Garden of Grace with Christina
Vocal Activation Coach, Sound Mystic, Womb Healer & Writer
“Celebrate your life. Celebrate every moment that you've been through.”
I guide my clients in reclaiming their sovereign voice and experiencing vocal empowerment.
I know I was divinely guided to work with Diamond, and I’m glad that I did. Diamond’s guidance feels like a meeting with a best friend or Sunday morning brunch. She’s so down to earth, easy to open up to, brilliant, wise and always guided by her Soul and by spirit. She’s professional and has a plethora of ancient wisdom and guidance when it comes to life. I’m so grateful for this mentorship.
Aloha, I’m Christina. I’m a sound mystic and womb healer. I guide my clients in reclaiming their sovereign voice and experiencing vocal empowerment. I’m easy going and love living in my dream location here in Maui, Hawaii and reading and writing short stories and playing in herbs and creating something scrumptious and satisfying with plants and wildflowers.
Before mentorship, it was almost like this explosive, second awakening I was going through, and I was like, Whoa.
At the time, I had just gained all this knowledge, information, and healing. I had just finished courses on writing, Hawaiian chant and prayer, and light language, and I was like, I want to do a mentorship. I was feeling kind of lost—should I start my business? Should I not? I was just in this transitionary period where I was working; healing from the sister wound, what some people call the witch wound, and the mother wound; and going through all these feelings inside. I needed a mother figure, a friend, a mentor. I needed guidance, because I didn't know what to do. I was feeling kind of lost.
Everything felt kind of like a whirlwind for a little bit before the dust settled. Because right after this was Lionsgate. This was the big disaster that happened in Maui. This was after my friendship broke up, and everything just came to a head.
And my gifts were just awakening. So I was like, Oh, my gifts are getting stronger. I wanted to hone more into my channeling. I had these beliefs in me that didn't feel like my own. I felt like I was holding on to other people's beliefs and it didn't feel genuine. Like channeling, I always felt like I had to prep myself almost like this religious act. And then there [were] also these limiting beliefs I had about my body and then my own femininity and sexuality, and just all the beliefs that were given to me. I was almost ready to just pick them all up and be like, Here. Take this, transmute it, do whatever you need to do with it, Earth. Give back all the energy that's not mine.
I noticed I had a lot of fear and was so out of touch with my own Soul, energy and voice.
I was scared to take the next step. At the time, I was working as a supervisor, and then I stepped down to focus on myself. And there was also some fear there [financially], and I knew that I had to overcome that too. So it was like I was expanding and stretching, and the Universe was kind of pushing me out, asking me to do a little bit more than what I thought that I was capable of. And I wasn't quite there yet, because I was still scared a little bit.
And so then, it was reading one of Diamond’s morning notes. And my Soul was like, Yeah. I was connecting deeper and deeper to it. And I was like, Oh, she reminds me of me, like her writing. And then I thought back to my inner child Self. She kept coming up. How I saw myself sitting by the window in the corner. I had this chair in my room, and I would go through books devouring them, like Cookie Monster or something. I would just write these stories of these crazy foreign places with these exotic trees, and the wildest thing I could think of with the craziest names. And I was like, Wow.
It was almost like a key and a lock opening for me, and something just clicked.
And I was like, oh, I want to do her mentorship. Like her writing, I'm just resonating with it because I was really on this path of being the writer, the author, the creative artist. And I was like, Oh, I just have to do her mentorship. I have no idea what this mentorship is going to be like, but there's definitely going to be some channeling work involved because I knew I was channeling a lot more.
I had already met Diamond. I had already been on a couple of sessions, and that was the confirmation for me as well. And then just connecting with her Soul, and then connecting with other Soul Tribe on the calls. I was like, Okay, I'm gonna do this. Just seeing how we all had very similar gifts, and I just knew, like my Soul just knew. It felt very grounding, and I can't find the word for it. I just knew.
The surprises, the journeying within the foundations of mysticisms…
Finding myself again, rediscovering my Soul, finding my voice, our sessions. With Diamond holding space and her poetic and loving words of Truth and honesty in a most gentle way, her sessions are soothing to the Soul.
And we always had a good laugh. Also her experience as an Oracle and entrepreneur assisted me greatly with starting my wellness business. I started a business in sound healing, found my love again for music, singing and healing with plant medicine and creating flower essences. I got to know my Soul as if we had been Soul mates our whole life because we have and I met her in a brave new way. I feel so much more love, compassion and self sufficiency, that I didn’t know before. I enjoy reading again and especially writing and I discovered what it means to journey to new heights with my Soul. I’m never alone and I always feel at home. I feel courageous and brave again, I’m confident and loved! What changed the game was that moment where…
I started to soften and believe in myself, and began to take action.
Even when it was kind of scary and even when it felt like it was out of character for me, and where I felt, Am I doing the right thing? Is this really me? I had this mindset of, is this a sin if I do this because of my religious upbringing? And there was still some releasing of that as well, but it was the moment I became comfortable with myself. It was the moment I said, I love myself. That was the big shift, and everything changed.
