Christie hails from the great Canadian north! And she has found her heart happily at home Down Under.

She is a corporate lawyer based in Chamberlains’ Sydney office.

After a decade in the fitness industry (teaching Pilates, yoga, and personal training) Christie grew her business into a successful blog, beautyandthebod.com and opened BOD, a bricks and mortar studio in the heart of Toronto. Selling BOD was difficult decision but it was time for a change, and adventure called in Australia!

At first, Law was far from her radar – but the closer Christie got, the louder the call rang, and she has never looked back. The University of Sydney provided an academic challenge and, most gratefully, Christie met some incredibly bright learned friends. Her favourite courses were Jurisprudence, Corporate Law, Family Law, and Criminal Law.

While completing her Juris Doctorate, Christie taught reformer Pilates and had the pleasure of teaching some of Sydney’s leading legal minds the art of lunging.

Handstands, beach walks, and cooking are a few of her favourite things.
