​

Cristina oversees Women's, Maternal and Pediatric / Adolescent Health - along with Labor and Delivery Doula support services. She also specializes in the care of Oncology and Chronic Illness patients, and provides adjunct Hospice care to both adults and children.

​

Her patients come from all walks of life, a wide range of health concerns and every level of fitness. Her approach is gentle, holistic and personable.

 

In addition to her training in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), she is a NADA Certified Detox & Trauma Specialist, a DONA trained Labor and Delivery Doula, and a Member of the American Pregnancy Association. Most recently she became a GGS Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist and a Member of the Menopause Society, and is actively engaged in staying up-to-date on the latest research and protocols regarding Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapies to enhance her work with women mid-life and beyond. In support of her other clinical specialties, Cristina has advanced training and certification in Integrative Oncology Acupuncture through Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, International Oncology Certification from the TCM Academy of Integrative Medicine, and is a Member of the Society for Integrative Oncology. 

​​​​

Her clinical practice began with a Internal Medicine focused on treating complex autoimmune conditions and Oncology support, but has evolved to include a large Women's Health focus, including pre/post pregnancy, perimenopause / menopause, and adolescent care.

 

She’s developed individualized programs for women and their partners before, throughout and after pregnancy – including Labor and Delivery support and integrated Doula consultation. Her experience extends to Fertility & IVF Support, High Risk Pregnancies, Breech Presentation and Delayed Labor.

 

Prior to her work in TCM, she spent 20+ years working with diverse business, private, civic, cultural and non-profit communities as an Executive Director, Senior Manager and Independent Consultant. Much of her work focused on human rights issues related to community health, youth and families and culturally based groups (Indigenous & Latino / Chicano). 

 

Her Doctoral work (Stanford University) was the culmination of her life and work experience - using "real life stories," coupled with hard research to challenge the inequities of U.S. policy on the health of Indigenous and Latino / Chicano communities, families and children - and propose changes.

 

Cristina is a passionate believer of health care beyond a "Western-only" perspective – and openly advocates for the reintegration of culturally-based, traditional medical practices into public and private health care systems which reflect the communities they serve. 

 

She is an active advocate for family and child health as a Consultant for public policy, non-profits, governments, Indigenous Communities, health & educational institutions and Foundations throughout the U.S.
