Christina Aye

Christina had a wonderful life until her late teens when her life got turned upside down. For the next twenty-two years, she battled depression and anorexia after a traumatic experience. One morning she woke up and realized she had lost everything in her life. She decided she deserved better and wanted to return to the joyful and succesful life she once had. So her journey into remission began. She would not have survived the many crises had it not been for her loving parents always by her side. She is now healthy and happier than ever. Currently she is studying to be a counselling psychologist.
