About
A glimpse of my one wild & precious life.
A coach who blends neuroscience, intuition & a whole lot of heart.
I’m Christina Cherry — coach, educator, entrepreneur and playful disruptor of burnout culture. With over a decade of experience supporting people through personal and professional transformations, my work sits at the intersection of mindfulness, nervous system regulation and soulful self-leadership.
But here's what really sets me apart: I don’t believe growth has to be all grit and grind. I believe it can feel good. Energizing. Even playful.
That’s where resourcing and energetics come in. I help you reconnect to your body’s wisdom, find steadiness in the swirl and take aligned action from a grounded place.
I’ve walked the path myself.
I’m not just a coach — I’m a three-time entrepreneur who knows firsthand what it’s like to move through self-doubt, burnout, red tape and reinvention. I’ve built businesses from the ground up, navigated growing pains (and growing edges) and helped other creatives and small business owners do the same — moving past blocks, clarifying their vision and building lives and work that actually feel like them.
And I, myself, have done a whole lot of personal growth. Five years ago, a near-death experience cracked everything open for me. It made me question who I was, what I believed and how I wanted to live. That experience didn’t just shift my perspective — it reshaped my identity. It showed me what really matters, and it deepened my commitment to living and guiding from a place of authenticity, intuition and joy.
I hold certifications in The Science of Wellbeing (Yale) and Managing Happiness (Harvard), and my approach is deeply informed by research from the National Institute for Play. My work draws from a range of powerful systems and teachers, including Gabor Maté (trauma and compassionate inquiry), BJ Fogg (habit science), Steven Peters (the Chimp Paradox), and Bill Burnett & Dave Evans (design thinking for life). I also have a degree in Communications with minors in Spanish and Sociology, which has helped shape the lens I bring to both human connection and systemic understanding.
This work is for you if...
You’re navigating a big life or career transition
You’re tired of burnout and ready to create sustainable change
You’re a small business owner craving clarity, direction or creative momentum
You’re feeling disconnected from your spark and want to find your way back
You’re ready to move forward with more self-trust, clarity and ease
My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s grounded in deep listening, neuroscience, nervous system support and intuitive tools — all in service of your goals. I’m here to hold space for the messy middle, the breakthroughs and everything in between.
Things I believe in:
Growth is nonlinear, and it doesn’t have to feel like punishment
Play is powerful — and it’s paramount to your development
Your nervous system isn’t a problem to solve; it’s a compass to follow
You already have wisdom within you. My job is to help you hear it
Rest, joy and creativity are not luxuries. They’re lifelines
Fun facts:
I’ve built three businesses including a marketing consultancy and a travel & food media company
Nature is my go-to nervous system reset (especially near the water)
I love helping people find their unique “play style” as this is how we find flow!
I’m forever studying something new, from the science of habits to how joy works in the body
My clients describe me as an energizing spark — equal parts grounded guide and intuitive firestarter
