Working with Christina was an absolute joy. She discussed with everyone their individual boundaries and comfort levels and then facilitated communication between everyone in the most empowering way. I had never worked with an IC before and because of Christina, I will never not work with an IC again. Her input was invaluable and I can’t wait to work with her again.
