about christina ko
Christina Ko is a writer and a dreamer, a thinker and a feeler, a romantic but also a realist. Her purpose is and always has been to seek truth, and to see the good inherent in all of us, individually and as a collective. She hears voices in her head, which offer guidance and wisdom, but listens to and writes only from her heart.
She is, as you are, unfailingly human – and wouldn’t have it any other way.
CHRISTINA’S STORY
Christina Ko has made a career out of telling people’s stories. For the first two decades of her working life, she served as a journalist, editor and content strategist, before extending the scope of her practice into the realm of wellness. She finds meaning in uncovering and investigating the stories that help us make sense of the world at large, as well as creating experiences that allow us to explore our own inner narratives.
Christina’s career has been driven by a profound curiosity to understand people and systems. As an editor, this meant diving deep into understanding the purpose and function of content, from both commercial and editorial perspectives, as well as its place in an era where the role of media and information have shifted considerably. In her days as an editor, she loved nothing better than to explore how each story or interview contributes to a title’s identity, the role a magazine plays in identifying the pulse of society, and how it can serve to push its own agendas and points of view.
This insatiable interest eventually led her to leave a stable, enviable job of almost 10 years as editor of luxury-lifestyle title Prestige Hong Kong to launch her own content agency, writing for different publications and servicing luxury brands and local start-ups developing their content propositions, amassing a client list that includes the likes of Louis Vuitton, the Financial Times, the World Health Organization and more.
Taking on jobs large and small, she wrote Instagram captions and four-word advertising taglines for Estee Lauder; compiled market-intelligence reports for WGSN; penned the coffee-table book Steve Leung: Designing Asia & Beyond, published by Thames & Hudson; and led the launch of the pioneering Women of Power initiative for Prestige Hong Kong. She filed more press releases than she cares to remember, and found herself yearning for a broader view than that offered in the silo to which content agencies are often relegated.
Through interest and circumstance, Christina began to delve into the world of wellness and spirituality, finding it a relatively unmined editorial subject due to its esoteric nature and frequent designation as pseudoscience. She found she had something of a gift for translating new-age, woo-woo spirituality into grounded, accessible storytelling.
And then, one warm October weekend, Christina woke up to discover she was psychic. Messages began to flow into her head unbidden – facts that would come to fruition shortly after. Having spent her entire career telling other people’s tales, for the first time in her life, she was the story.
Launching Good Peoples as a hybrid studio space for creativity and wellness, she began to offer channeled readings, energy healings, breathwork sessions and workshops that bring together the spiritual and the practical. She has spent the last few years experimenting unapologetically, documenting her journey vulnerably, and walking the line between fate and free will.
Her current practice flows between content commissions and envisioning creative wellness experiences that allow participants to access the stories that lie within each of us. And more and more, she’s finding the niche where these two seemingly disparate paths cross: in a writing workshop that uses meditation and card readings to access deeper self-knowledge, wellness retreat journeys inspired by lavish brand events, trend-reporting on the local wellness industry, or brand positioning for a spa in a five-star hotel.
She still tells other people’s stories – because they are part of her own.
