My Journey of Health & Heart
Home » MY STORY

My name is Cristi and I was born with a Congenital Heart Defect called Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum.

 

I have had 4 Open Heart Surgeries, 2 modified Fontan procedures, a Pacemaker and most recently a Pulmonary Valve Replacement.

After all of my surgeries, I was left with Keloid Scarring on my chest that I was ashamed of and hid for most of my life. Growing up I lived in a constant state of bitterness and felt that the world owed me.


It wasn't until a few years ago that I turned my life around and started to live with a positive outlook that my life has changed completely! I found a love for food and fitness that has dramatically improved my emotional and physcial health.

I want to share with others that your circumstances do not dictate your outlook and that what happens to you does not define who you are, only you do that!
