Christina Gamez
Healing Touch Certified Practitioner (HTCP), Reiki Practitioner, MSN, RN-BC, EBPC
Christina has been a registered nurse since 2003 and has always had a deep passion for caring for others. Through her experiences in various hospital settings and her research in evidence-based practice (EBP), she has discovered that the most effective way to care for someone is through a holistic approach—compassionately addressing the whole person (mind, body, heart, and soul) rather than focusing solely on symptoms or diagnoses.
In 2011, Christina’s 5 ½ month old son passed away from a significant congenital heart abnormality. She spent many years trying to find a solution for the physical pain she was experiencing that manifested as a result of the emotional pain she was not acknowledging. Western Medicine was not working for her the way that she needed it to, and it wasn't until she started integrating alternative and integrative therapies into her life that Christina found true healing. This exploration of various modalities of healing led her to Healing Touch. She is now a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner and Level 2 Usui Reiki practitioner.
Christina is an avid yoga practitioner and finds joy in outdoor activities, connecting with nature, and spending quality time with family and friends—all while balancing the demands of daily life. Christina has an incredibly grounded and compassionate presence. Her gentle and kind demeanor creates an immediate sense of calm and well-being for all her clients.
Christina offers heart-centered tools and experiences including Healing Touch, Reiki, guided breathing and meditation, and often uses essential oils to enhance each experience. She also teaches classes on stress reduction and mindfulness techniques, and organizes holistic retreats in collaboration with other wellness experts.

“I have followed Kirsten's journey, from the beginning, to becoming the Reiki Master that she is now. Being a nurse in these trying times, when I am stressed beyond belief, Kirsten has the ability....with a single session...to relax me so deeply that I usually fall asleep in the middle of it! Her energy and skill is AMAZING!! She has greatly decreased my chronic back pain. Kirsten has such a gift, and coupled with an even warmer personality...a Reiki session with her is truly a positive experience!”
