More about Christie & Meant to Become

For more than twenty years, I have lived at the intersection of human potential and real-world results.

I didn’t stumble into this work.

I chose it – deliberately, irreversibly – after watching too many brilliant people dim their own light to fit someone else’s definition of success. I walked away from the predictable path I was on (the one that looked perfect on paper) because something deeper was calling. That same voice still calls every client I serve: the quiet, unshakeable knowing that you were Meant to Become the whole of you – far more – than you’ve been allowed to believe.

“Everything you need is already inside you”

I’ve coached leaders of high-end companies that still felt like impostors at 3 a.m.

I’ve sat with burned-out surgeons, tech founders, and creative geniuses who had every external marker of success and zero internal peace, questioning their decisions.

I’ve held space for entire teams on the verge of collapse and watched them rise – stronger, clearer, kinder, and wildly more effective – within months.

This is not motivational fluff.

This is a science-meets-soul transformation.

What’s Behind My Method

My toolkit is rigorous and proven:

Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths Coach (Top 1% globally)
Trained in applied positive psychology
Certified in neuroscience-based coaching and habit change
Behaviour and learning theory expert with
Hours of one-on-one and team coaching across countries
Faculty and mentor for some of the most respected coach-training institutes on the planet

But credentials only open the door.

What happens on the other side is sacred.

How We Work Together

In our work together, we do five things extraordinarily well:

We uncover your true strengths (not the ones you were told you “should” have).
We dismantle the invisible stories keeping you stuck – imposter syndrome, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout.
We rewire your mind and nervous system for unshakeable confidence and resilient energy.
We turn insight into action so you don’t just feel better – you produce better, lead better, live better.
We make the transformation permanent, because real change isn’t an event; it’s an identity.

For individuals, this often looks like private 1:1 coaching journeys that clients describe as “the best investment I’ve ever made in myself – period.”

For teams and organisations, I design and personally facilitate coach-assisted online programs that are unlike anything else in the market: elegant, evidence-based, and ruthlessly practical. No death-by-PowerPoint. No fluffy team-building games. Just profound shifts in psychological safety, clarity of purpose, and collective momentum that translate directly to the bottom line – and to lives people are proud to live.

I’ve had the privilege of working with companies, unicorn start-ups, elite medical practices, world-class creative agencies, and everything in between. The common thread? Leaders who are done playing small and ready to claim the version of themselves (and their teams) the world has been waiting for.

If you’re here, something in you already know is:

Greatness isn’t a gift given to a lucky few.

It’s a decision.

And today can be the day you make it.

Welcome to Meant to Become.

I’m honoured to walk this stretch of the path with you.

See what my clients are saying

I am Nancy Kahuikee. I am an HR professional and a Gallup Global Certified Coach. When I approached Christie for coaching, I had no idea what my purpose was and was literally feeling the blues of corporate life. I was just tired of the rate race. I knew I needed to find myself again and find my light again. Christie has this incredible nature to make one feel welcome and supported. Her communication skills are top tier and her bubbly personality makes her very approachable. She was always willing to guide me and make me feel seen and heard. I left each session having a better understanding of my strengths and how I can apply them in my professional and personal life. I found new ways to enhance my life and confidence to make a change. She literally maximized my life in ways I didn't know were possible. I began to feel more purposeful and with a clear direction of where I wanted my life to go. I would definitely recommend Christie to anyone who is seeking self discovery and would like to make an impact in their spheres of influence. She is absolutely skilled and her bespoke approach with each client makes her the ideal coach for any coaching you might require. With gratitude & appreciation.

Gallup Global Certified Coach

Christie’s exceptional insight into the animal mind and in particular her understanding of how the horse thinks has helped me build trust and confidence in my own horse and in the horses I work with. Training horses along side her has reduced the retraining period and produced a more secure and well rounded horse at the end. Christie’s guidance in the area of animal learning has allowed me to learn new skills and explore a different approach to horse and animal training. Christie’s confidence in my strengths has led me to focus more on my coaching and horse training and I have seen tangible results in my enjoyment of my own horse, my enjoyment of my coaching other riders and in the success of my business. I have been lucky enough to have Christie in my life for many years and also to have been able to observe her relationships with other people. I am in awe of her passion for growing and supporting me and others despite it sometimes being a thankless task. I feel truly blessed to be able to call her a friend.

I first met Christie as a fellow mom at our children’s playgroup, and was instantly drawn to her honesty, authenticity, and down-to-earth nature. She doesn’t just talk about connection or support—she lives it. She has an ability to take action, navigating the chaos of young kids and busy schedules with calm, practical solutions. That’s just who she is—focused, determined, and deeply intentional. Christie leads by example, showing that if something matters, you find a way to make it happen—even when life throws it's curveballs and is messy. That mindset alone has shifted how I approach my own goals. As a life coach, Christie has an incredible ability to quickly see beneath surface behaviours and help you understand what’s really going on—without judgement. Armed with her deep understanding of Clifton Strengths and natural intuition, she gets to the root of the issue fast, which makes her sessions highly productive and action-oriented. Thanks to her insight and encouragement, I’ve faced countless situations with more clarity, confidence, and emotional steadiness. Her words often echo in my mind—sometimes daily—helping me navigate both personal and professional challenges. Christie is one of those rare people who truly invests in helping others grow. Her support has made a lasting impact on my life, and I’m deeply grateful for the meaningful friendship that grew from our first encounter.

Christie has been mentoring me based on my Clifton Strengths. As a coach, I found her to be objective, honest, and able to convey a sometimes difficult message in a positive way. She had the ability to analyse my personality based on the tests and explain everything to me extremely thoroughly. Her professional manner and the poise with which she carries herself, makes one feel comfortable and trusting of her abilities to be a great mentor. I will continue to be coached by her, as I can already see an improvement in my personal life as well as my ability to deal with colleagues. I walked away feeling positive and encouraged. I would recommend Christie to anyone looking for a compassionate and insightful mentor.
