About
A glimpse of my one wild & precious life.
A coach who blends neuroscience, intuition & a whole lot of heart.
I’m Christina Cherry — resourcing & energetics 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), Peter Levine (somatic experiencing), BJ Fogg (behavior design), Steven Peters (the Chimp Paradox), and Bill Burnett & Dave Evans (design thinking for life). I also hold a bachelor’s 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
