Dr. Christine Turner, Family Coach
Christine Turner has a doctorate in Multi-Faith Spiritual Direction and a Master’s Degree in Education. She is an author, teacher, and speaker and has piloted a program on healing family dynamics which she teaches in group settings. She coaches families, groups, and individuals on the ins and outs of healthy family relationships. She understands trauma, dysfunction, and sexual abuse issues and how these go on to affect the lives of families. Her coaching ties together healing from past pains, the psychology behind how needs are met within family systems, and how God ultimately heals and meets every need. As a former educator, she understands how to relate to and build connections with children and adolescents.
Christine Turner believes that after knowing Him, God’s greatest desire for us is to have loving, safe, family relationships. She believes that the walk of faith is three dimensional; coming to know and love God, learning to love ourselves, and to become safe and closely connected in our relationships.
