Nichole Gulowsen

Founder and Clinical Social Worker at Third Eye Counseling Inc.

When Nichole joined the HORIZONS Program, she was struggling to fill her caseload and dealing with frequent last-minute cancellations, making her income feel unpredictable. With Christine’s guidance, she set stronger boundaries and built referral partnerships. Today her roster is full and she’s expanding through leveraged offers.

Heather Fogg, RN

Owner and CEO of Fundamental Foot Care

Heather was deeply committed to her clients and community but was stretched thin by an unstable business model, long hours, and constant financial pressure. Working with Christine helped her rebuild the foundation of her business, stabilize revenue, and step confidently into her role as CEO, creating a profitable, scalable clinic she believes in and can lead without burnout.

Cree Lambeck, B.Ed., M.A., RP

Founder & Clinical Director of Cherry Tree Counselling

Cree had all the pieces of her business but struggled to bring them together into a clear strategy. Working with Christine gave her clarity, structure, and a confident blueprint for growth, transforming her practice from trial-and-error decisions into intentional, sustainable scaling.

Karen Shorey, Leadership Coach

President of Impact Leadership Group

Before working with Christine, Karen’s business felt like feast or famine and she struggled to recognize her own wins. Through their work together, she built consistency, regained motivation, and stepped fully into her role as the expert, approaching clients with confidence and clear direction.

Marion Syverson, Financial Advisor

Owner of Norumbega Financial

Marion was confident in her skills and passion but needed support turning her vision into a structured business. With Christine’s guidance, she refined her brand, strengthened her foundation, and gained the confidence and clarity needed to move forward with a more focused plan.
“Working with Christine has given me confidence in myself as a “business woman”. Her coaching has helped me find clarity around my goals—both big and small. She helps her clients outline actionable steps to achieve our goals. Her insight and experience are valuable, but her steady support has made the biggest difference. I can’t believe what I have been able to accomplish in just three months.”

Sarah Terwilligar

Clinic Director, Sarah Terwilligar & Associates

“When I started working with Christine, I had so many competing priorities, I didn’t know where to focus. She brought clarity, structure, and direction to every part of my business. I’ve learned how to track effectively, refined my brand voice, and now have a solid plan for growth. Christine is exceptional at what she does—and for the first time, I finally feel like I’m moving forward with purpose.”

Cree Lambeck

B.Ed., M.A., RP, Founder & Clinical Director of Cherry Tree Counselling

“I’ve talked about launching a membership for two years—now it’s finally happening. Christine keeps me accountable to the small actions that move the needle. I love her directness. She supports the action-taker in me and helps me stop overthinking everything. She doesn’t just coach—she provides real tools and resources that help make things happen.”

Danielle Abbott

Owner, The Abbott Advantage

“Working with Christine transformed my business from feast or famine to a consistent flow. My biggest breakthrough was seeing myself as the expert, approaching clients with confidence and sharing recommendations without hesitation. Christine’s routine support and guidance helped me shift to the next level, calling me out on my excuses and empowering me to grow.”

Karen Shorey

President, Impact Leadership Group

“Christine has completely transformed my life and business. I never thought I could master business management, but with her guidance, I’ve built a successful, stable practice—and grown personally, too. She’s been my rock through every challenge, offering practical strategies and unwavering support. My business is thriving because of her. Her guidance is a gift.”

Sarah Hentges

PhD, E-RYT 200, YACEP, Owner of Spiral Goddess Collective

“When it comes to strategic planning and operational excellence, Christine is one of the best. She doesn’t just have the vision, she has the knowledge and experience to actually bring the vision to life. She’s a true partner to anyone with whom she works, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

Angela Marcolini

Agency Director, Pulse Marketing Agency

“Christine has been such an incredible beacon in the entrepreneurial space. Our work together several years ago gave me the clarity and strategy I needed to grow and ultimately sell my business. Now, as I move into this next chapter, I can see the same ripple effect happening for the entrepreneurs she works with today. Her guidance truly creates lasting results.”

Carly Fleming

Registered Psychotherapist

“Christine is so very capable, caring and focused on bringing out the BEST of your business. Hiring her was one of the best business decisions I’ve made in 23 years of running my firm.”

Marion Syverson

Financial Advisor & Owner, Norumbega Financial

“Christine is fantastic to work with, she empowers with her knowledge, firm compassionate accountability and consistent goal setting and goal tracking.”

