About Christina
Aloha, I am a Hawaii-based integrative and non-diet Registered Dietitian with over 20 yrs experience in health and wellness. I am also a Yogi and Reiki Master, therefore my philosophy is âwhole-isticâ, and I use a body-mind-soul approach anchored in self care and self love. While my current areas of focus/expertise are Intuitive Eating, general health, gut health, and womenâs health, I have worked with many other health conditions as well. Whether you want to make peace with food and your body, improve your digestion, tackle a specific health concern, or simply create a more balancing and nourishing lifestyle, I am here to support you!
Approach to care
My sessions are personable, relaxed, highly individualized, collaborative, and revolve around your needs. I take a non-diet, weight-neutral, as well as food as medicine AND pleasure approach while incorporating coaching techniques to help you make gradual, sustainable behavior changes. I am passionate about educating and giving my clients the tools and knowledge to become their own health and nutrition experts.
Your first session with Christina
In our initial session I like to learn more about YOU, your concerns, health history, and lifestyle patterns so we can start drafting a plan to get you the outcomes you are looking for. Iâll explain how I work, what to expect, and how to get the most out of our sessions. Sometimes we dig a little deeper to reveal any root causes, habits, or limiting beliefs that might keep you stuck. My initial goal is that you leave the session having clarity about where you are at, where we are heading, while feeling safe and supported.
