Offerings

Breathwork

Cristina was certified in 2025 by The Holistic Health Institute of San Diego to facilitate Breathwork.  Her favorite style of Breathwork is a long session of circular breathing, as these sessions can bring powerful clarity, insight, inspiration, relief, perspective, and release.  She is also qualified to guide pranayama style and mindfulness breathing. 

Trauma/Tension Release Exercises

Cristina is currently finishing her 3rd module of TRE training to become a certified TRE facilitator, so seeking volunteers to help her practice teach this modality of allowing the body to tremor to release stress and tension.  Learn more about TRE at https://treglobal.org/.

Pole & Dance

"Dancing is full-body vulnerability." - Brene Brown

Cristina started poling in 2017 after losing her son and she regularly returns to dance to process grief and emotion.  For her, it's not about showing off for anyone else, but for remembering who we are and embracing our power.  She completed The Pole Initiative teacher training in 2022 at San Diego Pole Dance Academy and loves to share the benefits of movement and music.

Yoga

Cristina was certified in 2014 to teach her favorite style of yoga, Power, or Vinyasa.  Her classes are sweaty, fun, dynamic, and adventurous.  As she's grown, she's also found the capacity to slow down and benefits from taking and sharing more gentle and yin-style sessions as well.  

Sound Medicine

Cristina earned her Sound Healing Facilitator Certification in 2026 at The Holistic Health Institute of San Diego.  The power of sound baths comes from brainwave entrainment and the positive effects of vibrations on the physical body. 

Meditation & Mindfulness

Cristina completed Blue Belt Meditation Fundamentals at The Wisdom Dojo in 2024 to deepen her own practice, then gained her Mediation Teacher Certification in 2026 at The Holistic Health Institute of San Diego.  Meditation is the art of sitting with ourselves and can be a beautiful tool for self-compassion, self-awareness, and resilience.

Fitness

Though her Les Mills Body Pump and American Council on Exercise Personal Trainer certifications have lapsed, her love for movement has not. :)  Great physical health involves wellness, strength, flexibility, and conditioning. 

Wanna mix modalities and try something new?! Let's do it.
