About

Kia ora, ko Christine Eva toku ingoa, I am a holistic health coach and integrative counsellor. My undergraduate degree, with a major in human services and a minor in psychology, provided me with a comprehensive understanding of human development throughout the lifespan, from both sociological and psychological perspectives. During my studies, I began PREKURE health coach training, and I have continued with postgraduate study in counselling.

Please find my education and training list below - which includes my memberships, affiliations, and a link to courses. Social determinants of health recognise that non-medical and structural factors like income, education, social support, and living conditions influence a person's health outcomes. My theoretical foundation encompasses various frameworks, including non-western and indigenous models, that guide my practice as a coach or counsellor.
