Cristina is a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner-in-training with over 20 years of personal practice and more than a decade of teaching experience. 

Her work is grounded in a trauma-informed, whole-person approach that integrates yoga therapy, Somatic Experiencing®, nervous system regulation, breath, movement, and embodied awareness to support healing, resilience, and quality of life.

Trained at the Maryland University of Integrative Health, with clinical experience that includes Johns Hopkins, Cristina brings together evidence-informed practice and compassionate care through a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens.

She works with individuals and groups across a wide range of experiences, including healthy aging, neurodegenerative conditions, chronic pain, stress-related concerns, cancer care, and caregiver support. She also collaborates with the University of Miami Brain Health Initiative, developing community programs that promote cognitive vitality, emotional well-being, and nervous system health.

Each session begins by understanding the whole person—their health, experiences, goals, and strengths. Together, Cristina and her clients explore personalized practices that support greater awareness, regulation, resilience, and connection.

At the heart of her work is a simple intention: to help people feel more at home in their bodies, especially during times of transition, challenge, and change.
