Christina's passion for astrology, combined with her spiritual beliefs, developed her interest in holistic medicine. A Registered Nurse with many years' experience, she qualified in Indian Ayurveda healing and has, through her own research and practical application, become aware that the average person's well-being can be maintained, indeed improved, by a range of alternative practices. She does not discount Western Medicine but believes that in many instances the answers lie elsewhere and an open mind is crucial to our emotional and physical well-being. Aware that there was nothing available for the average person to acquaint them with these other beliefs, she has written this book designed to explain other health options and idealogies, and provide a detailed description of each. Written in a very easy-to-read style, she has still managed to provide a wealth of knowledge and understanding. So if your well-being is important to you, you will find this book invaluable. Christina practises worldwide and lives in sunny Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. She can be contacted at: christinastrology.com
