MEET CHRISTINA

Throughout most of my life, I was a people pleaser. I never stood up for myself and was desperate to be included. I had always been the black sheep, the weird kid, the lone wolf. It wasn’t until experiencing 6 years of infertility before finally being blessed with my first, Johnny, that things began to change. I went from being a lone wolf to a savagely protective Mother of 3 little monsters who I adore with all of my heart. Motherhood, and all of the HELL it, and the Hair Industry, put me through is what truly transformed me into the fierce Woman and teacher that I am today.

HAIR

I originally became a hairstylist to spite my parents. I had been doing what everyone expected me to do my whole life. I finally had had enough. I dropped out of college and left a Bachelor's Degree in English Lit, to pursue a career that “was a waste of my potential”. Funny enough, I EXCELLED and built a multiple 6 figure career that landed me on the biggest stages worldwide and the cover of multiple magazines.

THIS IS MY STORY

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE

2011-2017

Infertility

For 6 years I tried and continued to fail at having kids. This was a very painful period of my life. After having a “hysterical pregnancy” (look it up) I finally gave up on the idea of being a Mom and threw myself into my Hair career. I decided that Hair would be my baby. I got noticed immediately by several big brands and was invited to be a member of several artistic teams and was even offered several ambassadorships.

2017

There is Magic in Scotland

To celebrate this huge uptick, I took a trip to London, Scotland, and Ireland. I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan and I had to see it all! I got insanely sick when I first arrived. It was like I had the flu without the flu. I was having withdrawal symptoms from American Food. After 3 weeks of eating whatever I wanted (ie. chocolates, breads, and food food food!) I came home and had LOST over 20lbs! I had gained a lot of weight 2 years into doing hair and continued to struggle for the next 12 years! No matter what I did, I couldn't keep it off. The BIGGEST SURPRISE of all was when I got pregnant, THE NIGHT I got home from Scotland! This was when my intuition sparked. After 6 years of infertility and severe anxiety… I leave the country for 3 weeks and come back fertile and relaxed?? 

2016-2018

The Love of My Life

During my pregnancy I built and opened Intrepid Studio Salon: a 4000 sq foot, 18 chair, 32 staffed salon. It was pretty badass. I opened the doors 3 months before all of my dreams came true. I had finally had my miracle, the thing I wanted more than anything else. John. He was PERFECT! He started walking by 10 months and was saying over 30 works by 15 months. He never got sick, never fussed, was always happy, and I was the luckiest Mom on the planet! I had been blessed for my patience and pain with the perfect child… then one day, he changed.

2020

AND THEN CAME

I don’t think you really need a full recap of the start of 2020. It was hot crap mixed with garbage for us all. It was also the single greatest pivoting year of my life. My intuition flared again to close my salon. One week later, lockdown happened! I then listened again and became a Doula and started an apprenticeship in Midwifery. I had this pull towards holistic health and I couldn’t explain where this craving was coming from. This is where I first started to learn about the body, the foods that do and don’t support it, the necessity of the Divine Feminine, and how NO ONE seemed to have this knowledge anymore.

At the end of 2020 people were raiding stories, Antifa was setting fires, and people had gone bat shit crazy. I came across a video of a farmer crying because someone had just set his house on fire. He wasn’t crying over his lost belongings but over the fact that his wife was due to have a baby in 2 weeks and he had no home for them to go home too. I shared his story and it went viral.

2018-2020

The Gateway to Hell

Literally overnight John stopped talking and became nonverbal for 2 years. He went deaf, regressed in all of his motor functions, had a complete personality shift, and became EXTREMELY violent. For 2 years I couldn’t understand why this had happened and what I did to deserve it. Everyone told me to accept that Johnny was severely Autistic.. But I knew in my gut it wasn’t Autism… it was something else. My intuition never stopped telling me to keep looking… even if I had to do it 100% alone. Afterall… I was used to feeling alone. It was the worst 2 years of my life.

END OF 2020

I GOT “CANCELED”

The next day some random girl, who I still don’t know to this day, screenshot my story, changed the words on it, and posted it, saying that I was blaming the California wildfires on BLM. It went viral. I lost a 6 figure career and all of my contracts over a rumor and a lie. After all, as I was told by the CEO of one of these companies, “the truth doesn’t matter, perception does.”

3 days later, Johnny was kicked out of the Special Needs preschool he was attending because they “just weren’t equipped to deal with a child this difficult.” It was then that a woman brought to my attention that Johnny may have been Vaccine injured. I went down the rabbit hole and came to the undeniable conclusion that he had, indeed, been injured… and it was my fault.

2020-PRESENT

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

I went… insane. I concluded that the only thing I could do to help Johnny was to try to heal him with food. I didn’t know how to cook and I knew NOTHING about health or nutrition, but if I could make his life even 1% better I would do anything! I met a woman at my local Farmer’s Market who became my first teacher and guide into the holistic world. Within 2 weeks of working with her, Johnny started to speak again! The day I woke up with him patting me on the arm and calling me “Mama” after 2 years of zero words, I was forever changed! I immediately rallied and said 

“F*** Hair! I will heal my son and then myself and then the world!”

… and I meant every word!

I am currently building a new career that is actually changing lives and I’ll never look back! I look forward to the day when I’ll be able to clean up the health of the hair industry. It took me a long time to forgive the hair industry and now I feel nothing but compassion for it. They’re being poisoned and don’t even know it. I will be the catalyst for that change.
