The Heart Behind Sacred Healing
About Christina Upham
Christina Upham
I am an intuitive healer and former Registered Nurse devoted to root-level healing and embodied transformation. My work blends nervous system regulation, subconscious belief change, and intuitive guidance to support deep, lasting shifts.
Before stepping fully into this work, I spent ten years in the public healthcare system, caring deeply for my patients and committing myself fully to the role. Over time, my nervous system broke down. Physical and psychological symptoms began surfacing, and I found myself disconnecting from myself just to keep functioning in a life that no longer felt aligned.
The signs had been building for a long time. Eventually, it became impossible to ignore that the life I was living was no longer sustainable, and something needed to change.
Leaving nursing came from listening - deeply and honestly - to what my body and life were asking of me. What followed were many devoted years of study, healing, and transformation that reshaped the direction of my life.
I first completed my yoga teacher training in Canada, a foundation that later deepened through immersive study in India, where I studied yogic philosophy, Reiki, and sound healing. I went on to complete advanced certifications in ThetaHealing and integrate Akashic Records work for soul-level healing and energetic cord release. I continue to deepen my study and embodied practice within the Pachakuti Mesa shamanic lineage - an ongoing apprenticeship of devotion and study.
Gradually, my nervous system began to regulate. Physical and psychological imbalances softened. Illness resolved. Long-held patterns loosened their grip, and my life began to reorganize in ways I could not have imagined. I moved to the mountains, where much of my deeper healing unfolded. It was here that clarity strengthened, intuition deepened, and my life began to feel rooted and aligned from within.
The work I offer is shaped by extensive and devoted training, as well as genuine lived experience. It is grounded, intuitive, and integrative. And I know firsthand AND through years of supporting others that profound transformation is possible.
How I Work
My work does not approach you as being broken! Instead of asking what needs to be fixed, we explore what is ready to be loved up - what is asking for more harmony, and what is ready to be returned to wholeness.
I draw from Theta Healing practices for subconscious belief transformation, cross-cultural shamanic and earth-honouring practices, soul-level work within the Akashic Records to release unhealthy energetic cords, and nervous system regulation. My background in Western medicine allows me to understand physical and psychological layers clearly, while years of devotion to Yoga and holistic wellbeing ground the work in deep embodiment.
Beyond modalities, this work is relational. We restore connection with your body, your intuition, and Source, strengthening trust in yourself and in the greater intelligence guiding your path.
This is not about forcing change. It is about listening more deeply and with more love, to gently clear the patterns and beliefs that have been blocking you from hearing and trusting your inner guidance.
As the parts of you that have felt disconnected begin to return to harmony, clarity strengthens. Transformation is no longer something you strive for, but something you naturally embody - steady, rooted, and true to who you are.
I empower people to strengthen trust in themselves, in life, and in Source, so they can move from their inner guidance and not from fear or old conditioning. From that foundation, true health and clarity become a natural result.
