Testimonials
Misti Stirling
"I feel more autonomous and in control of my journey. Gaia’s Compass allowed me to open up to female companionship and openness that was unprecedented for me. Every encounter was unique, was planned but not to the point of feeling rehearsed, and the format of the program (monthly embodiment themes) worked really well. Cristina worked very hard to ensure we were all cared for and satisfied in a way that I have never had with a coach or therapist."
Sianne Borhem
“This program filled a void inside me that nothing else ever could. In my experience with the ladies of Gaia's Compass, I learned to love myself on a deep, core level, and became part of a community that makes me feel whole. No matter my skepticism or mood, being with these women rejuvenated my soul every single time, without fail. The effect of this program transcends just the meetings. Each day of my life feels more connected, aligned, and purposeful than ever before. Forever grateful for Cristina's dedication to helping women embody their highest versions of self. Her unrelenting passion is truly a gift."
Renea Thompson
"I cannot recommend her programs or memberships enough. I truly believe in Cristina’s mission, message, and tools she’s teaching, and I’m grateful for the changes and growth I’ve experienced with her. I no longer refute the power of mystical and spiritual experiences that happen to me. While being guided by her, I’ve deepened my gratitude practice and come to realize the true extent of my ability to manifest that which I energetically align myself with.”

“Gaia's Compass was like a journey back home to myself. It helped me unravel the stories I was telling myself unconsciously, and allowed me to reclaim them in a conscious way. At the end of the 4 months, I felt like I was finally able to find complete joy in the present, and really connect with myself and other women, while also feeling the endless possibilities for the future.”
Jodi Meisenheimer
“This program gave me the tools I needed to start developing my own consistent rituals. Morning gratitude practices and meditation/breathwork have become a norm instead of a distant goal.It opened the portal between my body and my mind through movement/dance and gave me access to the powerful choice to live within my body instead of numbing it through mental narratives.”

Group Leaders
Cristina Schooler
Hi! My name is Cristina and I swear by the power of group dynamics and what we can accomplish together.
I partner with women in group events and programs to create more coherence, trust, self-expression and confidence in every part of their life. My passion is to translate energy and personal freedom principles into digestible and practical techniques. When a strong, uplifting community of women support each other and facilitate transformative learning together, magic happens.
My entire career has revolved around leading groups. That first began in corporate wellness coaching and outdoor teaching programs in places like Texas, Montana, and China. It’s since evolved to producing alternative live experiences based in Austin, like Rewild Retreats, the Rewild Festival and my signature program, Gaia’s Compass.
I hold expertise in the realm of neuro-linguistic programming, authentic relating, visualization, nature therapy and breathwork. Combining this knowledge with my personal experience adventuring in nature and around the globe, I design mystical and pragmatic programs to help women live as their most full, free and purposeful selves.
In my free time you can find me adventuring, camping, cooking nourishing meals, investing and dancing my booty off with friends and my partner, Brendan. I am primarily based in Austin, TX but spend a lot of time in the mountains of Idaho and the beaches of Florida.
Alicia Ortiz
Alicia Ortiz (AO.DailyRitual, creator & guide) studies and teaches how to improve ways of consciously relating with each other & our environment, specifically through language & communication. When she learned the ways our nervous system is inherently programmed to seek safety through co-regulation, she rediscovered a universal truth: the heart of love is rooted in conscious connection. That means, it matters how we treat ourselves, how we show up, and how we value our relationship with the world around us - in the name of love.
Alicia is a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Coach, trained in Eriksonian Hypnosis, Timeline Therapy, and transformational grammar. With yoga & permaculture ethics in mind, she is armed with over 400 hours of certified study in yoga, meditation, trauma, and racial consciousness. With a professional background in sales & marketing, she is aligned with her highest purpose while supporting the rise of our collective consciousness.
