Christina Roersma is the owner of Charisma's Body Essentials in Courtenay British Columbia. She came to the island 12 years ago from Alberta where she studied chemistry and biology and completed her holistic studies in Massage Therapy and Aromatherapy. After her ten year she continued her education in British Columbia earning her Advanced diploma as a nail technician and then completed certificates in professional waxing and advance pedicure work.
