Your Facilitators

Christina Laughton

Christina Laughton is an Intuitive Coach, nurse with 35 years of experience, Reiki Master, program director, entrepreneur, and energy horse communicator with a deep passion for helping others unlock their full potential. Originally from Boston, my journey began over 27 years ago when I sought to heal my own emotional and physical struggles. Along the way, I discovered the power of intuition and the ability to see and address the unseen blocks that hold us back.

As an Intuitive Coach, I guide others to reconnect with their inner wisdom and create a reality aligned with their highest potential. I firmly believe we are the creators of our own lives, and I help my clients uncover the tools and insights they need to heal, grow, and thrive.

My work also extends to a profound connection with horses. I believe horses are extraordinary partners in healing and self-discovery, offering unique energy and wisdom. To truly harness their gifts, we must approach them with respect and understanding as equal partners. Horses have an unparalleled ability to reflect our emotions and help us move through barriers we may not even realize exist.

In 2022, I launched the Magic Carpet Ride, a transformative six-month program blending intuitive coaching, self-discovery, and community. This program teaches participants how to access their intuition on demand while supporting emotional, physical, and spiritual breakthroughs. It’s a one-of-a-kind journey into your own non-physical world, where all the answers you need to create your dream life are waiting

Whether through coaching, intuitive work, or connecting with the healing power of horses, my mission is to empower others to embrace their own potential and create a life of joy, health, and freedom.
