The somatic classes that Christine put together were an incredible blessing to my family and me. Christine has put the information together in a way that is easy to digest and absorb. It’s backed in research while also giving a lot of practical ways to engage with the information and implement it not only in your child’s life, but your own. I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and had multiple lightbulb moments where it felt like Christine was connecting so many dots to things I have experienced in my own life and observed in my children. It’s given us some new verbiage to use in our home and ways to model nervous system regulation with and for our children. Highly recommend!

Christine’s rare combination of grounded Christian commitment and depth combined with clinical knowledge and skill brought the material on trauma alive in practical and meaningful ways for my students. Christine is exceptionally engaging and knowledgeable but more importantly is attuned and caring in her approach. Her teaching with both change and inform you.

We invited Dr. Baker to facilitate a seminar for our church discussing the intersection of faith and mental health. Mental health is often a topic that Christians do not talk about because they see it as disconnected from faith or do not have the tools to address it. Dr. Baker provided biblical, practical information on the holistic and interconnected nature of body, mind, and spirit. She gave our people simple, repeatable practices to help address bodily responses to trauma and stress. These simple practices have helped people heal and allowed them the space to grow spiritually. I would highly recommend Dr. Baker to come speak to your church or organization.

Christine did an amazing inservice for my physical therapy team on trauma informed care. Her presentation style facilitated great discussion and she taught us tools and strategies that we could immediately start using. We all feel much more equipped after this inservice with Christine!
