How her approaches translate to online work
Christina draws on mind-body techniques and Pain Reprocessing Therapy to address persistent symptoms. Mind-body work focuses on noticing bodily signals and learning gentle ways to reduce protective responses. This approach is often used for chronic pain and stress-related symptoms. Pain Reprocessing Therapy involves identifying thoughts and sensations that keep pain active and practising new responses to reduce fear and bodily alarm.She also uses somatic and embodied processing methods that attend to the nervous system. These practices involve simple body-based exercises and pacing to help decrease reactivity. They are practical for people managing anxiety, trauma-related symptoms or long-term pain. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative; Christina and the client decide together based on needs, goals and what feels manageable in sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try body-focused exercises in a familiar setting while keeping therapy focused on pacing, grounding and practical steps to reduce symptoms.
