Christina's journey into holistic wellness began with a strong foundation in science. Driven by a passion for understanding how things work and solving complex problems, she earned a Master's degree in Chemistry and spent over 10 years working in the field. Although she loved the precision and logic of science, Christina felt called to explore a more natural and integrative approach to health. That curiosity led her to study natural product formulation, opening the door to the transformative world of essential oils. Her passion continued to grow as she pursued advanced education in essential oil chemistry, energetics, and therapeutic application, becoming a Certified Aromatherapy Practitioner in 2015. Christina has continued to deepen her expertise through an Aromatherapy Retreat in Sault-en-Provence, France, an Essential Oil Safety Masterclass following the birth of her first child, certification as a Registered Reflexologist (RRCO), and specialized training in Aromatherapy Massage at the Joyessence Aromatherapy Centre. Today, Christina combines her scientific background with holistic healing to create personalized aromatherapy products and therapeutic experiences tailored to each client's unique needs. She is passionate about supporting individuals and families on their wellness journeys, helping them reconnect with their body's innate wisdom and cultivate balance, healing, and transformation.
Massage
Aromatherapy massage combines massage techniques with the therapeutic properties of essential oils, hailing from the techniques developed by Margarite Maury and Madame Micheline Arcier. The focus is on the lymphatic and nervous systems, including the full body and head. With a large portion dedicated to the pressure points along the spine, aroma massage has a strong effect on the nervous system, inducing deep relaxation. Some of the benefits include: improvement in circulation, reducing fluid retention, encouraging sinus drainage, reducing tension and inflammation, and overall rebalancing of energy flow throughout the body. During an aromatherapy massage, you both inhale the essential oils and absorb them through your skin. Essential oil blends are chosen specifically for each individual, based on initial consultation. What will be taken into consideration: - Chemical properties of each oil & their scientifically demonstrated effects on the body - Emotional effects of essential oils through their interaction with our olfactory and limbic systems - Subtle properties (plant energetics) - Any contraindications (ex. based on pregnancy, medications, medical conditions)
Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic practice that involves the application of pressure techniques to the feet. The feet can reveal physical, mental and emotional imbalances and reflexology works to bring the body back into balance. It promotes deep relaxation and supports the body’s natural healing processes. Reflexology has been shown to improve circulation, sleep, digestion, immune function and reduce stress and anxiety.
