I believe our bodies need to be the base camp for the adventures of our lives. If not, we find ourselves lost in the wilderness of our own inner mental landscape, caught in the snares of analysis paralysis, harsh self-criticism, pushing too hard, collapsing too long, injured, dehydrated, constipated, sad and self- neglect-full. We miss beautiful opportunities for pleasure, spontaneity and connection, because we are disconnected and lost in our heads.
Life can feel like a living hell when we’re caught in the mental trappings of trying to figure everything out with our traumatized brains, having never been taught to trust our own internal GPS. When we learn to honor the beauty of bodymind based living and live from the understanding of, “I feel, therefore I thrive,” the whole world opens, we learn to perceive the language of our bodies, and we find we have always possessed the answers that we have so long sought after. We learn that the body is a safe place to be and that there is much to experience. We feel an interconnectivity that nourishes us as we nourish in return.
Slowly, slowly as we learn to open our beautiful, sensitive and precious bodies (like Dorothy return home) and restore the rhythm to our days and the seasons of our lives, we are able to experience the flow of creativity in and around us and commune with nature to create beauty in the world. We are able to contribute to the healing of our living Mother Earth by loving ourselves, using our unique voices, telling our healing stories, raising awake families and building robust businesses.
My approach to well-being is based on the understanding that true health and happiness starts when we accept that the body is an energetic and spiritual as well as physical and emotional organism. It is my intention to help support women to awaken to the untapped potentiality (creativity, energy, flow, joy, emotional expression, freedom, spontaneity…) of their bodies and embrace themselves as resilient, tenacious and sensitive creatures using bodywork, coaching and love.

Christina Cunningham BA LMBT AADP
I am a trauma-sensitive Bodyworker and BodyMind coach and I teach/support humans who are deeply burned-out to break the vicious cycle of stress and overwhelm. I assist in the embodiment of habits of sustainable energy, mental clarity and gut instincts. I help folks feel at home in their own bodies, embrace their more subtler selves and intimately know and cherish their lives so that they generate beauty, fulfillment and ease for themselves and their extended families.
