ABOUT

Hi Friend, I'm Christina Anania

I have a deep passion for nature, healing, creativity, learning, and connection, and I truly cherish the work I contribute to the world. As a highly sensitive person and a natural empath, I am often striving towards the slowness of living in this fast-paced world. 

A little about my journey..  

Throughout my life I have been weighed down by a feeling I could never understand. A feeling that took me into the depths of my own inner pain and darkness. As life moved forward and I dug a little deeper in my own interpersonal journey, I realized that what I was experiencing all along was grief.

Grief that manifested as the loss of myself, that showed its presence through anxiety, panic, and fear. This led to a disconnection from my identity while trying to please others. It intensified during significant transitions and losses, particularly when chronic illness took control over my life.

My journey to holistic healing and self-development began over a decade ago, when I was in the midst of my own inner chaos and struggling deeply with my own personal experience with anxiety, panic attacks, burnout, self-doubt, physical ailments and my own kind of darkness. I was drawn to this work after many relentless years of navigating my own healing journey in the darkness, alone.

Through my personal experience with my own physical, spiritual and mental health journey, I have come to understand human nature in a holistic and interpersonal way and recognize that although healing must come from within, we require trusted guides to hold us along the way. I believe that it is vital to acknowledge the entire individual and understand their full story to help uncover their truth. 

My approach is to gently guide my clients toward their most aligned selves by meeting them where they are and supporting them in the process of coming home again. I work with my clients by creating a safe container which is built on the foundations of trust, empowerment, deep connection, openness and contribution. 

I look forward to connecting with you.
