Who is Christena?

Born and raised in small town southern Alberta, Christena enjoys skiing, mountain biking, volleyball and various types of movement/exercise.

Add in, wife and mom to 3 boys and you've got a pretty fun and busy household.

​

In her early 20's Christena became interested in "alternative" healing. Each book read and each course attended gently nudging her to where she is today.
 

What sets Christena apart?

With an open mind and never ending curiosity, Christena is fascinated with all the things, that connect all the things.  Having a diverse skill set, Christena understands that there is never just one way.  Each and every client is at a different place in their journey and she is able to use her unique approach to make everyone feel safe and heard. 

​

Who would benefit from Christena's treatments?

Anyone willing to try something just a little bit different. Anyone with an open mind and the desire to change (after all, if we don't change anything, nothing changes). Anyone willing to learn, re learn and apply new self care techniques and movements into their daily lives.
