Resilience Coach / Transformational Leader / Reiki Master / Author 

Christina Kunkle is the founder of Synergy Life and Wellness Coaching, and creator of Transformational Leadership Programs, Mastermind Circles, and Restorative Retreats.

Her greatest joy is helping Heart-Centered, Purpose-Driven High-Achievers create Balanced Success without Burning out by Working Smarter (not harder!), Playing Hard, and Resting Well.

She is a graduate of Southern University in Tennessee, where she earned a Registered Nurse degree. After twenty years working in the fast-paced fields of Emergency Medicine and Ambulatory surgery, she felt overwhelmed and overworked, experiencing symptoms of burn out and stress related illness. Not satisfied to settle, she set out on a journey to find happiness, balance, and restored health.

This journey with many twists and turns has helped her to go from just surviving to truly happy and thriving, finding her true calling in Resilience Coaching. Coming to understand that she was a Highly Sensitive Person, like many who are intuitively called to caregiving professions, required a deep dive into the principles of energy management. There she discovered the PEACE she had always been missing!

Now a Reiki Master Practitioner, she shares Self-Care practices and Neuro-Resilience Tools to Relax, Balance, and Heal the Overloaded Nervous System.

Her Coaching practice is dedicated to helping Busy Leaders like you transform Stress into Strength, providing Inspiration, Motivation, Education, Synergy and Accountability, so you can cultivate and enjoy work/life balance, without burning out like she did.

A confident and from-the-heart individual, her writings have been published in “Bloom” magazine for women, and Health Quest magazine (a lifestyle publication by Sentara RMH Healthcare.)  Her mission is to use her intuitive gifts to teach, guide, and coach through speaking, workshops, and one on one with clients.

Christina’s personal time is spent enjoying her home in Harrisonburg, VA with Garth, her husband of 28 years, Ben, their adventurous 27-year-old son, and Dani-Grace, their fun-loving 17-year-old daughter. As a family they have a great love for the outdoors, hiking with their dog Sox, and finding the humor and gifts in each new day.
