INTRODUCTION
ABOUT ME
hey there
CHRISTINE WEHRMEIER
MIND-BODY EDUCATOR & CERTIFIED TRE® PROVIDER
I’m originally from Sydney, Australia and have German and Japanese heritage. I have lived abroad for much of my adult life, mostly in London, as well as in Germany, Czechia, Indonesia and Iceland. Home is now Aotearoa New Zealand.
I have a B.A in Psychology from the University of Sydney and I trained in various stress and trauma healing techniques after I experienced a burnout that forced me to go beyond what the clinical world had to offer, in order to find effective and lasting help and healing in my life.
I didn’t realise the state of my body and my lifestyle had such a direct impact on my mental health. It took ongoing back-pain, a burnout, a business failure, debt and a consequent early mid-life crisis to get me to take stock of my life.
I sought help from various experts over the years, from doctors, physical therapists, talk therapists, complementary therapists, and while I appreciated their work and expertise, none of them had the answers for me.
The first crucial step on my journey to healing was committing to re-build my life around my wellbeing.
Then I discovered valuable somatic tools and wisdom, including TRE, mindfulness and so much more, which I realised were crucial for being wholeheartedly human.
I now share these valuable pieces of the puzzle so that everyone can experience the possibility of inner freedom and what it means to feel truly alive.
