Hey there, I’m Christina
(holistic social worker/counsellor, griever, energy healing practitioner)
​
Hey there,
I'm Christina, holistic social worker, Emotional Freedom Technique and Matrix Reimprinting practitioner, Reiki Master-Teacher and all-round grief explorer here to help you navigate life's toughest challenges, including cancer with more ease.
​
If you’ve found your way here, chances are your heart is carrying a weight that words alone struggle to hold. Maybe you’re navigating the uncharted waters of grief after losing someone dear to you. Maybe cancer has shaken your world, leaving you raw, searching for answers and longing for something to help make sense of it all.
I want you to know this—grief is not something to be "fixed" or "moved on" from. It is an experience and initiation into a new way of being. And while it may feel unbearable at times, you do not have to walk that path alone.
​
As you might have already guessed, I’m not your traditional therapist. Yes, I have a Master’s in Social Work with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through cancer, grief, and life’s hardest moments—but my work goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I weave together powerful energy-based practices like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Matrix Reimprinting, and Reiki to help you move through grief in a way that feels gentler, compassionate, and deeply transformative. My hope is that you discover that you can move through grief with more ease, calm and confidence.
​
​Why? Because I’ve Been Where You Are.
Grief is woven into the fabric of life, everyone's life, including mine.
At just 8 years old, my superhero in life, my Aunt Jenny died from her lifelong experience of muscular dystrophy. Though paralyzed from the neck down, Jenny radiated joy, courage and strength. She taught me, even in her absence, that the body may fade, but love, presence, and energy are eternal.
​
And then there was my Yiayia Julia - who I considered to be the all time greek warrier and nurturer. Yiayia was a woman who emboddied resilience, unrelenting service to others and an unshakable love of life. Her smile was angelic and she had this natural ability to create magic out of the simplest life experiences like swimming at the beach. Moments I will never forget. She died just before my daughter was born, a moment that taught me how deeply grief with love can coexist. I was honoured to channel Reiki energy in support of her transition in her final hours, witnessing firsthand how love transcends even the threshold of death.
​
But it wasn’t always like this.
​
For years, my grief was a quiet storm inside me—unspoken, lingering, shaping my beliefs about me and world around me, shaping my fears and my ability to fully live. I held back my emotions, dodged anything that might "set me off," only to have grief ambush me when I least expected it. Until I discovered another way.
​
Through meditation, energy healing practices like Reiki, tapping, and deep inner work, I came to understand that grief is not just sorrow—it is love, pain, and everything in between seeking expression. I learned that while loss is inevitable, suffering does not have to be. Healing isn’t about forgetting or "getting over it" or "moving on"—it’s about integrating your loss into the fabric of your being in ways that allow you to live fully, to love deeply, and to honour those who came before you and the experiences that have allowed you to grow into you.
Aunty Jenny & me
Yiayia Julia
Looking back, it's clear to me now how deeply my aunt and grandmother shaped my path as a holistic social worker. When I reflect on my time with my aunt Jenny and Yiayia, I am now filled with the warmest sense of gratitude and love. But that most definitely was NOT always the case! Losing my aunt as a child left shockwaves that rippled through my teenage years and well into early adulthood without me even realizing it.
​​
Some may call this delayed grief, prolonged grief or whatever grief-like caterogy helps people make sense of grief experiences. I prefer to think of it as grief's ever-shifting currents. The tides of how we process loss ebbs and flows as we grow and evolves over time. For me, making any kind of sense of that monumental childhood loss was soul crushing, confusing and disorienting. And it took years for me to recognize that the pain of that loss had coloured my beliefs about myself, relationships and the world around me.
​
You see, it's so common for unprocessed traumas and losses to shape our present-day experiences in unexpected ways and unconscious ways. You might be grappling with a current-day loss, yet the lingering energy from past pains and events invisibly trails you at every turn.
​
How I Can Help You
If you’re feeling lost, if the pain of your loss still feels insurmountable or overwhelming I want to gently remind you: there is another way forward.
​
My approach is holistic. I blend science, evidence based practices like mindfulness, neuroscience, somatic practices and a touch of the 'woo woo' (if that's your thing of course) to bring harmony between the body and mind, guiding you through grief and change in a way that feels empowering, not overwhelming.
Through tailored sessions, we work together to:
- Calm the intense emotions, the pain and anything that is keeping you stuck.
- Release emotional blockages that keep you stuck in pain and suffering.
- Use EFT tapping & Matrix Reimprinting to heal past wounds to reshape limiting subconscious beliefs into resourceful beliefs that will help you to feel more freedom and connection to self.
- Discover energy healing practices like Reiki and breathwork to bring peace and ease to your nervous system
- Explore ways that you can honour your needs, your energy and your loved ones in a way that brings connection, gratitude and freedom.
- Create a new relationship with grief - one that allows you to carry love forward, rather than to feel buried by loss.
​
You don’t have to do this alone.
​
Grief is a sacred journey, and within it lies the potential for deep transformation.
If you’re ready to begin this journey, let's work together. Let’s rediscover the light within you, one step at a time.
With love, healing and light, ​
​
Christina
