Personal
Christine and her husband Brian, an orthopaedic surgeon at Holy Cross Orthopaedic Institute, have lived in Fort Lauderdale for 25 years. They have two grown children who they treasure deeply, and now dote on their English and French Bulldogs. Christine captained Ragnar 200 mile Relay Race Teams, creates hiking, whitewater rafting and travel adventures for her friends and family and prioritizes staying physically active and fit. As both an instructor and practitioner of self-defense jiu-jitsu, she embraces the discipline, emotional balance and resilience that this art brings to her life. Whether she is working with a client or on the mat, her approach is always the same: calm, focused, and dedicated to finding the best solutions.
