The light and dark of nature, the yin and yang, are Christina's inspiration, her master teachers and her healers. To her, life is not just about simply existing, but about living to the fullest, welcoming all of it—“mud and lotus”—and to experience moments of eternity every now and then.
Chris loves to climb or free-ride mountains, to dive deep into the ocean, to get lost in a misty forest, to sit by the fire with like-minded people, listening to the crackling sounds of the wood and telling each other stories that touch us and make us feel more alive.
Her instinctive connection to the nomadic lifestyle comes from spending most of her childhood and young adult life abroad (USA, Hong Kong, Caribbean), where she traveled with her parents and three siblings through many countries and experienced various major cities as well as remote islands and the wilderness.
At a young age she learned a lot about the wonders of the world and the transience of things, having said many good-byes to beloved places and companions. She knows what it means to adapt, be resilient and to see change as the one honest constant in life.
A common thread running through Chris's life is her love of movement and everything that brings our body, mind and soul to life. In the following listing shows some of the trainings that most significantly shaped her as a movement professional and therapist:

In 2017-2018 Chris completed an Outdoor Guide training with Plano Alto 1which brought her closer back to nature and challenged her leadership skills. In 2019 she became part of the Association of Friends of Saanenwald 1, where she since then has been fortunate enough to contribute several of her skills.
Starting in 2018 she's in ongoing training for a Certificate in Advanced Studies (CAS) in Movement and Sports Therapy with modules in oncology, heart disease, mental illness and more.
She is convinced that consistent movement practices, preferably in nature, combined with breathing and meditative elements, as well as good hydration, plant-based eating, healthy sleeping habits and cold water exposure have holistic healing effects for our well-being. And that that in the process of these practices, the sensitive yet strong and humorous characteristics of a person unfold.
