Meet the fungi’s and girls who make up our tribe.
Alongside caring for each patient’s heart—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—her career has continued to evolve into exciting new paths. She has contributed to cutting edge clinical research, Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) education and training, and medical facility quality and compliance initiatives. Chy is deeply passionate about bringing a high-consciousness mindset and making a meaningful impact in the lives of her colleagues, patients, students, clients, and the organizations she serves.
On a humbling journey to heal herself, she became a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200, Est. 2020) and continues her practice with a focus on healing trauma and maintaining healthy nervous system function. She has an insatiable appetite for exploring people, nature, theology, spirituality, and phenomenology (the study of consciousness).
Her deepest passion is the sacred practice of dream interpretation, a calling that began in early childhood. Drawn to the mystery and meaning of dreams, she eagerly immersed herself in every piece of dream literature she could find, gradually nurturing the intuitive gifts that would become central to her path. Alongside this lifelong spiritual devotion, Chy remains a “forever student” of life, currently focusing her studies on somatic healing, mindfulness coaching, and Pranayama (breathwork), deepening her ability to compassionately guide and support others.
Cheyenne’s desire to connect with, uplift, and serve others ultimately led to the creation and founding of The Night Sun.
You do not need to seek wisdom in some distant land, for it exists in your own body, mind, heart, and soul.
BKS Iyengar
Christina has always carried a natural light about her—an unmistakable warmth, energy, and fire that shines through in the way she moves through the world. Born with a Cajun fire in her spirit and a natural rhythm in her soul, Christina has always experienced dance as one of the purest expressions of her spirit. She became a fitness/dance instructor in 2009 and channeled that passion into inspiring and empowering others through rhythm, connection, and self-expression.
Since 2014, she has worked across the corporate, startup, and independent contracting worlds as an HR and talent professional, bringing a deeply solution-oriented approach to every space she enters. She has a passion for building and optimizing systems, with a special focus on automations, workflow configuration, integrations, and process improvement—thoughtfully tailoring tools and solutions to meet the unique needs of each client and team she serves.
Known as “The Research Mama,” she has a deep love of learning, and there are few subjects that escape her interest. She is a trained Ritual Guide, Yoga Nidra Guide, and Trauma-Informed Yoga Guide, as well as an Ayurvedic and Holistic Nutrition Advisor and a fervent student of Pranayama (breathwork).
Christina has a heart on fire to spread genuine light and joy, share sacred space, and lovingly fête others as they walk their sacred paths toward realizing their divine wholeness.
Everything in the universe has rhythm, everything dances.