So now, I’ve decided to finally, just Be. And this has been a message for the last couple years, since the beginning of my spiritual awakening [and] healing journey back in 2020 when I felt like my eyes were opened and it was like, Oh, there's another option. There's something different. And I always felt like I was trying to get to that point of just Be, and I feel like I'm there.
And at first it was like trying on a new pair of pants. It was kind of like, I like these. These look cute, but I don't know if these really fit. Do they look good on me? Yeah, I think I'm gonna walk in them. I think I like them, at first. And then it was just like, Oh, I'm a human being. Oh, okay, I get to be like this. It was like an alien putting on a human suit. Like, oh, okay, I can do this. Yeah, I can finally do this. Now, I got it. I can do this.
Oh, it's such a relief to just be me. To just be human. I don't have to worry about other people's expectations. It was like I didn't have to pull anything off. I didn't have to pray it off. I didn't have to, like, meditate it off. It just fell off. It was like shedding skin, even easier than that. It just kind of slipped off. You know? It's like, when you wear a dress and it's too big, and it just gently dropped to the ground, [and I]stepped out of it. Ah, okay, yeah, I finally released that. And that's what I feel like was the end game for me. I was just Being and being okay.
There is such a relief in just being the type of person and the woman I want to be.
I finally realize it's like this happened at 30 that I just want to be and take it easy and not have to race for the next thing. Or feel like, oh my god, I gotta obtain this, or get rich quick. Or like, race after this and have to get this degree and this accolade. And it was like I was always grasping for something, and honestly it was exhausting. And something just clicked in me the other day. It was like, Oh yeah, those things, they dropped off. Oh, okay, I get to breathe. And there was no nervousness that followed. Just being. It was really nice. Wow.
And now it’s like, You’re good. You can do this now.
You know? You're ready now, and I started to feel that towards the close of our sessions. I really like working with Diamond, and she's been my favorite mentor. She's taught me so much, and then there was also the mother in her, the sister in her, the mentor in her. I needed that healing as well.
My Soul is like, Okay, you can do this. You're capable, you can do this. Now, you know you have the tools. Now you get to share it with the world. However, that looks.
[Now] I celebrate life. Just living.
And I think that's one thing that we brought up during the mentorship. What I saw in morning notes [were] moments of celebration. Like, if you ever see on the iPhone when you say congratulations and you get the little fireworks, the image that comes to mind, but like, if you're scrolling, and I don't know where you just see those little fireworks, Soul reminders, like celebrate. What comes to mind is my Soul bringing me a 15 to 10 second dance Break: “Celebrate your life.
Celebrate every moment that you've been through, and everything that you've ever faced, and all the things that you've overcome, and everything, all of it. And then when you're done with that, go ahead and celebrate other people and remind them that you love them, that you cherish them, that you admire them, that you care about them, and (she’s getting really sentimental) that you are their treasure, and they are your treasure. And it's like opening a gift. There's always something else to celebrate. There's always something more. So never think that it ever ends, or that this is it and that there's nothing else, that this is the end. There's always going to be more, there's always going to be something else. You're an eternal and infinite being, and there's always something.
Stop doubting that you're hearing me and that I'm speaking through you, and that your words are strong and precious. You're more than enough, and you are and this is something you get to share with the world, you know? Just share. This is why we have things like this. This is why we have mentorships. This is why we have teachings. It's not just for us, but it's for everybody, and we get to share it. And that's the beauty of community, is that you have something and you give it to somebody else. This is what tribes did. This is what community did. This is what Unity is. It's like we go, we fish, we gather the berries, and we share those berries and fish with someone else. We gather the cacao, we gather the coffee bean, whatever it is, and we share it with someone else. That is community. And this is interconnected, and this is the universe.
It starts at the root and it grows up like a big tree, and the tree grows out and it sprouts, and it's planted and it stems. Or its bark grows out and the leaves fall and even the ground has something to mulch up or decompose, and it receives it. So it's an ecosystem of the universe, and we're all helping each other, and we're all helping one another, and it's what you would call the diamond effect. You always use the analogy of the diamond, or of the facets of the diamond, and discovering something new and different, because there always is more to discover.
So never assume that any one thing is just linear, because there's always something else, and there's always something coming forward, and always something, expanding within you, contracting however you look at it within your mind, or the finite mind, it's always something more to discover. That's it. I'm complete.”
Ah, that felt really good. It felt like a wave, just moving through my body. It was like water. Oh, my God.
I know I was divinely guided to work with Diamond, and I’m glad that I did.
Diamond’s guidance feels like a meeting with a best friend or Sunday morning brunch. She’s so down to earth, easy to open up to, brilliant, wise and always guided by her Soul and by Spirit. She’s professional and has a plethora of ancient wisdom and guidance when it comes to life.
I’m so grateful for this mentorship.
