She has over 20 years of experience in the health, fitness, and wellness industry, and in her private practice, specializes in guiding clients through trauma, burnout and Compassion Fatigue which are very common in these professions. 

Empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and harmonize their lives, she believes that  everything is connected on many different levels. With that attitude, Christina attempts to integrate the many tools, learnings, gifts and sources of wisdom that she has collected over the years into her psychotherapy practice.  Her trauma-informed approach ultimately strives in helping to support and heal the entire individual in a natural, holistic and integrative way, using tools, techniques, and therapies such as: mindfulness, psychosensory, cognitive behavioural, energy psychology, somatic work, spirituality, hypnotherapy, experiential, emotionally focused, expressive arts, movement, and more.  As the use of Havening Techniques has shown tremendous transformation in her clients, and because it is a natural easy to use, safe and rapid technique which can treat and help a variety of client issues, Christina is thrilled to have added certification in Havening Techniques to her toolbox as another non-invasive healing modality to help support her clients in achieving their goals.

Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in her sessions Christina promotes behavioral transformation, holistic healing and reconnection to yourself by encouraging awareness, a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes, feelings and reactions. She has many tools and experience to help you get back on track and guide you to shift from surviving to thriving.  

As an experienced Fitness and Exercise Professional, Christina incorporates and promotes yoga, mindfulness, meditation, exercise and fitness into her practice for health, wellness, recovery and injury prevention.  In recent years, she has begun sharing her practices with her clients and students.
