Christine Denstaedt understands the struggles that caretakers face in today's demanding world. Many people often find themselves grappling with foggy thoughts, a lack of joy in once-loved activities, and an overwhelming sense of exhaustion. Parents, teachers, health providers, and community leaders frequently report feelings of apathy, resentment, and invisibility as they pour their energy into others without prioritizing their own needs. Christine seeks to challenge the notion that self-care is selfish or that it's acceptable for personal needs to remain at the bottom of the list. With over 12 years of experience in supporting caregivers, she collaborates with individuals to identify necessary changes that nourish their spirits and restore their vitality. Through a compassionate process, Christine will help you uncover the blockages that leave you feeling trapped, guiding you toward a renewed perspective on self-care. Together, clients will explore alternative approaches to a more fulfilling life, embracing the essential truth that the most important person to care for is oneself.
