In 2016, she decided to take a chance on a new life, moving to the Sierra Nevada mountains to start a dog walking company. Slowing down and spending her days wandering in the woods showed her how beautifully fulfilling a simple, peaceful life could be. It was there and then that she promised herself to never follow the beat of anyone else’s drum.

In 2023, Christi, her husband and two year old son took a trip to Kaua'i where she fell head over heels in love with the Slow Yourself Down compound. Moved by the energy and tangible proof that businesses can be run heart first, she reached out to the team when they posted a job opening, and the rest is history. She is grateful every day to work with a team that shares a vision, creative passion and heart for ethical and sustainable sourcing.

But more than anything, she is moved and inspired by the opportunity to be a part of a business who is choosing to create differently; in an effort to change the world and the way we produce and consume products. She hopes you feel this powerful energy in every product you touch at Slow Yourself Down and that it inspires you to implement the Slow Yourself Down mantra in your everyday life.
