Welcome to the Good Life Academy! We hope the programmes you find here will become like companions on your journey of expansion and growth this year – a year like no other we’ve experienced on this planet so far!
In many ways, 2026 could be considered a ‘threshold year’ – a year that bridges the ‘old’ way of being on this planet with the new. Whoever we are – wherever we are – 2026 will likely stretch us, test us… and bring us face-to-face with anything still to be worked on, on our path to full self-realisation. It will also catalyse us in discovering more of the gold we have inside – as the programmes we offer on these pages are designed to do!
Whether you’re a long-time client or student, or are just starting out on your journey with us, we hope that you’ll find this site easy to navigate and find what you need. Perhaps start on the Courses page and see what we offer, then read about the 30+ years of coaching, mentoring and teaching experience (and inner enquiry) that have gone into the development of this Academy (see our About page).
And if you like our vibe, consider becoming a Good Life member. You’ll be the first to know about any events & tasters we have coming up. You’ll also get your own members page, where you can view all your programmes and resources together in one place. And it’s free!
Enjoy being part of the Academy – and feel free to let us know of anything you’d like to find here to make these times more fulfilling for you – or easier to navigate!
The Good Life Academy is not just about living a fully authentic life, deeply connected with our truest selves, with Nature, with each other and with the cosmos – though that’s part of it. It’s also about ‘throwing off the ballast’ – doing the inner work so we can make the Shift into true 5D consciousness and living. (As the picture shows, the view really does get better the higher you climb)!
You’ll find courses, programmes and trainings here to help catalyse your journey – and articles and books to inspire you along the way.
All trainings are hosted and facilitated by Tonya Christie, along with an experienced support team. You will be able to meet some of the team members on these pages soon.
Tonya has been facilitating self- and spiritual development courses since her teens, when she went through the first of several radical awakenings, which define what most of her work is about (see About page).
‘The way that Tonya works feels like a combination of laser precision coaching, shamanic journeying, medical mediumship, past life regression, midwifery and innocent playfulness.
‘I trust her clarity of perception and loving embrace implicitly and wish everyone could experience some of this.’
‘Thanks again for an amazing weekend – you are a gifted space holder/ alchemist. So…’

It won’t have escaped your notice that things are changing on planet Earth right now! Some of the structures and ways of life that we saw as cornerstones of our reality are crumbling – and many of the changes are permanent!
As part of this great ‘5D Shift’, a large swathe of humanity (those that are open to it) are moving from a largely 3D existence and perspective (one characterised by a sense of separation, division, fighting for resources and so on) to a more 5th dimensional state (experienced as a sense of clarity and flow, a profound sense of responsibility and a feeling of connection to all things – what we might call ‘unity consciousness’).
This doesn’t necessarily mean we leave our bodies! In fact, in many ways, it’s about becoming more fully embodied and connected – not just within ourselves, but with Nature and those around us. We often become more effective on a 3D level too (but in an aligned way that is in sync with other people and the natural order of things, too).
As a function of this great Shift, there’s a whole new level of craziness happening on a 3D level than ever before. And, though none of us would perhaps have chosen for it to be this way – it could actually be seen as catalysing and helping facilitate this Shift within us!
To illustrate what I mean, I’d like to share a realisation I had after watching frogspawn grow into tadpoles in a nearby pond.
I discovered that some tadpoles, once hatched, grow into frogs that first year, while others choose to stay in the pond and metamorphose the following year.
Why is that? Because of a build-up of ‘warning chemicals’ in their part of the pond – due to other tadpoles being eaten by predators, or when there is some poisonous algae in the water, for example – the perceived ‘threat’ in their environment actually causes them to evolve faster!

And, though I know it’s a bit of a stretch, you can almost see the same sort of thing happening in humans on our planet at the moment.
As things become more ‘character-forming’ in our human world – with all sorts of crazy things going on to unsettle and shake things up, it pushes us to dig deep and evolve into more of our potential, more of the divine human beings that we are at core…
A ‘perfect storm’ of different challenges – from climate change, to the collapse of financial markets, to global pandemics, to crazy goings-on on the global political scene… it’s like a build-up of warning chemicals in our human pond.
And so, in this environment, a lot more of us are waking up and starting to evolve into our mature – or conscious – state – where more of our innate gifts are accessible to us and we can live from more of what we truly are.
And not before time, perhaps! As I mention in the clip below, this is no time for us to be basking at the bottom of the pond on deckchairs, sipping pina coladas (pardon the Titanic pun, here). There is only a limited window, perhaps, for us to wake up to the opportunity and metamorphose into the divine human beings we are at core. And it’s a process that, like the tadpole transforming into a frog… or the caterpillar into a butterfly – it takes every ounce of our energy, passion and our commitment.
And my belief is that we each have all the resources we need to make this Shift. We just need a little help finding them!
And that’s what we aim to do with the courses and trainings you’ll find here at The Good Life Academy, as well as our individual and group coaching programmes.
Here’s the video I refer to above… [Scroll down to Books/Talks/More at the bottom of this page to find out more about my novel, Manual for the Conscious Car Driver and the other books I’ve written and published].
