“Dr. Christina Bjorndal is an exceptional educator. Her passion for sharing her knowledge not only comes from her educational background but from living in the trenches of personal health challenges. This makes her teaching unique to those desiring to learn beyond the typical physiological academic format. Adding the mental and spiritual components to her presentations provides a piece commonly overlooked by others but much needed to be a complete healer.”

“You have been an inspiration for so many people through your participation in the Mental Health Regained public workshops in Vancouver in 2012 and 2014, and now in Toronto in 2015. Also, your talk at the August 2013 Brain Solutions was the best of the event. You are making a valuable contribution, for which I am grateful.”

Steven Carter

Former Director - Canadian Society of Orthomolecular Medicine

“I was a fellow speaker at the Brain Solutions Conference this past weekend. I never got the opportunity to congratulate you on your speech. I think it was wonderful and really enjoyed hearing your story.

I currently practice almost every suggestion you presented at the conference. Sleep, a diet of whole foods, exercise, and positive cognitive therapy are all pillars of my wellness.

It was terrific listening to you, I just wish I had the opportunity to have spoken with you after. Perhaps, we will meet in the future. If you ever give a talk in Ottawa, I’d love to show you around.”

“Just wanted to thank you so very much for the presentation that you gave at the Brain Solutions Conference on Sunday. I found it very insightful and as my friend, David, said ‘the stuff that makes for Nobel Prize recipients—brilliance. You have an ability to take a very complex subject and make it simple and elegant’. I wholeheartedly agree. Many thanks again, With warm regards.”

“Thank you for your talk at the Brain Solutions conference today, I enjoyed it. I am a psychiatrist in BC Children’s Hospital’s eating disorder inpatient, day treatment and outpatient units and I appreciated your insight. It is appreciated! Thank you again!”

Conference in Vancouver.  After hearing Dr. Bjorndal speak about her personal experiences with mental illness, and her clinical work with treatment plans, I have absolute faith in recommending Dr. Bjorndal as one of Canada’s leading experts in this area for treating the whole person.  She is compassionate, caring, and was given a rave review from her peers.  We’re grateful Vancouverites got to participate in this important learning session.”
