meet the team
Christina Ann
Hi my name is Christina-Ann, I’ve been a part of the Body By Design team since 2010. My journey with Body By Design started as a patient. I was in a rear end collision back in 2009 when my car was stopped on the parkway and a car hit me from behind. Soon after I was experiencing severe headaches every single day, not knowing any better at the time I was taking up to 9 extra strength tylenol every single day, drinking caffeinated beverages because someone told me that would help with the headaches. The headaches never got better and seemed to be getting worse.
Finally I was introduced to Dr. Ryan, he was the first doctor that actually sat down with me listened to what was going on, did a complete evaluation including x-rays and then spent time going over and explaining exactly what was wrong with me and empowering me to make the changes necessary to better my current state of health. It made so much sense, my spine was completely out of alignment putting pressure on my nervous system causing my severe headaches. I immediately started Corrective Chiropractic Care to fix my spine.
Dr. Ryan also taught me about proper nutrition and the rest was history. My headaches completely resolved, throughout this process I began to realize that there are other people out there exactly like me, struggling, in pain, not knowing where to turn. I was led to pursue my passion to help and guide others toward holistic natural healthcare so they too can learn that health comes from the inside out not outside in. All that I have learned here in the office has enabled me to be a loving wife and mother to my family. A quick fun fact about me is that I love to travel, exercise and spend time with my family.
Amanda
Hi my name is Amanda! I joined the Body By Design Team January of 2019. I was born and raised right on Long Island just a few minutes away from our Garden City office. 4 years ago my better half and I moved from Long Island to San Antonio Texas, I was running away from the snow..lol. For a large part of my working career I was able to work with and for one of Long Island’s best hospitals. My time at St. Francis taught me to value, honor and care for patients as well as work side by side with some of the greatest doctors in the world.
My time with them has given me all of the essential tools and skills needed to help Body By Design expand their vision and grow their mission of helping and serving the New York community by teaching, educating and caring for as many people as we possibly can. I am so happy and blessed that I am able to continue my journey in the healthcare field and make a huge impact in my hometown all the way from Texas.
Just a few more quick and fun facts about me, I am a brand new mom to an AMAZING little boy named Cameron, he is the best gift I have ever been blessed with <3. I love dogs (I have 2 of them) so 3 kids in total : ) I love the beach even though it’s not as easy to get to and I just love to help people!
Dimitra
Hi, my name is Dimitra but people call me Demi! I am 20 years old and I am studying dietetics and nutrition. My passion is fitness and bodybuilding. I spend a lot of quality time focusing on building strength both physically and mentally. A fun fact about me is that I am obsessed with nut butters and am starting my own nut butter company. Being cancer and sensitive, helping others is what I love to do, so being a part of the Body by design team is the perfect fit for me!
Ana
Hello! My name is Ana Rosario. I'm 18 years old and I'm a college student here in Nassau! I love to go to the gym and I love hanging out with my friends and family! My favorite music to listen to would probably be heavy metal or corridos! I'm passionate about learning new things and working hard so that one day I can make an impact on our world. Body By Design has given me the chance to help others the best way I possibly can!
Emily
Hi! My name is Emily, and I'm excited to join the Body by Design team. I studied Integrative Neuroscience at Binghamton University in upstate New York. My passions include mental health, physical wellness, and self-discovery.
As an artist, I love bringing ideas to life through creative expression, with a special focus on jewelry making and beadwork. Some of my favorite activities are reading, weight lifting, dancing, doing puzzles, and spending quality time with my loved ones. I've lived on Long Island my entire life but have been fortunate enough to travel to many places, both within and outside the U.S. So far, my favorite destination has been Dinant, Belgium. I truly believe in the power of community, and I'm thrilled to become a part of this one. I look forward to contributing and supporting others in every way I can. (:
