You can hold space for everyone. You just can’t reach the thing underneath your own patterns.
You’ve read the books. You’ve done the modalities. You can name your attachment style, your nervous-system states, the year it all began.
From the outside, you look like someone who has already healed and figured everything out.
And still, the patterns hold you hostage.
The freeze in the moment that asks something of you. The over-functioning that everyone mistakes for strength. The throat that closes around the thing you were never allowed to say.
You manage all of it beautifully. You’ve simply never reached the place it was written.
That place is not a thinking problem, which is why insight has taken you only this far. It lives lower than thought — in the body, in the protection your system built a long time ago and has never yet felt safe enough to set down.
With her beautiful authentic soul, Christina has gently yet firmly, guided me on an amazing journey of self-discovery. And along the way, I am finding the missing pieces of my soul and they are perfect! I am perfect! Christina, I will forever be grateful for you and all that you have given me.
A clinician who crossed into different territory.
I spent a decade inside the nervous system. A Doctor of Physical Therapy from NYU, a Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins, and more than 16,000 hours with patients’ bodies. I understood trauma as physiology before I ever understood it as anything else.
Then my own life broke open when I had a profound spiritual awakening and I woke up to the spiritual gifts I inherited from my maternal grandmother. I spent the following 6 years in this initiation.
After leaving my clinical career behind, I spent the next decade inside the soul. But I don’t ask you to choose between those two worlds, because I no longer can. My work sits exactly where they meet — the body that holds the wound, and the soul that remembers who you were before it was written.
“I will not push past your defenses. I will not override your protection. Your system built it for a reason, and it lowers when it’s ready — not when it’s forced. My only work is to create the safety your system needs.”
The Distinction
For six days you work with me directly — not from a stage, not for a single hour, as other facilitators usually do. This is the opposite of the large-room, high-intensity event, and that is deliberate. The intimacy is the reason the depth is possible, and the reason it stays safe.
All day, every day was a highlight. But one of the biggest highlights was the comradery with the people. It was nice to be with your tribe finally and to be with like-minded souls. It’s nice to talk about things with people who actually understood what you were going through or who were at least willing to hold space for what you had to say. It was the most beautiful experience of my life.
Most healing treats the pattern. I find where it was written.
The reason you can see the pattern and still not move it is not a failure of will. It is neurological. It is somatic.
The pattern is intelligent — it is protection your body wrote when protection was the most loving thing available to it.
And it rarely stands alone. It sits inside a stack:
- What your family taught the body about safety
- What being a woman taught it about power
- What was carried down to you before you were old enough to consent to carrying it
- What happened in your own life
Different sources, the same instruction underneath: stay small, stay managed, your fullness is not safe here.
Years of talking can change the story you tell about that instruction. It does not, on its own, change how the body still holds it.
The work here goes to the layer where it was first written — not to remove the protection, but to reach what it was protecting, so your system no longer needs to keep it in place.
What’s included
Spirit Meets Science
The Heart Accelerator is not a luxury retreat with healing attached, and it is not an intensity machine. It is a clinical-and-sacred container, built small, for one purpose: to reach the layer underneath the one you have already worked. The two are not in tension. The body work is what makes the deeper work survivable.
Individualized Attention
We work tirelessly so you never feel lost in the crowd. Christina works very closely with each participant, ensuring that the healing and transformation work is well integrated. She also has a team of trusted coaches and healers that work daily with the group, providing an immersive and supportive energy container during the retreat.
Immersion In What Matters
At the Heart Accelerator, you get to the core of what needs healing and transformation, without any distractions. We remove all the superficialities of typical retreats and get you back to what really matters: a close connection with Christina and her team and the healing power of nature.
Daily Live Group Coaching
Our live coaching sessions include “hot seats”- where you can join Christina on stage to discuss your most pressing issues and receive on-the-spot healing. Our hotseat sessions also include live questions from the audience which makes the experience very immersive and transformational.
Daily Body Movement
By day, the work is precise and physiological — nervous-system regulation and somatic work that builds the actual, physical safety any real release requires. Our morning sessions include powerful movement techniques to help unlock and process any energy that may be stuck in your body and facilitate shifts and healing. Dance, breathwork, yoga, bioenergetics, and active meditation are only some of the techniques we use during our retreats.
Powerful Night Ceremonies
By night, the work is held and ceremonial — energetic clearing inside a container made meticulously safe. With a group of talented musicians and sound healers, expect outstanding sound healing sessions, shamanic ceremonies, dance rituals, and guided regressions. Most retreats end in the afternoon, but we keep going well into the night!
Connect To Your Soul Tribe
You’ll get to connect to so many people from your soul family. You’ll also meet many others experiencing a spiritual awakening and who’ll understand exactly what you’re going through. Our community is priceless on this journey of life!
Retreat Prep & Follow-up
Most retreats end when you check out of the hotel and head home. But not the Heart Accelerator. With us, you’ll continue to be guided and assisted for weeks before and after the retreat ends. Before the retreat, you’ll have access to a live coaching call with Christina, where she preps you for your experience. Then after the retreat, you’ll receive a post-retreat live coaching call with Christina to help you integrate back into the real world.
Retreat Community
Once you purchase the retreat, you’ll have access to a private group that will help you prepare for the retreat in the best way and support you in integrating after you return home.
A typical day on retreat
The body first
We begin in the body, every day, before anything deeper is asked of it. Regulation comes first. You cannot reach a wound from a nervous system that does not yet feel safe, and we do not pretend otherwise.
The deep work
This is the heart of the day. Christina does live coaching sessions with the group, including hotseat questions chosen every day. The depth is calibrated to your system, not to the room.
Rest or Activity
Afternoons are meant for integration. On some days, the afternoons are for rest at the hotel. On others, we leave the hotel to explore the healing medicine of nature. Expect walks in the forest or immersion in volcanic hot springs.
Held ceremony
The evenings hold the energetic and ceremonial work, inside a container designed to never ask the system to metabolize more than it can. Held, paced, and witnessed — never forced. Expect sound healing, shamanic work, guided meditations, and healing circles.

Your Questions Answered
Is there a cancellation policy?
Note that there is no cooling-off period after placing an order. If, at any time or for whatever reason, you decide you do not wish to attend the retreat, you will not be eligible for a refund.
Special Note: We may honor extreme cases that need to cancel such as illness or death in the family. In these cases we may issue a refund but that is left at our sole discretion.
Can I book this retreat with family or friends?
Yes, you can! If you want to room with someone, the room price is adjusted according to the number of people sharing.
What is not included in this retreat?
Here’s a list of what is NOT included in this retreat:
- Flights.
- Hotels and meals outside the retreat dates.
- On-the-ground transportation needs outside the retreat dates.
- Any extracurricular or tourist activities.
What types of meals are offered on this retreat?
You’ll be eating mostly a pesco-vegetarian (occasional fresh fish) and our meals include lots of vegetarian proteins (lentils, beans, chickpeas, etc), and loads of veggies and fruit, occasional fresh fish/seafood, and pastured eggs.
The retreat diet also accommodates gluten-free and dairy-free choices but you can have local milk products if you so desire. Our reasoning behind the retreat diet is to keep it very “light” from an energy level so that your body doesn’t feel overloaded with digestion. This frees up energy to do the healing work and also to achieve higher states of consciousness while meditating.
Will this retreat accommodate my dietary needs?
Does this retreat accommodate for injuries?
Yes. If for any reason, you cannot accompany the group in our outdoor activities, you can always stay at the hotel until we return and enjoy the many amenities the hotel has to offer.
