“I didn’t choose this path. It chose me.”
I was a driven MBA climbing the corporate ladder, fueling myself with sugar and caffeine, checking all the boxes of success — until my body brought me to my knees through three dark nights of the soul. A one-time seizure that shattered my sense of safety. Cervical cancer that quietly rewrote my priorities. And finally, the third initiation: an open, terrifying breast tumor that stopped everything and demanded I listen in a way I never had before. My crisis became my curriculum. Those moments didn’t just change my health — they changed how I understand healing itself.
The Root, Not the Ripple.
Symptoms aren’t random. They’re sacred messengers.
I didn’t come to this work because I needed another credential. I came because I knew — in my bones — that symptoms aren’t random. They are sacred messengers, signaling hidden disturbances upstream. And too often, so-called “normal” labs miss the story unfolding beneath the surface. What I wanted wasn’t symptom management. I wanted truth. That search led me to immerse myself in the science and the soul of healing — training at the intersection of functional medicine, nutrition, human potential, and behavior change.
This Is What Healing Actually Looks Like. Not Chasing the Next Answer.
Building the internal conditions that allow the body to restore itself.
Along the way, I became a Board Certified Integrative Nutrition Coach, a Hormone Cure Practitioner trained in Dr. Sara Gottfried’s celebrated protocol, and ultimately a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner — not to collect letters, but to gain a framework that finally matched what I knew to be true.
Healing doesn’t happen by chasing symptoms. It happens when we listen for the root, not the ripple. My work is grounded in advanced functional lab tests and root-cause assessment, allowing us to uncover hidden healing opportunities upstream — often where conventional approaches stop looking.

My Approach
A Note From Christine“My work is rooted in presence, attunement, and creating the space for your own inner wisdom to emerge.”
“Rather than rushing to interpret, diagnose, or fix, we slow down enough to listen — to the body, emotions, nervous system, and the experience unfolding in the present moment.”
Attunement
Learning to listen to the subtle language of your body. Not interpreting it, not reacting to it. Listening.
Witnessing
Meeting your emotions without trying to fix them. Letting what’s there be there.
Presencing
Staying with your direct experience without leaving yourself. Actually staying.
Allowing
Creating space for your internal process to unfold in its own timing. Not forcing resolution. Not rushing the body toward an outcome.
Co-regulation
Where your nervous system learns what safety actually feels like in relationship, through consistent contact, not cognition.
When you finally have the data instead of guesses, something shifts. Your body stops bracing. It stops performing. It softens. And in that softness, it begins to reveal and resolve the hidden dysfunctions that have been quietly driving your symptoms all along — not through force, but through truth.
