Christie conducts her regenerative professional practice as a part of the core team of Regen Sydney who in 2023, sketched a first draft doughnut economics report and a compass for regeneration in Greater Sydney.

Her feelings about the climate crisis, biodiversity loss and the intersection with social justice heightened during the 2019-2020 Black Summer fires in Australia, having her own lived experience, being a mother and working at the front line with climate-impacted communities for psychological support and ongoing recovery. She is passionate about using climate psychology to enable systems transitions towards socially and ecologically just futures.

Holistic, intersectional orientation, pluralistic wisdom and cultural supervision inform her clinical practice and group experiential approach.

Christie lives on the lands of the Darkinjung People and Acknowledges their continuing relationship to culture, land and sea. She pays her respects to their elders, past and present, and the Aboriginal youth who carry culture into the future. She acknowledges that sovereignty was never ceded, and this was and always will be Aboriginal land.
