Founder & Co-Owner, Olive Retreat.

Cristina’s Economic and Statistics degree came handy when at a crucial moment in life, she had to scrutinise the data from the medical sciences, and question mainstream medical treatments already in 1995. If studies showed that Placebo was better than the medication, why take the risks of such terrible side effects the pharmaceutical interventions presented? (USA no. 1 cause of death from 2020).
That her questions were not welcomed was a sign she had to learn more, and she did. Her research enabled her to see the human body in its holistic manifestation (very different from her Western society) which offered no other choice than to seek her own solutions. She found more relevant and practical use in ancient traditions, starting with Ayurveda and Orthomolecular biochemistry. At first she developed the Body Cleanse, the Mind Regeneration, and ultimately the Energy Regeneration, with Ray.
