About Christina
Mentor & Therapist | Honoring Your Inner Journey
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I honor the sacred inner journey of my clients. I assist you to live in alignment with your soul, discover your soul’s purpose, and energize the passion and courage to live it fully.
My gift is presence. My gift is prescience. What matters most is feeling and sharing the sacred path of self-realization and loving.
With over 50 years of experience in the healing arts, I weave together EMDR, Craniosacral Therapy, Equine Healing, and Tango Therapy—creating a holistic pathway to profound emotional wellness and wholeness.
Vision
I began to study Argentine tango in 1998. The metaphorical language of tango, the listening skills needed to hear intense and subtle pieces of the music, and the fine motor skill needed for dancing it have also influenced how I work with clients. Our bodies have a magnificent ability to express feeling, but are able to do so in a unique way when embraced and held with loving intention.
Through my workshops and practice I hope to be able to create more connection between people, and self connection to our spiritual resources. the abilities to be truthful, to forgive, to enjoy, and to re-create are needed for our biological systems to function in the most efficient way. Our brains would much rather be assisting our renewal and our highest levels of art and play, rather than dragging along on auto pilot.
I would like to be a part of new kinds of community and housing that include organic farming, “domestic” skills, and integrate all of the community into a sense of belonging.
Through the travel opportunities I offer, I hope to give participants a new perception of culture, and expand the sense of gratitude and enjoyment with ordinary and extraordinary experiences. I invite them to form kinship with others while enriching their own sense of purpose.
