Christina Themar is an educational and development coach. She started Next Chapters in 2016, guided by a lifelong passion for helping people to be at their best – whether that's young children preparing for school transitions or marginalized workers building better futures.

​

For over a decade in Hong Kong, she has partnered with families to navigate school admissions and beyond. What keeps clients with her

– some for nearly a decade – isn't just successful interviews at top international and local schools. It's her holistic approach: building confidence, developing social-emotional literacy, and ensuring children don't just get accepted, but genuinely thrive in their new environments.

 

But Christina's work extends deeper into the community. She provides career coaching and empowerment training to professionals. She also partners with Hong Kong NGOs and Government bodies to deliver tailored support to migrant domestic workers, helping them access better opportunities and build sustainable futures.

​

Christina’s background includes two decades of international development work, including in Jordan and Mongolia as a United States Peace Corps volunteer. She’s worked across globally accredited organisations such as the Narada Foundation, The United Nations Industrial Development Organization and The Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots & Shoots Program.
