✦ About Me ✦
Hi, I'm Renee Christian — and before I'm anything else, I'm a human being who has lived through a lot of the things I now help others navigate.
I'm a transformational coach, advocate, consultant, speaker, and community leader with over 20 years of experience in disability advocacy and disability justice work. But honestly, my work didn't begin with a title or a business. It began with my own life experiences, my own healing journey, and my deep desire to create the kind of spaces I wish existed for me growing up.
I was born three months early and diagnosed with cerebral palsy. From a young age, I experienced trauma, instability, foster care, institutional systems, and environments that often made me feel like I had to fight just to be seen as fully human. I know what it feels like to have people make assumptions about you before they ever get to know your heart. I know what it feels like to struggle with identity, confidence, belonging, and trying to find your place in a world that constantly tells you who you should be.
"For a long time, survival became my normal. But somewhere along my journey, I realized I didn't just want to survive anymore — I wanted to heal."
Everything I create is centered around helping people reconnect with themselves.
I believe so many of us are carrying stories that were never truly ours. We carry trauma, shame, fear, self-doubt, survival patterns, and beliefs we learned from the world around us. My passion is helping people strip away those layers and reconnect with the version of themselves that has always been there underneath it all.
I created my work — and my community — to be a safe space. A space where people can breathe. A space where you do not have to pretend to have it all together. A space where healing, growth, vulnerability, authenticity, and empowerment can exist together. Whether I'm coaching, speaking, advocating, facilitating trainings, or simply holding space for someone's story, my goal is always the same: I want people to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported.
My work combines lived experience, transformational coaching, hypnosis, leadership development, emotional intelligence, advocacy, and community empowerment because I know real transformation is not just about mindset — it's about feeling safe enough to become who you truly are.
I also deeply believe in the power of community and care. None of us are meant to do life alone. Some of the most healing moments in my life came from being in spaces where I finally felt accepted, understood, and supported without judgment. That's the kind of environment I want every person who comes into my world to experience.
"More than anything, I want people to leave feeling inspired — not because they think I'm extraordinary, but because they begin to realize there is strength, beauty, resilience, and possibility within themselves too."
My life has taught me that even after trauma, hardship, loss, rejection, or systems that try to limit you, you still have the power to grow, heal, redefine yourself, and create a meaningful life.
And if you're here reading this, I hope you know this space was created with you in mind. You are welcome here exactly as you are.
