My name is Cristina, and I am a qualified nutritionist and herbalist.
My journey into this field began several years ago when I sought to understand my own weight issues and the dietary choices that could help me address them.
I started my education at a local adult learning center, where I was inspired by a wonderful naturopath. Her passion ignited my curiosity, leading me to enroll in a bachelor’s degree program in Nutritional Medicine. Since then, I’ve embraced a lifelong learning path.
As I approached my 30s and planned for motherhood, my focus shifted to preconception, pregnancy, and postnatal care. I became increasingly aware of the crucial role that diet and lifestyle play in supporting both mother and baby.
My special interests lie in women’s health and wellness. I firmly believe that our food and lifestyle choices are essential for preventing and managing illness, and that natural medicine can significantly contribute to this process.
To deepen my knowledge, I completed a bachelor’s degree in Western Herbal Medicine. I am fascinated by how medicinal plants can promote health and restore balance within the body.
In my practice as a nutritionist and herbalist, I take a holistic approach, seeking to uncover the underlying causes of health conditions. I prioritize listening to your complete story, ensuring a personalized experience.
Western Herbal Medicine beautifully blends traditional wisdom with modern science, allowing for tailored formulations that enhance vitality and well-being. It is the oldest form of medicine, practiced by diverse cultures for thousands of years, focusing on treating not just symptoms but root causes.
Herbal remedies can take many forms, including liquid extracts, infusions, powders, tablets, capsules, and topical applications like lotions and creams. My goal is to empower you on your journey to health through informed choices and natural therapies.
