Christina’s Passion
Beyond her education and experience, Christina’s battles and traumas are the driving force in assisting people with life transitions that can affect their overall wellness. A victim of childhood sexual abuse, Christina has struggled with self-image issues, depression, and substance abuse. Thankfully, she has maintained sobriety for twenty-two years and counting.
After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2019, Christina underwent a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Unfortunately, complications led her to go flat, igniting a passion for advocating for women and men contending with this dreaded disease.
