CHRISTINE TIERNEY COACHING
Life Coaching with Heart, Hope and Humor
You deserve a space where you’re truly listened to.
I help people set clear goals
and take simple, steady steps to reach them.
I advocate for inclusivity and warmly embrace
individuals of all races, genders, sexual orientations,
national origins, body sizes, differing abilities,
and cultural or class backgrounds.
Why Work With Me
I’m Christine, a certified online life, relationship, and self-esteem coach. I truly get people and understand where they’re coming from. I’ve been through a lot myself—from childhood trauma to serious health challenges—and that gives me deep empathy for the struggles people face.
I also spent years single-handedly running a large, thriving nonprofit afterschool program, a job I loved. That experience taught me how to connect with all kinds of people, stay grounded in chaos, and help others grow. Combined with my natural deep listening and practical tools, it allows me to support real change.
I love helping people find happiness—I really do. I bring humor, compassion, and a down-to-earth approach that makes the work feel doable and even fun.
What I Do
-
Laser listening — hearing what’s beneath the words to find the real block and the real goal
-
Warm, judgment-free support while you set goals that matter
-
Simple, steady steps to move toward the life you want
How We Work
-
Clarify what you want, big or small
-
Break your goal into clear, practical steps
-
Use gentle accountability, real talk, and tools to keep you moving
-
Celebrate progress and adjust when life gets messy
I help people build confidence and let go of habits that hold them back—like struggling to say no, chasing approval, putting themselves last, or doubting their worth. I also support goals like improving relationships with partners, kids, coworkers, or friends, better time management, eating well, incorporating exercise, career moves, or simply feeling more like yourself.
If you want a coach who listens deeply, keeps things simple, and nudges you forward with humor and care, we might be a great fit.

"When I started working with Christine I had a rough idea of what I was hoping to accomplish. She was able to crystallize my goals and help me work through my obstacles. One thing I was targeting was my people pleasing, which had been causing a lot of self-resentment and overall dissatisfaction. Christine provided ways to practice being more assertive, clear, and direct in my communication, for example in emails and text messages. We also worked on ways that I could improve my relationships while still expressing myself honestly. She is very down to earth, a great listener and question asker, and has a good sense of humor. I recommend working with her if you're looking for help with any goal, big or small."

“I work with people daily and must say Christine is one of the most authentic souls that I have come across in a long time. We worked for a couple of months on my people pleasing tendencies. See, I am a very hard worker, very dependable and I am "the one" everyone goes to for assistance. The only problem is I take on way too much, and have a difficult time saying no, in fear of disappointing, or letting people down. Christine helped me prioritize what was most important to me and helped me have the confidence to say no to people in a way that felt kind but firm. During our time together I also realized I needed to carve out some "me time," and since doing so, I have noticed how more relaxed I have become. I never felt any pressure or judgement during our sessions and Christine is a GREAT listener. On top of all these amazing qualities she also brings amazing humor and a down to earth vibe that is comforting. If you are looking for someone to help guide you during some of life’s challenges, I absolutely recommend Christine's services!!”
