In 2018, Christina joined Shannon at Microcell Sciences to focus more on the microbiology of disease and how it circulates through every part of our body via the blood, starting her on a fascinating journey.
Through Christina’s work, she has developed an intimate knowledge and understanding of the body and more specifically the blood, continuing to learn as science provides more and more pieces of the puzzle. Through the complex and often very ill individuals she meets, Christina is constantly reminded of how intelligent the body is and the importance of ‘Preventative Medicine’.
Christina feels blessed to have become part of an amazing group of practitioners, who have allowed her to optimize her own health and continually provide an opportunity to expand knowledge of health as a functional and dynamic entity.
