Cristina is a seasoned Traditional Naturopath and Bioenergetic Practitioner with 20 years of experience in holistic healthcare. Her passion for natural medicine began in her teens, and by the time she graduated high school, she knew she was destined to follow the road less traveled and pursue naturopathy. Cristina earned her B.S. in Alternative Medicine and her Doctorate in Traditional Naturopathy while studying under Dr. Seneca Anderson, founder of Longevity and a pioneer in the field of naturopathy. This unique combination of formal education and hands-on mentorship gave her a solid foundation, blending evidence-based knowledge with practical, real-world application. It also shaped her into a compassionate, intuitive practitioner dedicated to addressing each patient’s unique needs with a balance of scientific understanding and holistic care.
Early in her career, while embarking on her journey into motherhood, Cristina began noticing a significant rise in chronic health conditions among children. This observation profoundly impacted her, as her desire to raise healthy children at home aligned with her growing passion for helping other families do the same. Recognizing a gap in holistic pediatric resources, she was inspired to complete her dissertation on PANDAS/PANS, conditions she regularly helps families navigate the complexities of with expertise and care.
Building on this foundation, Cristina has devoted most of her ongoing education to pediatrics. She regularly attends leading functional pediatric conferences and has earned certifications in homeoprophylaxis as well as prenatal, postnatal, and infant nutrition. Her latest educational pursuit is completing a fellowship with the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS), further equipping her to support children with complex medical and developmental needs.
As a mother of four, Cristina brings a practical, family-centered perspective to her work, resonating with individuals and families seeking natural, effective solutions. She understands the real-life challenges of implementing dietary changes and supplement regimens and emphasizes creating comprehensive healing protocols that are both practical and sustainable. Cristina believes in making health a journey that even children can actively participate in, helping patients of all ages understand the “why” behind wellness for lifelong benefits.
Cristina is passionate about restoring health, preventing chronic issues, and helping patients build a foundation for resilience and vitality. Rooted in the belief that true wellness begins early and thrives with proactive care, she combines compassionate support with cutting-edge scientific research to empower individuals and families to achieve lasting health. Whether she is working to restore children’s health, prevent chronic conditions, or promote lifelong wellness, Cristina is dedicated to creating a healthier future for her patients and future generations.
