New to Grounding Journey? I'm Cris, a student of the world, finding my path and helping others along the way. I've been using Meditation, Yoga, Crystal Healing, Reiki, and aromatherapy to light my way for almost 20 years.
When I'm not cuddled up at home with my dog, a good book, and a glass of wine, I'm often traipsing around foreign lands with Matthew, my husband, and Kevin, our son, exploring and learning from different cultures and beliefs systems.
I recently started a monthly subscription box, My Healthy Life Box as a compliment to my podcast - Grounding Journey, The deeper conversations you've been seeking as a way to connect with other souls on a similar spiritual journey.
Thanks for being a part of my journey. I hope to be a part of yours!
