My service is embedded in the art of creating healing spaces through creative self-expression and energy healing. Through these portals, I tap into the wellsprings of my innermost being, become a channel of divine intelligence, transmute my pain into wisdom, and translate them into words & experiences that can touch and heal others. My work requires deep empathy, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to helping others see and heal from their own emotional pain.

For me, poetry is a powerful tool in helping to give voice to the marginalized, creating a safe space for people to feel seen and heard. Whether I am working with words to shed light on difficult truths or crafting poems that evoke immense awe and love, my work as a healer and poet is always grounded in the desire to bring more candor and healing into the world.

Breaking Free:

A Self-Healing Journey

In a world where many suffer from loneliness, confusion and disconnection, Breaking Free is a blanket of brave comfort that soothes and tends to the heart of each reader.

Breaking Free will not only positively impact personal lives, but will be the catalyst for awakening on a global scale during deeper search for true connection to self, to other and to the Great Web of Life.


My overall mission with writing and sharing Breaking Free

to give the medicine that healed me to those who have struggled through similar experiences and to show that our traumas are not our identity but rather, a gateway into knowing our true selves outside our inner child wounds. I believe our wounds alchemize into wisdom for the greater good of our personal and collective evolution.

My passion is to use my voice for the voiceless and to reach others whose voices have been suppressed to encourage them to bravely speak about their truth and experiences.

Breaking Free: A Self-Healing Journey, is not just a book of poetry, but it is merely a roadmap that walks readers through a journey of Christine Marie’s return home to her inner child, leading her to heal and unearth her true self. Through poetry and short essays, Christine Marie bravely expresses her struggles and wisdom collected through experiences with mental health, intimate partner abuse, and human and spiritual disconnection-all at which lead her to hit a rock bottom in her early 20’s.  

Breaking Free will give readers the courage to tend to their own inner-child, own their personal experience and receive the permission to feel and face their unhealed ancestral pain so that they too, can break free of what holds them back from knowing and being in alignment with their true, divine self.

This book is a compass to many who seek for a sense of belonging and are still finding their way home.
