Christy is a mother, a grandmother, and a retired captain and firefighter who has spent most of her life in service to others. For decades, she ran toward danger when others ran away, answering calls that demanded courage, resilience, and compassion.

After retiring in 2020, Christy felt a different kind of calling—one that didn’t come through sirens, but from somewhere deeper within. That call led her to ayahuasca.

What began as a personal journey soon became a path of service once again. Over the past five years, Christy has worked in various ayahuasca spaces throughout Florida, holding roles as both a medic and a facilitator during ceremony. Drawing from her background in emergency response and her grounded presence, she helps create a safe and supported environment for those navigating profound inner experiences.

In addition to her work in ceremony, Christy is also a hape’ practitioner, continuing her commitment to healing, guidance, and service in a new and deeply spiritual way.
