Functional Ayurveda:
where modern science embraces ancient wisdom.
A Note from Our Founder
I went looking for what I'm now offering you. When I couldn't find it, I built it. Clinically and personally, over years of training, practice, and living it myself. What came out the other side is Functional Ayurveda. And it has changed everything for the women I've guided through it ever since.
Functional Ayurveda lives at the intersection of classical Ayurvedic medicine and functional nutrition, two systems that are not in competition with each other, but completely complementary. Ancient wisdom tells us what the body needs. Modern functional science gives us the tools to get there faster. Together, they create something neither system could offer alone.
For the woman who is ready to finally understand what her body has been asking for all along.

The Practice
Truly Well is a private Functional Ayurveda practice. Intimate by design, it is available to a small number of women by referral and by invitation.
This is immersive, personal work. Over the course of several months, we go deep into your constitution, your current imbalance, and the specific physiological and hormonal shifts your body is asking for. The result is not a protocol to follow but a framework to live by.
If this feels like what you've been looking for, please reach out.

“Cristina is amazing at understanding how the little things add up, and how they will add up in a positive way for you and your unique body if done consistently. She's helped me create solid and consistent everyday practices for long-term health, and I am super grateful to her for filling in this piece of the puzzle I have been missing. I needed a little extra accountability and support. After working with Cristina, I feel more grounded and connected to my body, my digestion is better, and I feel more in control of my health under stressful circumstances and beyond.”