Amber Sperling

Director, Amber Sperling Social Work & Psychotherapy Services

“Christine is highly skilled in her work. I find Christine’s background as a therapist and a savvy business owner, and coach are the perfect complement to guiding businesses to scale. I have already seen so much growth within myself and my business!”

Heather Fogg

RN, BSN, Clinic Director, Fundamental Footcare

“I received wisdom from Christine on how to structure my business so that I could balance my family life, work, and self-care.”

Gina Kiem

MEd, MA, LCPC, CCC, Owner, Gold Counsel

“Christine was one of those very happy gifts in my life! I have grown to consider her one of my mentors. Her blend of care and professionalism are a few of her qualities that make it such a pleasure work with and learn from her.”

Wendy Upfold Beauregard

RYT 200, Owner, Around The Bend Retreat

“Christine is so kind and full of business knowledge! The first simple and small piece of advice that she recommended to me increased my profit by 6K within 3 weeks! I highly recommend Christine. She knows how to give clients the one, most important thing that will deliver results. No fluff! Just simple actions that work.”

Meaghan Staples

PT, DPT, Owner of Refine Physical Therapy

“Since joining the HORIZONS Program, I’ve experienced the most growth my business has ever had. I hired an intern, my first associate, and an incredible VA who’s truly been a lifesaver. Having a weekly space to reset, think clearly, and get guidance has made me feel hopeful, supported, and excited about my business again.”

Ashley Latendresse

Registered Psychotherapist and Founder/Clinic Director at Embolden Mental Health and Psychotherapy

“Since starting this program, I’ve gone from feeling scattered to having clear focus and direction—Christine’s coaching really helped me decide what matters and prioritize my goals.”

Nichole Gulowsen

Founder and Clinical Social Worker at Third Eye Counseling Inc.

“I’d hire Christine for the next ten years. That’s how much I value her coaching.”

Melissa Churchard Hannon

Executive & Leadership Team Coach, Align LLC

“I’m barely into the HORIZONS program, but I already feel more focused and aligned than I have in a long time. This program came at the perfect time to help me grow my new business. Thank you to you and your amazing team for everything you do!”

Summer Allen

Business Coach & Consultant, Valentine Consulting Partners

“What Christine does masterfully is help you get out of your own way. Because of the program, things I normally would have put off for months are happening weeks earlier. Having her perspective and guidance makes what once felt complicated suddenly obvious. It’s been incredibly powerful.”

Charis Loveland

CEO, Charisma Intelligence

“The Horizons Program gave me the framework I had been craving to build my business from a much more grounded place. I’ve grown tremendously working with Christine, and the support inside the program is incredible. With the structure I’ve created, the success of my business now feels inevitable.”

Tricia Carver

Founder, Quantum You | Co-Owner, Live Today
Performance Coach for Athletes & High Performers

“Honestly, without your support I’d have been in an endless doom loop – months, maybe years. I’m genuinely good at what I do, and my credentials say it loud and clear, but not one client was prepared to pay me. The difference was finally having an offer to hang my expertise around. Before, it was all just far too vague.”

Rachel Wood

Rachel Wood Coaching

“The 90-day plan has helped me the most. The very specific instructions about what to do mean I can just work through it and cross things off, which keeps me focused and gives me more clarity about how to talk about my business. The scorecard and P&L tracking have been huge. I finally feel like, ‘Okay, this is good, I understand what’s happening,’ and that’s been a total game changer. I now have a clear direction, and I feel more confident doing outreach.”

Sara Coyle

Owner and Clinical Director, Registered Social Worker
Connected Roots Therapy

“The structure of FLARE has been huge for me. The 90-day plan, weekly scorecard, and scorecard tracking template helped me stop feeling like I was starting from scratch and finally focus on the right revenue-generating activities. I show up prepared and get real value from interacting with Christine and the rest of the group.”

Heather Powers

Workplace Advisor + Change Leader
The Power Lane

“Flare is the best match for me, the framework makes sense and I actually feel like I ‘get it.’ Having a clear 90-day plan has been huge: I’ve already started executing it, talked to someone about my new offer. I’m finally seeing how this long-time idea can become a real, repeatable part of my business.”

Marsha Hibbert, CICAPP Dip MSW RSW

Clinical Social Worker / Psychotherapist
Compose Therapy & Wellness

“I didn’t know what I was expecting, but I was not expecting this. Finally someone knew how to speak my language and help me where I’m at. You are one of the very few experts I’ve worked with over the past 13 years that didn’t try to completely derail me and try to force me somewhere else because it didn’t make sense to them. You have a path and you chose to pull me out of that path to support me where I need to be first.”
