Christine grew up in the UK and Canada before relocating to Zimbabwe in 2013. For the first 23 years of her career she worked in film, travelling the world for corporate clients to document their stories and later making documentaries in Zimbabwe. Wanting to give a voice to the voiceless became a recurrent thread through her work.
As much as she loved her experiences her health became progressively worse over the years culminating in autoimmune disease which was creating blood clots, severe eye pain, multiple miscarriages, arthritis, celiac disease, chronic fatigue, endless migraines, peripheral neuropathy, memory issues and insomnia.
Eventually whilst lying in an MRI scanner she admitted that she had hit a road block, unable to think creatively anymore and feeling increasingly demoralised by the merry-go-round of seeing doctors and popping ever-increasing amounts of chronic medications. She started to wonder if there could perhaps be a more holistic way to tackle all of her health issues that might not just treat the symptoms but the root causes, and to ponder could there be a link between trauma and illness?
Having watched her own mother battle the devastating effects of cancer from when she was 12 years old culminating in her death when she was 15, she never appreciated that living through such trauma can create a lot of fear inside of you, and that these fears when left with no outlet can be projected onto one’s own body as chronic illness and pain.
Only after becoming a MyoReformation patient did she recognise her own fears for what they were, and realise all the limiting beliefs such fears had created in her.
Within a few months she was off most of the chronic medications and pain free with a new found energy. It was this transformation in her that inspired her to become a practitioner herself.
One of Christine’s sons is severely allergic to bees and has suffered multiple life- threatening episodes of anaphylaxis that left him with PTSD, suffering daily panic attacks and reliving the feeling of the lump in his throat. She started using MyoReformation on him and quickly learned how his PTSD memories were stored in his neck and throat area and how when she worked on those areas he was taken back to those feelings of anaphylaxis and fear, but also how those feelings slowly lessened until in time his panic attacks stopped completely.
Now working as a MyoReformation practitioner she loves tapping back into her creativity that once had her telling stories on screen, to help people find their own story held within their body so that they can find their own voice and in doing so heal themselves.
