Christine Dickson knows transformation because she’s lived it.

Today, she’s the founder of On the Path Coaching. As an international speaker, mentor, and retreat host, she blends Hypnotherapy, Integral Eye Movement Technique (IEMT), and Equine Assisted Coaching to help clients heal deeply, break toxic cycles, and create a life of freedom and purpose. But the path that brought her here was anything but linear.

Her life, once full of promise as a scholarship student at a prestigious private high school, had spiraled into chaos. At 15, she had been sent to live with her mentally ill, alcoholic mother, surrounded by dangerous crowds, and met a man who would take her down a dark path. High-speed car chases, shootouts, and drug-related arrests saw her life careening out of control.

After years spent running from the law, one day it all came crashing down: a raid by the federal government, over 20 felony charges, and 15 months in jail. After pleading guilty in return for her freedom, she was released and returned to her children. She was broke, now an ex-con, with no formal education and no prospects.

Then came the realization that changed everything: no one was coming to save her.

“If I wanted my life to be different, I had to take full accountability,” Christine recalls. That clarity was the turning point. 

Over the next two decades, she worked to rewire her subconscious, sought out mentors, studied relentlessly, and slowly built a new reality—one she glued onto a vision board: the ranch, the retreats, the travel, the home filled with peace and love.

It didn’t happen overnight. But it began when she stopped waiting for permission and invested in the one thing no one could ever take from her: her mind.

A Holistic Approach to Transformation

Christine Dickson has lived on both sides of the tracks. She’s been on the 11 o’clock news for all the wrong reasons — and she’s also built a life that, at one time, she could only dream about.

Through her signature Path to Freedom Method, Christine combines deep subconscious work with practical tools and experiential coaching. 

Hypnotherapy clears limiting beliefs. IEMT resolves emotional imprints from the past. And her Equine Assisted Coaching—often held on her Los Angeles-area ranch—uses the intuitive presence of horses to help clients shift patterns and reconnect with themselves in profound ways.

 Christine is also outspoken about a growing cultural challenge: the slide into supporting a victim mentality rather than cultivating resilience. 

“Too often, people are taught that healing comes from others changing,” she explains. “But true freedom begins when we stop outsourcing our power and start reclaiming it for ourselves. The only thing we can control is how we show up—and that’s where real transformation happens.”

Her clients range from entrepreneurs reigniting their purpose and parents regaining custody from abusive partners to public figures seeking a safe space to heal. 

“What I do goes beyond mindset,” Christine says. “It’s about helping someone see the systems and patterns keeping them stuck, understanding where they came from, and building a whole new way of being—one that’s grounded, skilled, and free from the past.”

The results speak for themselves. Clients have left toxic relationships, rebuilt family bonds, launched long-dreamed-of businesses, and stepped into lives they once thought were out of reach.

What Sets Her Apart

Christine’s work is infused with empathy, compassion, and a unique perspective. She’s lived in both affluence and poverty; worked in menial jobs and climbed the ranks of a high-level career; and been viewed as both broken and privileged. This breadth of experience allows her to see multiple sides of every situation without judgment.

“I’ve seen both sides—what happens when we collapse into helplessness, and what happens when we step into resilience,” she shares. 

“I can spot patterns quickly—whether they’re in relationships, career, or self-image—and help people dismantle them. But more than that, I help them believe in the possibility of something better. It’s less about changing who they are, and more about stepping into who they were meant to be.”

Her clients describe her as both fierce and compassionate—the anchor you want when it’s time to end cycles of guilt, self-sabotage, and silence.

The Road Ahead

Christine’s vision for the future is as bold as the work she’s already doing. Over the next three years, she plans to reach more people who’ve grown up in chaos or found themselves in toxic relationships. 

Her books, courses, speaking events, and podcasts will expand her impact. She also dreams of bringing greater awareness to the courts and law enforcement about the devastating effects of manipulative relationships with people suffering from personality disorders—and how to recognize victims within the legal system.

Just as importantly, she hopes to spark a wider cultural shift: away from disempowerment and toward resilience. 

“When people learn to regulate their emotions, confront challenges head-on, and stop giving their power away,” Christine says, “they don’t just change their own lives—they inspire others to do the same. That’s how we break cycles, not just personally, but generationally.”

Travel will continue to play a central role in her work. Her retreats, held in stunning locations around the world, are designed to break people out of their comfort zones and catalyze inner transformation. 

“Travel opens people up,” she says. “It disrupts their patterns and makes space for new ways of seeing themselves and their lives.”

A Life Once Believed Impossible

When she’s not guiding clients toward breakthroughs, Christine can be found hiking with her dog, tending to her horses, gardening, or filling her kitchen with the aromas of Sunday dinners shared with friends. 

Her life today is one she once thought was impossible—and she’s committed to showing others that no matter how far they’ve fallen, freedom and fulfillment are possible.

Her message is simple and powerful:

Resilience, not victimhood, is the path to freedom.

Christine will help you free yourself from the past and forge your future.
