Christine Hassing is a leadership life coach, a published author, a life story writer, and a teacher of arts – the art of how we frame and reframe our life stories and the art of hearing. Within. To each other. Through space virtually when people are not able to be together physically and when a loved one – human or fur – has crossed to the other side. To one’s body. And within the soul /spiritually. In addition, Christine is a business owner, advocate of cold noses as healers and a champion of unconditional listening and hope. She has published two life-story books, one her personal memoir To the Moon and Back to Me: What I Learned from Four Running Feet. The second is Hope Has a Cold Nose, a collection of twenty-three military veteran life stories about the healing effects of service animals for veterans journeying with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and military-sexual trauma (MST).
Christine’s framing/reframing life story experiences include leaders who find themselves experiencing a significant transition such as onboarding into a new role in a new location or questioning if it is time for a career change, hospice end of life, early-stage Alzheimer’s, the aging population, domestic abuse survivors, elementary children, individuals once homeless, military veterans, and those grieving the physical loss of a loved one.
Christine is also on a mission to shift the planet from grief to hope, one life story at a time. In the spaces where we struggle to look life stories in the eye. Spaces that hold grief, emotional pain, trauma, sorrow, and despair. In the spaces where we struggle to reframe our stories from self-judgment to self-worthy, from uncertain to hope-fully, from grieving to embracing, from shame to dignity, from separated to a sense of whole. Christine does this through teaching workshops, courses, 1×1 coaching, written life stories, published books, monthly blogs, and speaking engagements.
When Christine is not joyously listening to, teaching, coaching, inspiring, or reframing life stories, she immerses herself in Nature and time with friends and family, including two souls in fur with cold noses.
