MY STORY

Hello everyone!

‘A true Pisces with specific Aries traits’ is how the Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor/Doula has been described by many who know her. Born on the cusp of the astrological signs of Pisces and Aries, this ‘soul-searching Light Worker’ has found her niche…and it is ‘wellness’.

Christina Wherry is the middle of three siblings. She grew up in South L.A. and Inglewood (in California). She is a Mother, a Sister, a Daughter, an Aunt, and a Friend…she is also an Author, a Spoken-word Artist, a Business Owner, a Teacher, and a Healer.

Christina has always been a precocious child, yet her development was in an area in which she didn’t have much support. She was inquisitive, imaginative, caring, and very sensitive. As she grew, she became more aware of Self and its power in her own life-experience. And from that awareness was birthed a ‘soul-searching student of life’ who would embark on a spiritual journey that required her involvement in ‘whole body-mind wellness’, including mindfulness meditation, yoga, and Kemetic Reiki. And as her caring and inquisitive natures became more intense, Christina expanded her interest to ‘assisting new life’; as a result, she studied ‘womb wellness’ and now is able to provide coaching and support during one’s pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Passionate about holistic wellness practices, Christina created her own line of ‘healing products’. Mindful Botanica Body Shop is the brainchild of the avid lover-of-life. It represents a line of plant-based body, bath, and lip care products that are ‘created with love, care, and purpose’. With her young daughter as her ‘assistant’, Christina creates and produces ‘healing products’ intended to influence the healing of mind, body and spirit.

The self-healing ‘Healer’ embarked on her soul-searching journey over ten years ago. She investigated, discovered, researched, developed and healed. She’s used her journeying to become empowered to assist you on yours.

Christina Wherry, the middle child of three, is a genuine Pisces – loving, sensitive, imaginative, intuitive and caring. Her passion for healing, empowerment, and fulfillment are embedded within the fibers of her soul. Her role in creating Thick Girl Yoga L.A. came naturally as she was born to be of service to others…and her focus is on those whose focus is on their own well-being and overall wellness.

As the Owner and Creator of Thick Girl Yoga L.A., Christina has represented her brand at numerous events. Never one to back away from an ‘offer’ or an ‘opportunity’, the whole-body wellness advocate participated in various events focusing on healing and wellness where she shared meditation, yoga, and, in some cases, womb wellness, information. Some of these events include L.A. Care Yoga & Meditation, Supr Fest Vegan Festival, LMU Yoga Day, Soul Long Beach Festival, Senior Yoga (at Whittier College in Whittier, CA), and Nappywood. When the opportunity to model for Athleta Inc. (whose parent company is Gap Inc.) arrived, Christina jumped at the chance! She, along with her daughter, modeled yoga/fitness clothing for the ‘Power of She’ Campaign in the fall of 2019. This opportunity led to two more assignments for the ‘mommy-daughter duo’ as they signed on to model in the summer and fall Athleta Inc. campaigns for 2020.

With her Aries traits taking control, Christina created and hosted Thick Girl Yoga LA Aligned Chakra Yoga & Meditation Training, Thick Girl Yoga LA Beach Day, Rebirth Goddess Circle, The Art Of Femininity: Waistbeads & Yoni Steams, 90’s Hip Hop Thick Girl Flow Workshop, Mindful Mamas of Yoga, and Self Care Sunday’s Pop up Yoga Class. And expanding on the ‘I can!’ attitude of the Aries, this true Piscean appeared on podcasts spreading her message and purpose. She can be heard on Black Womxn Healing Pod and on Avocado & Honey. Additionally, she was featured in an article on Medium.com about her focuses on ‘body-positivity’, mediation, and combining neo-soul music with yoga.

Christina Wherry is a mother-of-one, and a lover of many. Her sensitivities and sensibilities influenced a path that she willingly followed. And as she continues on her own spiritual and healing journeys, she uses her time and energy to assist you on yours. Through its ‘foundations’ of meditation and yoga, Christina’s Thick Girl Yoga L.A. intends to assist those individual who not only appreciate and respect holistic practices, yet who are also unfamiliar to them. TGYLA represents overall mind-body-spirit healing, and Christina Wherry aims to fully honor its representation.
