MEET CHRISTINA
Hello Wild Hearts! I’m Christina Masino—Founder of Root + Rise Wellness, a spiritual entrepreneur, intuitive guide, and passionate creator of pathways for transformation. I embrace the wisdom of all seasons, from spring’s renewal to winter’s stillness, weaving these natural rhythms into everything I do.
For me, yoga has been far more than a physical practice—movement has been the medicine that has kept me tethered and grounded through life's many trials, or as I like to call them, “opportunities for growth.” Yoga has been a transformative journey of self-realization, purpose, and spiritual connection.
Embracing the sacred feminine and living a yogic lifestyle has profoundly transformed my life, which is why I’m so passionate about sharing these practices. My heartfelt intention is that they offer the same support, transformation, and peace to others that they have given me.
I specialize in Yin + Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Nidra—practices that honor slowness and mindfulness in an ever-busy, hustle-driven world.
Through hands-on adjustments, the creation of safe spaces, and intuitive guidance, I help individuals deepen into their authentic selves, restoring balance and connection in a grounded and sacred way.
YOGA AS MEDICINE
FROM BURNOUT TO BALANCE
For over 15 years, I worked in the medical field as a Radiologic Technologist, specializing in CT, MRI, and mammography. Immersed in the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of hospital life, I was constantly navigating the hustle—moving from one urgent task to the next under the bright lights and endless demands. While I excelled in this role, the constant drive eventually left me feeling depleted and disconnected.
I found myself yearning to reconnect with my nurturing feminine side and cultivate a healthier, more harmonious relationship with my inner drive and ambition. This desire led me to step away from the clinical setting and embrace a more balanced way of being—one rooted in mindfulness, self-care, and connection to the natural world.
By slowing down, aligning with nature’s rhythms, and deepening my spiritual practice, I discovered a profound sense of wholeness. Now, I’m honored to guide others on their own path toward balance, healing, and transformation.
I received my 220-hour Yoga Teacher Training through Sage Yoga & Wellness and am a certified Trauma-Informed + Mindful Movement Yoga Practitioner and Master Reiki Practitioner in the Usui Reiki lineage. I am also in my second year of Womb Awakening apprenticeship with the Institute of Feminine Arts in Australia. As I deepen this sacred work, I am preparing for a transformative journey to Bali, where I will certify to facilitate womb awakening workshops and retreats, and become a Womb/Hara Massage Therapist.
Above all, I am a forever student of life—continually learning, evolving, and deepening my connection to the world around me.
At Root + Rise Wellness, we honor the cycles of the Earth and Moon, nourish through nature’s abundance, and move with the seasons to rediscover our true essence. Whether through private yoga, wellness consulting, or transformative retreats, my mission is to guide you toward WILD freedom—a life of balance, nourishment, and untamed authenticity.
Grounded in the rooted rhythms of nature and sacred self-care, I offer a unique ability to help you heal, connect, and transform. Together, we’ll awaken the wildness within, empowering you to rise and radiate from the inside out.
You are not just in safe hands—you are in magical ones. Let’s journey together toward your most balanced, aligned, and vibrant self.
