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.
