Well, that’s exactly what Note Advisors, LLC believes.

To Christine Mathieu, wealth has nothing to do with money. Instead, wealth is a state of well-being – our state of happiness and fulfillment. Our purpose, then, is to live in a way, personally and financially, that supports our well-being and the well-being of others. 

As a survivor of cancer, divorce, and bankruptcy, Christine knows a great deal about navigating major life transitions. Through her experiences, she has learned that we hold the answers to our problems and struggles. The key is to learn how to trust yourself, allow what matters most to take the lead, resulting in wonderful and unimaginable outcomes. 

Through wealth coaching, Christine teaches individuals, families, and business owners how to transform their relationship with wealth by changing the way they look at money, what they believe about themselves, and what they think is possible. 

Christine is a Certified Money Coach (CMC®) as well as an ordained Metaphysical Minister and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Metaphysical Science. She also has decades of experience as a financial advisor, legacy officer, and as a wealth coach. “Coffee” is Christine’s favorite time of day, spirituality is her favorite subject, and if she is not at work or at home, you will find her on the sidelines of a soccer field cheering on her boys.
