​

Understanding the impact of trauma on her own life and others has been a daily pursuit for Christina for 15 years and is what has given life to Butterfly Way. She is well informed in trauma relating to sexual and religious abuse, attachment science, dissociation (PTSD => CPTSD), and trained in suicide intervention through ASIST.

​

She has longed to create a place where people who have experienced trauma can go, to rest and spend time in nature, with support nearby if needed. Through her own experiences, education, training, love of art. and the outdoors, it all comes together under the umbrella she calls Butterfly Way. She has been leading this New Venture with her husband Mike, and two daughters, Jillian and Evelyn, in partnership with The Central Canadian District of The Alliance Canada.
