About Me

Hi! My name is Christie Elliott!

One of my closest friends told me one day that I am like an octopus! She is totally correct! An octopus cannot live without water and has many curiosities, sheltering away at times and adapting to its environment with unique expressions. They have so many arms wanting to do so many different things. I love to function this way—doing just one thing does not stimulate and challenge me enough.

I have spent most of my professional career as a hairdresser, a path that has allowed me to connect deeply with people from all walks of life. The conversations, relationships, and experiences shared over the years have helped shape who I am today. Sitting with people in moments of joy, struggle, celebration, and transformation taught me the value of listening, compassion, and human connection. Those lessons continue to influence every aspect of my work and life.

I am fascinated by the ways I understand and accept myself since my friend shared her insights. People need people! I envision wearing a tool belt as I move through life. In each pocket, I carry tools that help make me who I am today. These tools are the things I enjoy and thrive on using to help others see more beauty in their daily lives. I hope to offer a deeper sense of purpose to those with whom I share experiences. Intentional living with love, light, and humility supports me in having less anxiety and fewer expectations of this world.

So, I am a bit strange like an octopus, and it may be hard to understand all my arms and what they do. They have all served a purpose in healing me, bringing me peace, and creating a deeper connection to nature, Spirit, and appreciation for life as it is today. I desire to honor what has been given and shown to me by sharing in an unorthodox way because this is how my relationship with God and Spirit has always been. The Divine uses nature, wildlife, art, music, imagery, and words to communicate with me.

Creativity has become one of the most meaningful ways I explore and express my connection to the world around me. My creative work spans photography, mixed media, natural materials, acrylic painting, and watercolor. Each medium offers a different way to observe, interpret, and honor beauty, whether found in nature, human experience, or quiet moments of reflection. Through creative expression, I continue to learn, heal, and discover new perspectives while inviting others to do the same.

My passion is to guide and help others connect with themselves through nature, physical activity, creativity, and observation in stillness. I strive to create a safe space for exploratory healing and to open the possibility of seeing new perspectives both within oneself and in the natural world.

My love for travel, adventure, self-improvement, creative expression, and spiritual practice has enriched my life in countless ways. I have compassion for those who struggle and feel stuck because I have been stuck and in dark places many times myself. The energy spent in counseling, yoga, therapy, meditation, support groups, and deep personal journeys has given me the strength to break through to love and compassion. I am deeply grateful for the people who have held my hand and carried me through difficult seasons, especially my husband. He has shown me what love looks like on this earth.

This is my full expression of self and my deepest passions laid out as an offering of hope. If I can accomplish this for myself and a few others, I will be elated and grateful. I am a spirit living in a human world, desiring human experiences while seeking higher spiritual truths that resonate deeply within me.

Life is enhanced when shared with others and shared experiences.
