Christian Momma| Loving Wife | Licensed Independent Social Worker
Christina is a Christian, wife, and mother of two small children. Her unwavering faith, professional expertise, and personal experiences with neurodivergence resonates in all of her creations. She hopes to illuminate neurodivergence, support children's mental health, and serve God with the gifts He has given her.
As a shy, neurodivergent child, Christina found solace in her own world, where imagination was her refuge and creativity, her closest companion. Whether it was nature, music, or stories spun from her emotions, she had an innate ability to channel her deep feelings into something beautiful. As an adult, she grew in her faith and realized her ability is more than a safe place. It's God-given gift meant to be shared with the world.
From Imaginative Child to Empowered Woman
Christina’s self-study and personal experiences with neurodivergence inspired her to create The Little Mind Retreat Series, an initiative close to her heart. This series is more than a book series. It’s a heartfelt mission to support neurodivergent children and families struggling with overwhelming emotions. Through stories that highlight endearing characters, Christina weaves in her faith, offering guidance and support to those who need it most. Her hope is that these narratives serve as a beacon of light for families navigating intense emotions and feelings.
