Hello Friends, Family, and Strangers,

I've spend years as a therapist supporting others through some of the hardest seasons of their lives. Recently, I entered my own.

As some of you know, I was recently diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS). Receiving this news has been humbling and scary and as much as I understand coping tools intellectually, living it firsthand is different. This diagnosis has brought uncertainty but it has also awakened something in me, and that is a deep desire to take an active role in my healing journey.

I am raising funds to attend a retreat with Dr. Joe Dispenza on May 10-16, 2026, in Grapevine, Texas. Dr. Joe Dispenza focuses on neuroscience, meditation, and the mind-body connection. My goal is not to chase a miracle cure, but to strengthen my resilience, regulate my nervous system, and cultivate hope during a season that has felt overwhelming.

Living with MS brings me a lot of fear about the future, but I am choosing instead to invest in tools that help me stay grounded, empowered, and mentally strong.

If you feel called to support me, whether through a donation or simply sharing this page. I am deeply grateful. Your support means more than I can put into words.

With love and gratitude,

Cristina Monrroy
