believe that to be a self-led woman we need a strong foundation: we need to love ourselves, feel that we are more than good enough, be able to trust ourselves to show up confidently in our true authenticity, and be responsible and brave enough to bring our vision to life.
This is the foundation.
Now, unfortunately the majority of us didn’t grow up this way. The good news is that, no matter the circumstances you can heal and change right now. Once these challenges have been overcome on a subconscious level, we are able to express ourselves fully into the external world and create the dream life we are here to live.
Doing the inner work for myself in the most effective way possible has enabled me to now facilitate change for other women, and witnessing their growth, seeing them coming out on the other side every time is magical and simply beyond words.’
‘affirmations, vision boards, journaling, and reading every potential personal development book on this planet are fun but only get you so far.’
Today, she uses her experiences and knowledge to support other high-achieving women on their transformational journey as they face their inner struggles, and create their life on their terms. Christin's journey is a testament to the power of self-discovery and resilience. It's proof that it's possible to redefine one's life and reach your highest potential when you have a burning desire for ‘more,’ no matter what challenges you face.
