Jina is honored to be a CI practitioner where she can work with her clients to deal with the trauma they face in their daily lives due to past wounds. Jina remembers standing in the class in high school teaching computer science to the children and realizing that first and foremost these children need love and affection in order for them to cope and to be seen and heard. That moment changed Jina’s direction and has led her to working with children, couples and families using all the techniques she has acquired in the last couple of years. 

Jina enjoys the little things in life such as a swim at the beach, cooking, singing, dancing and playing board games. Jina believes that spending time with self, family and friends are the best things in life. Jina’s compassionate nature brings smiles and laughter to clients she works with as that is her passion.
