Empowering “Dr. Mom” is dedicated to empowering moms to take better care of their families by educating them on a natural, holistic approach to wellness. We specifically focus on nutrition, digestion, reducing toxic stress on the body, essential oils, exercise, and chiropractic.
Christine is the founder of Empowering Dr. Mom and is a blessed wife and mom to 4 amazing children (2 biological and 2 from the amazing country of Ethiopia). Christine received her bachelor’s degree from Texas A & M University in 1998 and began pursuing knowledge in integrative and holistic medicine after the dramatic recovery of her son from autism. She went to nursing school in 2013 so that she could work with her mentor, Randy Naidoo MD. Christine has experienced health and behavior challenges in her children and desires to empower parents with tools for hope and healing. Christine now works part-time at Shine Pediatrics helping parents understand lab results and implement workable plans for recovery. She also provides holistic health and wellness consulting from her home in Carrollton, TX where she offers neurofeedback, BEMER vascular therapy, nutritional counseling, and essential oil education.
During Christine’s Brain on Fire presentation, you will understand why kids from hard places have brains that have developed differently. In fact, the stress they have endured has changed their cellular structure. Learn why your child needs special care, and how you can best support their chances for a normal healthy life. Dysregulated behavior, anxiety, anger, and even depression are often signs and symptoms of neuroinflammation. You will gain insight into what could have triggered your child’s brain to become inflamed, and how the brain needs to be supported through areas such as nutrition and proper neurochemistry.
