Christina Deleon, Founder & Owner
Christina uses her expertise in nutrition, pregnancy, and fitness to help women achieve their health goals and improve their overall wellbeing. She was inspired to become a health advocate at an early age while caring for the children her parents fostered. It was the spark that led to her dedication to women’s health. Christina is a certified nutritionist, lactation consultant, birth doula, and postpartum doula with a combined 12 years of experience. When she isn’t coaching or leading a workshop you can find her engaged in her church fellowship, enjoying the outdoors, making homemade non-toxic products or cooking another batch of her famous sofrito.
