Christina Berkley

As founder of A Beautiful Place for Beautiful Women and co-founder of The Lighthouse, Christina offers personal and couples coaching, workshops and one-of-a-kind designed day-long transformative experiences for her clients. She helps her clients create the change they want to have in their lives. Using sexuality as an important lens in her work, she believes that it is the fuel that once lit, is a strong and magnetic force as one’s power emerges. Her studies and her own personal exploration took her from a BSc in microbiology and immunology at McGill University to post-graduate interests in psychology, sexuality, trance, hypnosis and shamanic practices. Her exploration led her to OneTaste where she studied the connection between a healthy, genuine sexuality and the unlocking of personal potential. After 5 years of study with them and the Coaches Training Institute, she found her voice and became the director of OneTaste's New York branch, coaching and leading workshops specializing in sexuality as it relates to intimacy, communication and relationships. During her time there she realized her natural proclivity to working with women and founded A Beautiful Place for Beautiful Women (youarebeautiful.us). Her interests continue to expand as she is now exploring the incredible human phenomena of hypnosis and naturally occurring trance states and the transformative powers these experiences have in our lives.
