I feel very strongly that we often go to the doctor to be put on this hamster wheel of medications and diagnosis codes. You get medication for one problem, then suddenly you’re on a slew of others to treat the side effects of the first one. Only to return every 3-6 months to visit your doctor to keep the medications on board or increase the dosage.

We live in ebbs and flows of life. How on earth could something that worked last year work this year? It’s a different season of life! 

Okay now- calm down. 

Don’t come at me thinking I don’t believe in medicine and healthcare as a whole. I do. Kinda. 

Let’s rewind. *hang in there*

With over ten years of experience in healthcare, I noticed some gaps in the corporate system. We can do better, we can become our own health advocates. I love to help people find loopholes to get the best care. We must feel comfortable asking questions and not feel intimidated to just “go with the flow”.

I love finding non-traditional ways to improve health and wellness, truly embracing a whole body approach. We deserve to live life to the fullest and the journey we are put on. I am the most fulfilled when I can help others figure out where they are in their health journey and what support they need to move forward! Life is a balancing act and is much easier when we have real support in place. 

"Not all those who wander are lost."

I am excited for you to be inspired and learn about the ever changing healthcare world from a new perspective. 

No bullshit here... this is a space of authenticity and support. 

i'm so glad you're here!

Get to Know me

Now for the “real life” bits…

I was constantly at the doctor. I had appointments every month to follow up on my medications and my long standing diagnosis of anxiety. Which eventually was followed up with a side of: nausea, dizziness, heart palpitations, blurred vision, constipation, fatigue, and zero motivation to move or clean anything. 

SERIOUSLY- my house was filled with laundry and stacks of things I ignored. BUT, I should have been feeling good right? I was seeing doctors on a regular basis and taking medications as directed. A full list of medications!

One day, I went to see a neurologist because no one could quite figure me out. (Healthcare loves to refer you out to someone else and then oftentimes no one knows what is happening..!) 

Guess what he told me?!

“The medications you are taking… they are making you sick.”

WHAT?! He also told me that if I continued with the medications I was taking, I could be facing long-term mobility issues and lose gross motor skills in the next decade.

While I would NEVER recommend quitting medications cold turkey… SERIOUSLY, don’t do that- I chose to do it. I had lots of support in place and even supplemented some natural things to ease the symptoms. 

I gave up my laundry list of medications and the following 21 days after that was a blur. Insane withdrawal symptoms, being uncomfortable, not sleeping, feeling desperate and hopeless. 

On the other side of it, I started with a clean slate. To this day, I can say I am living life without the use of Benzodiazepines. Yes, I still live with the diagnosis of anxiety, but I have a much different relationship with that label now. I also was officially diagnosed with ADD and feel good with my current plan. The other symptoms have minimized or are gone completely. This is because we are treating the ROOT CAUSE. 

Now, I am living in a new season. A season where I believe in my choices and know what my body needs. This journey has been nothing short of pure hell at moments- but now I’m here to walk with you on your journey. The support I had- saved me. You can’t buy healthcare, but you can invest in your health in a way that feels good to you.

"I just wanted to let you know that I got on the scale, even though you told me not to. I am down 5lbs since we started. I feel like I have lost inches too, I haven't measured yet. I have made healthier choices when going out to eat. If I splurge now, I do it in moderation. I am remembering my vitamins now, you are awesome!"

"I had never entertained the idea of working with a Health Coach when I met Chris. After a lifelong battle with food and fad diets, her approach to healthy living sparked a new type of fire within me. My life has been forever changed. Chris has encouraged lifestyle changes that have improved not just numbers on the scale, but I have more energy than ever, I have completely rearranged my relationship to food. The best part is that through practice and education she has equipped me with all of the ability to do this on my own. I am forever grateful for the experience.”

"Christina is truly doing what she is meant to do, she has such a gift in providing individualized plans for clients.  She has given me the tools that I need and options I have never even thought of. Christina was able to pivot when I needed her to in my plan without any trouble. I have recommended her to a family member already and look forward to sending her referrals in the future."

“Having Christina as a Health and Wellness Coach was exactly what I needed to get my health back on track. I just had a baby and started a new business and I really don’t have time to think of recipes, grocery lists, or things I should or shouldn’t be eating. She came in and took care of that and really lightened my load and helped it to make it easier to get back in line with my health. She also really helped with accountability, which is also super helpful when trying to start your goals back. I would definitely suggest trying her out because she is the bomb!"
