Dr. Christina Christoforou graduated with a four year Honours Bachelor of Science degree in biology from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Her keen interest in the health and well-being of others led her to study Naturopathic Medicine at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, Ontario where she received her degree in Naturopathic Medicine.

Upon graduation, Dr. Christina Christoforou furthered her knowledge in Portland, Oregon, where she trained and worked with established Naturopathic Doctors. She is currently a member of the CAND and OAND and is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in the province of Ontario, and regulated by the College of Naturopathic Doctors in Ontario (CONO). She enjoys educating the public on health and wellness and has done seminars at various health centres such as the Mississauga Health Show, Planet Organic, Goodness Me and Lunch and Learns at various companies.

She currently practices and owns The Holistix Naturopathic Health Clinic in Mississauga, and is committed to providing compassionate and thorough Naturopathic Care. Her practice is a general family practice where she treats all ailments and diseases. Her general focus is on digestive health/food sensitivities, hormonal health, stress/mental health and pediatrics. With over 13+  years experience and as a mother of 4 kids, Dr. Christoforou understands the demands of being a new mom with young kids and balancing work life with family life. With raising four of her own kids she has extended her knowledge of Naturopathic Medicine in pre and post pregnancy and pediatric care. She also understands managing stress and anxiety. 

With her life’s mantra being to think of learning as an endless but fulfilling journey, Shauna has pushed herself to explore many areas in an ever-expanding career.

She began as a Pediatric Emergency Physician at the Hospital for Sick Children and this job continues to be her first love. However, Emergency Medicine by its nature limits opportunities to counsel and provide in-depth support. This led to work in Consulting Pediatrics and Pediatric Obesity Medicine at the Wharton Weight Management Clinics. Both areas have allowed her an opportunity to know her patients personally and become a supportive part of their lives. She considers working in medicine a privilege because the trust and openness in a physician-patient relationship allow her to make a difference in peoples' lives. Her time in Obesity Medicine has taught her so much about the struggles experienced by families and the power of a strong support network.

Finally, she has a passion for education and saw that in this world of technology, her boys needed more support with their communication abilities. As a result, she has created Quills and Quotes, an enriched after-school English program designed to teach children effective writing and confident public speaking skills. She is thrilled that her journey includes being part of myMindBodyBaby as it encompasses her love of support, learning, teaching and growing.

Holly is the founder of Tiny Sleepers Big Dreamers.  She is happily married to her husband of 7 years and together they have two children, aged 4 and 7.  They live just east of Toronto, Canada.

She started in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis in 2007, specifically providing Intensive Behavior Intervention to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder which included, but was not limited to, acquisition based programs and behavioral remediation.

Sleep became her passion over 4 years ago when she found herself hiring five (yes, 5!) sleep consultants to teach her son how to sleep.  She learned that teaching an infant or toddler the skill of sleep is simply behavior modification.

She has worked closely with Dr. James Porter, C. Psych for the past nine years and she continues to be mentored by him to provide her clients with clinically supervised plans and strategies; especially those for strong willed toddlers!

As a graduate student at the University of Toronto specializing in psychotherapy, Jelena focused on developing a solid understanding of various therapies used in counseling settings.

Jelena is passionate about helping individuals work though life’s difficulties with resilience and grace, growing in wisdom and a deeper understanding of themselves. With her deep dedication to client-centered care, ability to empathize, and her unconditional acceptance of others just as they are, Jelena is able to build strong therapeutic relationships and journey with others as they heal, grow and learn.
