Specialized Gyrotonic Master Trainer and Certified Gyrokinesis Pre-Trainer & Guest Teacher

A native of Los Angeles, Christina began her love of movement at age two. A professionally trained ballet dancer of 22 years, Christina embraced Pilates, Gyrotonic methodology and yoga principles to improve her body’s capabilities. Thanks to the inspiration and mentoring of Kathy VanPatten, Christina found her passion for teaching at the very young age of 18. She has undergone years of extensive training, dedication and hard work to become one of the best movement educators in her field. She continues to further her professional development through workshops, seminars and continuing education. Christina’s two decades as a dancer and 15 years teaching clients give her a practical and scientific understanding of energetic, muscular and skeletal relationships to movement. This experience fortifies her intuitive grasp of the body that allows her to guide clients to a deeper understanding of themselves. Inspired by her young children, she is a dedicated and passionate doula and natural childbirth educator with The Bradley Method®. Christina helps mothers prepare mentally, physically and spiritually for childbirth and their recovery after birth. Studio clients benefit from her expertise as well as her compassionate and supportive approach. “I believe we cannot achieve our potential, nor live a life of fulfillment without wonderful, inspiring friends around us,” she says. “It brings me great joy to share my talents in movement with family, friends, clients and colleagues.” Her goal is to educate and inspire through a loving and positive environment.
