Hello, everyone!
My name is Christine Rodriguez. Above everything, I am a spiritual seeker, eternal student, and wish to be of service to others. I wish nothing more than to bring healing, expansion, and growth into my own life and within the world around me. My educational ventures, relationships, and spiritual life are of utmost importance and I will share a bit about my journey thus far.
I knew that I was home when I landed in Austin, Texas in 2011. It was in Austin that I connected with my first Vedic astrology teacher, Mehtab Benton, of whom I owe so much of my knowledge and inspiration. I was fortunate enough to study under Mehtab for one on one mentoring as well as followed him for workshops and various astrology series. After 8 years of study, I decided to branch out to other teachings and completed the University of Vedic Astrology (UVA) training with Joni Patry, becoming a certified Vedic Astrologer in 2020. Having the opportunity to study under Joni was a great pleasure and privilege. I have also been fortunate enough to be deeply influenced by James Braha, Yogi Baba Prem, Dr. Andrew Foss, and Dr. David Frawley. I consider all of these people my teachers and major influencers.
My background includes an undergraduate degree in Social Work with secondary academic disciplines of Anthropology and African American & Diaspora Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. I have 2 years of experience working with refugees and survivors of trauma in the United States. I fulfilled my Masters in Social Work with a clinical focus in August 2020 from UT, and had the opportunity of working with survivors of abuse and neglect as well as The Red Cross as part of my final field experience.
Though I have devoted countless hours towards study in order to deepen my knowledge of the human spirit, yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedic astrology, I still feel that I am just touching the tip of the iceberg. I am always a student first and work to receive all clients with humility. No one knows you or your needs better than you do – making you an expert of your own life! My role is to offer what I know, but more importantly – follow your lead and act as a support in assisting you in creating the life that you want.
