BIO
Since the age of 16, Christina knew she wanted to build a career that centered on helping people.  Initially narrowing down her choice population to athletes, she pursued her bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training because she wanted to help the injured athletes get back to what they do best.  As her educational path took her many places, she discovered other passions along the way.  Since the beginning of her career, over 10 years ago, she has continued her education in group fitness, personal training, Pilates, massage therapy, and of course, speed, strength and conditioning for the athlete of any age.  Formerly of Lightning Fast Training Systems, having worked under her mentor, Duane Carlisle (now the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the San Francisco 49ers), Christina has had the opportunity to work with many professional athletes, from the Philadelphia Charge Womens’ Professional Soccer team, to NFL athletes.  Currently serving as the Director of Strength and Conditioning for the prestigious Lawrenceville School, just outside of Princeton, NJ, she continues to keep on the cutting edge of sports performance, fitness, nutrition, wellness, and recovery.  Recently participating in her second sprint triathlon, Christina has found a new intriguing sport to call her hobby!

PHILOSOPHY
Christina believes in a 360-degree approach to training.  Although there are many dimensions to fitness and performance training, each training session is an individual attempt to become better in some way and each dimension of the athlete is just as important as the next.  One cannot make efficient and effective strides without the training, conditioning, recovery, nutrition, and mental focus all being in balance.  It’s all about the 360-approach to optimal performance, physical results, and improved self confidence and well-being!
