  • Christianna Deichmann

    Founder & Director of Education · Somatic Therapist · Spiritual Systems Designer

    Christianna is the visionary founder and Director of Education at the Flower of Life Foundation, where she designs and teaches courses, workshops, and transformational therapy services rooted in both science and spiritual wisdom. She is a skilled psychosomatic practitioner who bridges ancient mystery school teachings with modern neurobiology and trauma-informed care.

    With decades of experience in the healing arts, Christianna brings a unique and integrative approach that blends modalities from Eastern and Western medicine, Hermetic philosophy, Druidic shamanism, and the esoteric Tree of Life. Her work is grounded in the belief that true healing begins when the subconscious becomes conscious—when we illuminate the unseen dynamics that shape our lives and relationships.

    Christianna is a trained massage therapist and biodynamic craniosacral therapist, with additional certifications and experience in Bowen therapy, myofascial release, and pre- and perinatal psychology.

    As an educator, guide, and systems designer, she continues to develop pioneering programs that help people awaken to their divine potential, embody soul consciousness, and heal intergenerational trauma by realigning with natural law and sacred geometry.

  • Jessi Giannini

    Jessi (she/ her) is a local mamma from Barboursville who currently lives south of Charlottesville with her husband and their two young sons.

    Jessi is passionately dedicated to learning about prenatal, birth and postpartum care, and harbors a special interest in epigenetics and the amazing discoveries being uncovered with regard to the intelligence of our consciousness and its interaction with DNA. Between full-time mamma-ing at home and preparing for her newborn in late winter, she is focused primarily on working with postpartum mothers/ families.

    Her inspirations include writing, photography, humanitarian advocacy in general, and nurturing mothers-to-be through the beautiful and intense rite of passage that is Matresence. Jessi brings grounding, stabilizing and supportive energy which she hopes will allow mothers and caregivers alike to be their most authentic, vulnerable -- and empowered -- selves in her care. tion goes here

  • Stephanie Duran

    Full Spectrum Maternal & Family Advocate and Educator, Digital Architect

    Stephanie is the digital designer and systems builder behind the Flower of Life Foundation’s web and video productions. Working alongside Christianna, she co-creates the digital infrastructure that supports the movement—ensuring that each program, course, and message flows seamlessly across platforms and reaches those who need it most. Her visionary design work reflects the Foundation’s ethos: beauty, accessibility, and soul-aligned functionality.

    Rooted in a fierce commitment to healing intergenerational trauma, Stephanie believes that breaking cycles of abuse begins before birth. With a systems-thinking mind and a deeply empathetic heart, she recognizes how education, healthcare, justice, climate, and economics are interconnected forces shaping family well-being. She channels this awareness into actionable strategies and storytelling that inspire transformation.

    From maintaining the architecture that holds this digital temple to illuminating stories of hope and healing, Stephanie's work is a vital thread in the web we are weaving—one that supports families in reclaiming sovereignty and re-patterning the future.

  • Dr. Cynthia Hatton

    Infant Chiropractic & Craniosacral Care

    Dr. Cynthia Hatton is a chiropractor and certified craniosacral therapist with over 28 years of experience, devoted exclusively to the care of newborn babies and infants. Her work focuses on supporting the infant nervous system as it integrates the birth experience, using exceptionally gentle chiropractic care, craniosacral therapy, and dynamic body balancing. Trained through the Upledger Institute and mentored by leading educators in pediatric craniosacral care, Dr. Cynthia brings deep clinical skill and a profoundly respectful touch to the earliest stages of life.

    At Flower of Life, Dr. Cynthia’s approach honors the understanding that birth is a formative imprint for both baby and family. She works with infants experiencing colic, reflux, latch challenges, torticollis, sleep disturbances, and general discomfort, helping release tension patterns that may arise from both routine and more complex births. Her care often brings relief not only to the baby, but to the entire family system.

    Dr. Cynthia is also certified in the Webster Technique for pregnancy, supporting pelvic balance, nervous system regulation, and optimal fetal positioning throughout gestation. She is active in community education and professional collaboration, offering guidance to midwives, lactation consultants, birth workers, and healthcare practitioners.
