Chris Poellein founded the Sun Raven Wellness Centre in 1999 with the clear vision to provide a gateway to conscious living. She has been studying metaphysics and meditation for over 25 years and spent decades researching, learning and experiencing the powerful connection between the mind, body and spirit.

Yet still she confesses with a smile "the more I think I know, the more I realize I don’t know anything".

As a professional skier she represented Germany for six years at the World Cup Circuit

• She won the European Cup six times 
•  Placed second twice in the Word Cup 
•  Finished third at the World Grand Prix in 1980. 
  

In 1982, while competing at the World Cup, Chris suffered a debilitating back injury that promised to leave her paralyzed. Her internal "power tools" of visualization, meditation and surrendering where put to the test.

By applying the laws of the universe, she defeated all medical diagnosis and stunned doctors by walking again in as little as eight month post trauma. As one door was shut, many more opened.

Chris ventured to Victoria, British Columbia, where she met Brian Tracey, a world renowned motivational speaker. Chris was very excited to see both motivational and metaphysical concepts put together into a powerful seminar.

She had first hand experienced the truth of these concepts as a World Cup Skier and knew that this way of thinking had brought her in the world’s top three list. Chris began presenting the seminars to the corporate world. She observed that people left the seminars all fired up and ready to take the "bull by the horns".

But within the next two to three month 95% of the seminar participants crashed. The lack of support let people fall back into their old habits.

Unsatisfied and sad Chris stepped back from the seminar business until she could find a way to truly enable people to implement their desired changes. Now 20 years later, Chris offers highly experiential workshops that triggers all cellular memories and guaranties a high level of lasting change and success.

In the meantime a close friend introduced Chris to Reiki. She began practicing this healing art in 1986 and received her Master initiation in 1991. Her passion for Reiki comes through every time she teaches a first, second or third level class.
Beside offering Reiki treatments and training to people, She began applying this amazing healing energy to the animals she loved. "My dog does not question the energy or wonders if it would work… she just lovingly bathes in it" Chris notices.

She started to worked with many horses at an equine racetrack, but quickly realized that her efforts and results were being put to a counteractive use. As soon the horse seemed pain free, it was put back into the race. Chris then decided to work only with horses and animals in the pasture, aiding their achievement of harmonious wellbeing as nature intends.
 
On her spiritual journey Chris met with First Nation Elders who offered to exchange the Reiki training for their traditional teachings. "An exchange of medicine" as the Elders called it. This further expanded Chris’s spiritual horizon. Over the following years She was invited to participate in many different sacred ceremonies and teachings. After many years of apprenticeship she earned the right to lead sweat lodges and pass on medicine wheel teaching.

At this period of time where change is explicitly evident in all aspects of life, Chris decided to share all her combined experiences and knowledge with the world. Her easy going personality, her humor and passion for life and people makes Chris a dynamic speaker and teacher. Her personal journey and the content of her seminars have been subject to numerous newspaper, radio and television interviews.
