About Christine
Hello there, I’m Christine, founder of Plenish Mind Health. For over 27 years, I have been a registered psychologist, keenly helping people improve their life.
Ever hungry for knowledge, I recently trained to be a Certified Facilitator of Dr Brené Browns courses which has been immensely inspiring. Being spirited by nature, I can’t help but convey my passion around mind health and have the privilege of sharing my offerings regularly on radio, television, online and print.
Life Changing Retreats
What your retreat experience will include...
- Feel genuinely supported and understood by connecting with likeminded people.
- Determine how to set healthy boundaries so that you can thrive within your relationships knowing that everyone’s being respected and valued. Therefore generating meaningful relationships.
- Identify your character strengths and how to secure them as your super-powers.
- Harness a Refined-Mind by understanding how thoughts influence feelings which govern behaviours. Engage in vital psycho-education, (understanding how your mind effects your mood and how mental health effects your wellbeing).
- Via the power of Celebratory-living you will learn how to make the most of each moment.
- Discover new ways to look after yourself, emotionally, mentally, physically,(self-tending). Break free of old patterns of negativity, fear and self-criticism.
- Learn how to truly appreciate the person you are and adore your own company (personal-connection). Understand yourself and be a better braver version of yourself.
- Learn the art of ‘self-validation’ instead of seeking it from others. That is, finding self-worth that’s lasting and internally driven.
- Set meaningful, current, achievable goals. Be excited by the ongoing challenge of life. Step outside…no… dance outside your comfort zone.
- Create new meaning with the 5Cs (Clarity, Connection Courage, Creativity and Celebratory-Living)
