ABOUT ME


 
Why I do this work
For years, I watched people push through exhaustion, overwhelm, and emotional strain because they felt they had no other choice. I’ve lived through seasons like that myself — times when life demanded more than my body or mind could comfortably give. Those experiences shaped the way I practice today.
I know what it’s like to feel responsible for everything and everyone. I know what it’s like to keep going long after your system is asking for rest. And I know how powerful it is when someone finally says, “You don’t have to do this alone.”
My work is rooted in that understanding.
How I work
My style is calm, steady, and collaborative. I’m not here to judge or diagnose you — I’m here to help you understand what’s happening in your nervous system and give you tools that actually make a difference.
Clients often tell me they feel:
  • Seen without being analyzed
  • Supported without being pushed
  • Guided without feeling pressured
Whether we’re using neurofeedback, coaching, or a combination of both, the goal is the same: to help your system settle, strengthen, and move toward the life you want to live.
What I believe
  • Healing happens when the nervous system feels safe and is stable.
  • You don’t have to “power through” everything.
  • Change is possible at any age and any stage.
  • Your story matters — and it deserves space.
  • Small, consistent shifts create the biggest transformations.
My background
  • Certified neurofeedback practitioner
  • Master of Education in Counseling
  • Years of experience supporting adults, teens, and children
  • Specialized training in nervous‑system regulation and stress recovery
  • Coaching approach informed by neuroscience, somatic awareness, and practical life skills
I bring both professional training and lived experience to this work. Clients often tell me that combination is what makes our sessions feel different — grounded, real, and genuinely supportive.
If you’re ready for things to feel lighter
You don’t have to keep carrying everything alone. If you’re looking for a calmer mind, steadier emotions, or a clearer path forward, I’d be honored to support you.

Owner at A Mind of Your Own
A grounded, compassionate approach to healing and change

People usually find their way to me when they’re carrying more than they can comfortably hold — stress that won’t let up, a nervous system stuck in overdrive, patterns they’ve tried to change but can’t seem to shift, or a sense that life has become harder than it needs to be. My work is to help you find steadiness again, inside yourself and in your daily life. I’m Cristina, a neurofeedback practitioner and coach based in Rhode Island. My approach blends nervous‑system regulation, practical support, and a deeply human understanding of how stress, trauma, and life transitions shape us. I don’t believe in quick fixes or one‑size‑fits‑all solutions. I believe in real change — the kind that lasts because it’s built from the inside out.
