Welcome— I’m Christina Wakefield, Board-Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach, sound facilitator, and founder of Treetops Retreat in Topanga Canyon.

I am devoted to supporting high-achievers resolve chronic symptoms, break cycles of burnout, and reconnect with what truly makes them feel alive. My approach integrates evidence-based root-cause medicine with holistic healing practices that integrate your whole being beyond just the physical.

After a decade in the corporate tech world, I hit a breaking point—burnout, chronic dis-ease, and a deep sense of misalignment. When conventional medicine offered few answers, I turned inward and toward nature. Immersing myself in functional medicine and ancient healing modalities, I rebuilt my life from the inside out and found my aligned path in guiding others to do the same.

With over seven years of experience at the nation's leading functional medicine clinic Parsley Health—and now in my private practice—I’ve supported thousands of clients in creating lasting transformation. From digestive and hormonal imbalances to anxiety, fatigue, autoimmunity, and burnout, I work at the root to help you feel deeply well and fully alive.

Drawing upon my many years working in the fast-paced tech start-up world, I have a deep understanding of the stress and pressure that can take its toll, fueling my desire to support those in search of more ease and balance in their lives. With my background overseeing complex productions and cross-functional teams, I honed my ability to see the big picture and how to connect seemingly disparate parts into a clear, cohesive whole. Today, I bring that same systems-level thinking to my work with clients, integrating the many facets of their care into a unified, holistic approach.

Inspired by the healing power of nature, I was eventually led to the hills of Topanga, where I turned my home into a space for intentional gatherings, private retreats, and deep restoration. Music has always been medicine for me, so it was only natural that I would find myself incorporating sound into my offerings. The healing and connection I’ve witnessed through gatherings in my home is a powerful testament to the importance of community, where wisdom is shared, belonging is felt, and vulnerability is welcomed with open arms. It’s shown me that the most profound healing often doesn’t happen alone, but in the presence of others who can witness you, hold you, and remind you that you’re not alone on the journey.

If you're seeking to feel truly aligned in your body, clear in your purpose, and empowered in your next chapter—I'm here to support your expansion.
