About Christina Young
Christina Young is known as ‘The Healing Heart Coach’ through her work as a Surviving Infidelity Expert and Relationship Coach. She is author of new book A Woman’s Guide to Forgiving Infidelity - how to save your self esteem and restore trust (bookshaker August 2011).
Christina specialises in ‘helping women emerge whole after infidelity’ with a passion for assisting women to confront and overcome infidelity and other challenges in their life which are having a negative effect on their relationships.
Having experienced sexual, physical, emotional abuse, bulimia and infidelity in her own life, Christina knows the impact it can have. In 2007, her husband, Doug, announced he had been continually unfaithful to her right from the start of their 24 year marriage. This included a string of one night stands and an 18 month affair with her best friend. Christina and Doug managed to come through the experience not only stronger, but still married and happier than ever. Building on her own experience and compassionate nature, she has now helped many women including celebrities and people in the public eye to get through the pain caused by infidelity. Christina is the mother of three children, and a grandmother of two.
Christina decided to become a coach after attending a personal development weekend course back in 2005. At this event, she was forced to face up to her past childhood challenges which had had a huge impact on her life up to that time. By the end of the weekend she knew that her purpose in life was to help others. This lead to her training to become a Master Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner (NLP), Certified Hypnotherapist, Accredited Relationship Mentor and Certified Inner Power Therapeutic Coach. She discovered through her work and own experiences that much of how we relate to people goes back to childhood patterns and behaviours.
Christina is a regular media contributor on infidelity and relationship difficulties and has appeared widely in broadcast, print and digital media.
