Christine Gerike, M.A., Trauma-Informed Coach and Facilitator

As a trauma-informed life coach and group facilitator, I am passionate about trauma-informed personal and collective transformation. We are living in challenging times. Conscious onboarding of our past through deep inner work, facilitates and accelerates healing and peace. As an agent of conscious social change, I facilitate practice spaces, trainings, and support individuals  on their healing journey.

In 2015,  I moved with my familiy to the greater New York area.  Before, I lived and worked in Munich, Germany.  In my private practice Passion into Purpose I offer individual coaching sessions, group workshops and facilitation.

I was a member of the German NGO Center for Human Emergence from 2015 to 2023, and I have been supporting the work of the non-profit organization The Pocket Project as a group facilitator since 2017.

Before opening my own practice, I worked as an organizer and manager for a number of local and international educational institutions.  I hold a Master of Arts degree from the University of Münster, Germany, in U.S. Studies, Economics, and Political Science.
