Hi there, I'm Christi.

I believe moms are a powerful force for good.

I am a happy wife, a mom to seven independent souls, a mother-in-law to one, so far, and a grandma!! (What?? That’s crazy to me.) I’m also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and a certified life coach.

I remember the day I realized that I didn’t have control over my children.

Not only was it physically impossible for me to control my six foot four, fifteen-year-old man-child, it wasn’t actually my job to control him.

I couldn’t make him go to school.

I couldn’t stop him from leaving the house in the middle of the night.

I couldn’t make him agree with any of my ideas or priorities for him.

In fact, the more I tried to “help” him, the more he pushed away from me. The harder I tried to control him, the less influence I actually had in his life.

The way I had been parenting wasn’t working for this child.

My first couple of kids didn’t really rock the boat. But this kid was different. If I was going to have any influence in his life, I would have to change the way I was doing things!

Thus began a personal journey for me that has blessed every member of my family.

I have learned how to respect my kids’ agency while still teaching the things that are important. 

I’ve learned how to avoid power struggles. We have more peace in our home. We have deeper relationships. I feel more joy in being a mother, and I see the future with an eye of faith.

Each of my kids has struggled with some really hard things (pornography, mental health, substance abuse, to name a few).

We are NOT a perfect family.

But we love each other, and we keep trying.

Our home is filled with joy and peace and faith. It’s a place we all love to be.

As a coach, I now share with other women my hard-earned knowledge. I teach the principles and skills that have changed everything for me.

I work with mothers to improve their family relationships and create homes that are truly a place of refuge for their families.

Getting personal...

What moms are saying...

“I have been able to approach ALL of my relationships in a healthier way, but especially my relationships with my teenage kids.”

I have had the opportunity to work one on and one as well as in a small group with Christi. It has helped me so much! I have been able to approach ALL of my relationships in a healthier way, but especially my relationships with my teenage kids. My life is much more peaceful and I have found more joy with my family because of the things I have learned from Christi this last couple of years! I am so thankful I found her. She making a difference in my life!

“Going through Christi's course really opened my eyes to how much control I have over how I feel!”

Before working with her I was angry and resentful of my family, but she helped me to see how my own thoughts were shaping what was going on in my home. Now being intentional isn’t just a catchphrase for me, it’s something that I can practice and implement in my life.

“I feel empowered to be the woman God created me to be and the mother I want to be.”

The Love at Home workshop was exactly what I needed to help me through a challenging time in my parenting journey. Christi is an amazing coach who listens sincerely and cares genuinely. She brings a rich depth of faith and experience to her classes and coaches with deep empathy and charity. Because of this class I feel empowered to be the woman God created me to be and the mother I want to be. Through the skills I have learned in this class I am better able to love myself and my family members. I have more faith and feel more joy. Thank you Christi for teaching me that I don’t have to wait to be happy. I am excited to keep learning and becoming.
