Christal’s background as an athlete inspired her to study Athletic Therapy and Kinesiology, driven by a desire to understand, treat, and prevent injury. After years working with sports teams and in rehabilitation, she noticed a gap in care for people with unexplained pain. This led her to osteopathic manual therapy, where she found a deeper understanding of how the body’s systems are interconnected. Her ongoing studies explore the physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of healing. In 2019, she founded Take Flight Osteopathic Wellness to help people move beyond pain and truly thrive.
