Christine Hassler, M.A.

Working with Christine has completely changed my life in the best way possible!
When I first started working with her, things in my life weren’t so bad, but they weren’t so good either. I felt like I needed something more, and then I found Christine’s website and instantly resonated with her work. Even so, I was rather hesitant about investing the money in my first coaching package, but I trusted my gut and took a leap of faith — and here I am one year later and honestly I have NO idea (nor do I want to know!) where I’d be without her.
Christine is incredibly intuitive, compassionate, loving — a beyond excellent listener, and she somehow always seems to know the perfect questions to ask to help me see circumstances in my life from a new light. Not only that, but whenever I have questions/​problems, etc. beyond our regular scheduled sessions, she always responds or even calls me so we can talk it out. Before finding Christine, I had worked with other highly sought after coaches, and not to point fingers here, but many of them are only available during the time of the scheduled appointment. They are «too busy» to be there for you in the everyday. Not so with Christine. She is the real deal. She does this work from a place of love, light and true service. I am so thankful for her, and I would recommend her to anyone I know!

If you’re reading this, you are wondering if working with Christine will change your life or if it’s worth it to invest in yourself. I have been Christine’s client off and on for the past 5 years and I her coaching has definitely changed my life in substantial ways (not to sound like an infomercial but my lovelife, career, and general happiness all picked up). I found Christine through her book 20 something 20 everything, and I started working with her, and really think she is a supremely talented coach. She helped me think about my life differently, and in doing so changed my entire life. It seems like it might not be a big deal, but in my opinion your life is a very big deal, you only get to live once and don’t live it in the crappiest saddest way possible like I was. Working with her changed me and It didn’t take me very long to feel a difference in my life.
Christine’s methods are not conventional like a therapist. She has a spiritual twist to her methods, BUT when I first started seeing her, I was not a true believer, I had a lot of serious doubts she could help me, but she really gave me practical methods of changing my life. The reality was that I was highly skeptical that anyone could help me or that my way of going about things was wrong. With a little help I made adjustments to that viewpoint and I was wrong, not to get cheesy but life gets better. A life coach is someone who is on your side and wants you to succeed, You put in the work (trust me it’s not as painful as it sounds) and you can also be relieved of your existential crisis. If you want to know what Christine’s coaching style is like, she holds monthly women’s groups online and in person, so try it out and see if it’s for you.
I see another review here from someone who was MAD (from the review it looks like there was steam coming out of her ears) that it didn’t work out with her and Christine, but I don’t think she did her homework before she plunked down some cash. My advice is do your homework, read Christine’s book, sign up for an online women’s group, read Christine’s blog before you are totally like «WHAAAAAAAAT is this service. «Etc.

I filled out the online contact form and was contacted by Jill about coaching with Christine. I signed the necessary paperwork, completed the questionnaire about my goals/​life/​history, and was told to contact another woman, Carolin, in order to set up my first session. During this process I was not offered a phone call with Christine or any type of face-​to-​face time with her in order to see if we had chemistry to work together. It was very much like big-​business… factory farming. The first time I spoke with or saw Christine was on our very first session together. in her HOME (very strange!). There was no rapport built AT ALL between Christine and I before our first session.
In the paperwork that I signed, and the conversation I had with Jill, I was told that there are absolutely NO REFUNDS, and that I MUST commit to 3 months. I committed, 100%.
Part of Christine’s package includes an unlimited email feature. Now, what I learned is that unlimited doesn’t mean quality. I sent my homework assignments to her so that we could discuss them before the next meeting – this way, I wasn’t wasting precious session time– (each session is nearly $ 400/​hour). The responses were very generic – ra! ra! ra! type of responses, without much thought or time put into them. She would say, «Very good! Great Job! Now, let’s discuss this more in your next session!» instead of discussing it via the «unlimited» email part of the package.
The sessions that I had with Christine were identical to therapy. (Think, «…and how does that make you FEEL?) Might I add here that a LICENSED therapist in my area is $ 100-​$ 200/​hour depending on location? So, why was I paying $ 400/​hour for an unlicensed «therapist» when I don’t even want/​need therapy?
My expectation of a life coach was that we would be focused on the present/​future, working together to create a PLAN. Instead, she wanted to dig up my history/​past and talk about it and what’s worse is that when I mentioned something from the questionnaire, she looked puzzled as if she hadn’t even read it. I appreciate my history and my unique life but looking back only makes you trip over the present and future… in order to move forward in life, you’ve got to look ahead of you.
I wrote Christine an email expressing my disappointment in her therapy-​like coaching and requested that she step out of her box, and try to work with me on the level that I need. I reaffirmed my commitment to the full 3 month period and anxiously awaited her response. What I received was an email congratulating me for being «strong and courageous» and telling me that she would refund my money and she hopes I will find myself another life coach. WTF? What kind of life coach quits on you? She was very nice about it (except that she quit, lol) and she DID refund me the REMAINDER of my sessions, but kept $ 776 for the two sessions I did with her. Honestly, I think if a life coach admits they can’t help you and they quit, they should ultimately give you a FULL refund. Seriously.
This is no joke– Christine quit on me two sessions in. Being a life coach implies you’re qualified to help people with their lives– ALL types of people, not just one type of person. I don’t mean any offense to Christine, but I DO think people should know all of this before deciding to invest in her. What I discovered was that it wasn’t an investment in ME, it was an investment in HER– and it wasn’t a good investment.

Have you ever had someone who is just there for you not matter what you’re feeling or going through, and always seems to be able to see the light at the end of your tunnel, even when you can’t?
Christine is without question one of my favorite people on the planet.
Having been her ‘student’ for many years, I think back on a time on my life before I knew her and I just don’t even recognize myself. She’s an absolute genius of getting the stuck unstuck.
If you’re ready (and I mean really, really ready) to change the way you are thinking about your life, your body, your job… whatever… Christine is the one you want cheering you on.
