Christina Haakenson

Christina raised her two children, now grown, in Huntington Beach, California, while building and leading a design and technology agency now entering its 26th year.What began as an entrepreneurial leap grew into a long-standing business built on resilience, creativity, and thoughtful growth.Today, she continues to lead the company remotely from Pacific Rogue, embodying the very freedom and lifestyle she now helps others design.Alongside her work, Christina mentors entrepreneurs and leaders who feel called to build businesses that support not just financial success, but personal freedom.She is especially passionate about helping others create sustainable growth flywheels, simplify complexity, and step more fully into the work they feel most alive doing.Nature has always been her greatest teacher.Through trail running, time along the ocean, a fascination with the quiet language of stones, and a deep sensitivity to the rhythms that shape both land and people, she has developed a philosophy grounded in observation, intuition, and intentional living.At Pacific Rogue, Christina brings together her lifelong experiences as a founder, mother, mentor, and student of nature to create retreats that feel both deeply human and quietly transformative.Her approach is not to teach or direct, but to hold space, ask thoughtful questions, and help others rediscover their own clarity.She believes that when people are given the right environment, the right questions, and the right amount of space, they often find their own answers.
