CRISTINA, A HOLISTIC WELLNESS PRACTITIONER FROM LUGANO, SWITZERLAND
Cristina's journey into holistic wellness began with her innate curiosity and passion for movement and personal growth. At 19, she left her hometown in Switzerland for a global adventure, eventually finding herself in the mountains of Dharamsala, India.
"A life-altering accident set her on a path to explore various healing modalities."
Cristina's studies include Chinese medicine, classical massage (Heilpraktikschule in Selbstverwaltung, Berlin, 2012-2015), Thai yoga massage (Berlin, 2014, Chiang Mai, 2023), fire cupping (Berlin, 2014), and physiotherapy (Medizinische Akademie Berlin, 2014-2017).
Under the guidance of her spiritual mentor, Tobias of Kambo Berlin, she delved into the world of Medicine Work, conducting Kambo and Bufo ceremonies together in Berlin.
Trained in martial arts, boxing, yoga, and fitness, Cristina also discovered a passion for circus and performing arts during the pandemic. She integrates these creative aspects into her retreats, enhancing the overall experience. Cristina holds a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Ashtanga Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga (Rishikul Yogshala, Kerala, 2018) and is trained in yoga nidra and Ayurvedic massage (Salubrious Ayurvedic Center, Kerala, 2018).
Now well-established in Goa, India, Cristina offers a range of wellness services and Medicine ceremonies.
She met Mike O'Meara from the Celtic Breathwork Community, who trained her as a Breathwork facilitator. Together, they host transformative Medicine Retreats that combine Kambo, breathwork, and movement exploration.
Cristina's comprehensive approach to healing has positively impacted over 1500 patients, solidifying her reputation as a skilled and compassionate practitioner.
