 Christina explains that Ayurveda is a yoga sister science and holistic preventive medicine originated from India. 

“I got started in ayurveda several years ago. When I was in high school, I was introduced to ayurveda and yoga and over the course of my twenties it evolved into something that was kind of the cornerstone of my own self-care practices.” 

Christina is currently completely an internship through the California College of Ayurveda and teaching yoga and ayurvedic yoga.

In 2017, Christina lived and studied in Rishikesh, India for two months, where she was inspired by the beauty, fashion and food. 

"It was an amazing and incredible experience. I always wanted to study yoga in it’s birthplace and also experience ayurveda there. Where I was, I was near the Himaylan mountains and you can really feel God’s presence there. It’s an incredibly beautiful place."

“I definitely was inspired by India. I love the colors and different natural fabrics. I love the fashion. It was amazing and colorful and I fell in love with scarves. I still wear them, almost daily.”

After studying in India, Christina started working with clients and explains the process: 

“We have an initial consultation and I intake a lot of their information, specifically around their long term habits and patterns regarding sleep and food. We really focus on digestion and we’ll talk about their goals for why they are seeking ayurvedic health and then we use kind of, the basics of life and balance with opposites to create their best health.” 

She also gave us a few tips that she often tells many of her clients: 

“1. Get enough sleep. 2. Eat at the right times and the right amounts 3. Do things to support your digestion.”

In addition to her ayurvedic practice, Christina is also heavily inspired by fashion and in her experience modeling for us she tells us that she loved the outfits that she tried on: 

“It was all so comfortable. Every piece that I tried on, I felt like I could wear to work to visit a client or I could dress it up later to go out to dinner with my husband. Everything seemed versitalle and every piece was beautiful and felt luxurious. I loved everything.”
