My name is Christina, and I have a background in psychology and neuroscience with a deep interest in the mind-body connection, particularly inflammation in depression. Having experienced postnatal and prenatal depression and living with chronic health conditions, I share my journey to help others feel less alone. I am a member of the ASPIRE study advisory board, focusing on the lived experience of depression and inflammation.

Beyond this, I run London Bulls, a children’s basketball academy, teach music, and explore technology to streamline operations. With music qualifications in piano, classical guitar, and composition, I love helping others discover the joy of music. I believe in the power of personal stories to bridge the gap between research and real-life experiences.
