More about Christina...

My journey hasn’t been easy—and that’s exactly what makes my work in holistic wellness so deeply personal.


From a young age, I experienced frequent illness and a variety of health challenges that shaped the way I view healing today. As a child, I faced learning delays in areas such as speech, reading, and comprehension, along with vision and hearing impairments. By my teenage years, I was also managing recurring migraines and anxiety.


As I moved into adulthood, those early challenges evolved into more complex imbalances—emotional patterns like self-sabotage, negative self-talk, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, codependency, and an unhealthy relationship with food and addiction.


In my 30s, I faced a wave of persistent physical symptoms: migraines, extreme fatigue, brain fog, chronic constipation, inflammation, food sensitivities and allergies, gut imbalances, autoimmune conditions and diagnoses, and two concussions—one of them severe. I spent years in physical therapy struggling with neck pain and weakness; bracing my head in one hand became normal. My low-back pain was eventually diagnosed as degenerative disc disease, mild stenosis, and SI joint dysfunction. Over time, I developed muscular and structural issues that led to a spinal injury—triggered simply by bending over to pick up a small log for the fire. I began to lose bladder control and leg function, and standing or walking became difficult—I could not do either for more than a couple of minutes.


Surgery and lengthy rehabilitation were required. What shocked me was that months after surgery, I was back to experiencing extreme levels of daily pain and still wasn’t finding answers from providers. My quality of life dropped again just when I thought I was finally regaining it.

That’s when I found Energy Healing, Functional Bodywork, and Craniosacral Therapy.


Beyond the physical challenges, I carried emotional residue from unresolved childhood trauma and multiple near-death experiences. These struggles didn’t just affect my body—they touched every part of my life: my relationships, my self-worth, and my ability to feel grounded and present in the world.


Yet through all of this, I discovered something essential: true healing begins when we stop pushing and start listening. When we learn to tune in—to our bodies, emotions, and inner wisdom—we create space for deep, restorative change. The body knows how to heal when we offer it awareness, compassion, and the right environment.


Healing is not a straight path, and it doesn’t happen overnight—but it is possible when we honor the full picture: body, mind, and spirit.


That belief is at the heart of my work. I’m here to support you—not just as a practitioner, but as someone who has walked this path and understands, on a soul level, what it means to struggle… and what it means to heal.
