About Us
"Healing is comprehensive in that we welcome the mind (our beliefs), the body (physical and emotional), and Spirit (our connection to Higher benevolent purpose) in a co-creative experience, bringing inner truth to light. To engage in any kind of healing is to create a fertile environment for transformation and growth where you unveil the roots of separation from the self and love them back to connection. " ~Christine Jude

Meet Christine
Christine Jude Winus is the visionary founder of Rising Earth Healing Arts, is not only a licensed massage therapist and somatic bodywork therapist but also a wise woman mentor and educator who weaves together the threads of ancient healing wisdom with modern therapeutic practices. With over a decade of experience, Christine has become a beacon of transformative healing, guiding women on a deeply personal and soulful journey toward wellness.
Her approach is a masterful fusion of craniosacral therapy, functional medicine, and somatic trauma-informed techniques, each designed to unlock the body’s innate wisdom. Christine believes that the body is a sacred storyteller, holding within it the profound knowledge necessary for deep healing and transformation. She honors this truth, helping clients reconnect with their body’s intuitive language to release pain, trauma, and blockages, while encouraging emotional and spiritual rebirth.
Christine serves families (women, men and children) and her practice is particularly powerful for women navigating the many transitions of life—whether seeking natural fertility support, finding embodiment after trauma, or in need of somatic healing. Her nurturing guidance empowers women to rediscover their innate strength and wisdom, while her spiritual mentorship offers a transformative pathway toward self-actualization. With Christine, you don’t just heal—you awaken to your truest, most embodied self.

Our Community
Christine’s work extends beyond individual healing to supporting the broader community of women and families on their wellness journeys. As a practitioner of trauma-informed care, she provides compassionate support for those navigating life transitions, reproductive health challenges, and healing from past traumas. Her passion for holistic health also leads her to create art as medicine, through sacred weaving and sculpting with clay. Christine believes in the importance of nature and connection to the Earth, with many of the herbs offered in the Rising Earth Apothecary being grown in her own gardens.
