Born and raised in the Ecuadorian capital, Quito, Cristina's memories are always related to the scents of her homeland. A professional Aromatherapist since 1994, Cristina received her Complementary Health Education Diploma in Aromatherapy in 1997 from the Kevala Center in the U.K., and advanced her studies in 1998 when she took the International Training Program in Essential Oils at Purdue University in Indiana.
Cristina has more than 14 years of experience formulating aromatherapy products for the spa, fitness and hospitality industry and speaking with North and South American audiences on television and radio as well as in seminars and workshops.
After trying for 4 years to get pregnant, she discovered the therapeutic powers of essential oils that help to balance your hormonal system, detox your body and provide a general sense of well being for your mind, your body and your heart. The result was that after a month of applying a blend of essential oils she got pregnant and during my pregnancy, the birth of her son and his 13 years she has only used essential oils. The result is a healthy child who has never needed antibiotics because he has never had any major infection. This experience has been shared with many audiences on TV and radio as well as in seminars and workshops in North and South America.
Currently, she formulated Aromandina, her own line of highly therapeutic, sustainable aromatherapy products. Aromandina is a well-developed line of essential oil products that includes Seven Solution Sets. Within these Solution Sets are products which carry essential oil blends that are formulated specifically, scientifically and through years of hands-on experience to assist with the needs and challenges that are affecting our daily lives.
