My Story
Christina Connors has spent over two decades doing one thing with extraordinary consistency: helping people come back to themselves.
As a burnout prevention specialist, keynote singer, MBSR-certified mindfulness practitioner, and creator of The S.O.N.G. Method™ — a first-of-its-kind music-centered methodology for personal transformation. Christina brings together the healing power of live music and the science of pattern awareness to help caregivers, parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals find their center again. Not through more information. Through music that speaks directly to the heart.
Her work is rooted in 23 years of one-on-one wellness practice in Greenwich, Connecticut — where she witnessed the same heartbreaking pattern again and again: people would leave her care feeling calm, restored, and like themselves again, only to lose that peace the moment they stepped back into their lives. That observation became her mission. The S.O.N.G. Method™ is her answer.
Christina’s creative partnership with multi-platinum Broadway and Disney composer David Friedman is central to everything she builds. Together they co-authored the children’s picture book We Can Be Kind and co-curated the musical content for KindMind Education—a premier trauma-informed social-emotional learning curriculum used in schools across the country. Friedman also writes all of the original songs for Christina’s Christina’s Cottage YouTube channel, an engaging, music-centered series dedicated to fostering emotional regulation and resilience in young children and nurturing the vital connection between children and the adults who care for them. This same creative partnership is the therapeutic core of Christina’s Songs for the Soul programs and The Caregiver’s Sanctuary, her music-and-mindfulness wellness community serving caregivers across healthcare, education, childcare, and senior care settings.
Christina is also the singing and speaking voice of The Healing Chickadee, a nonprofit program supporting children and their families through grief, a role that speaks to the depth of trust placed in her voice in life’s most tender moments.
Her credibility in the children’s and family wellness space carries a lineage that few can claim. Angela C. Santomero, Emmy Award-winning creator of Blue’s Clues and Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and the woman personally chosen by Fred Rogers to carry his legacy forward, has long looked to Christina as her own trusted mentor and friend. “Christina is an authentic voice in a world full of noise,” Angela says. “She embodies what she teaches. I trust her completely.”
As a performer, Christina has shared the stage with Broadway stars including Norm Lewis, performed at New York’s Shubert Theater for the Only Make Believe Foundation, and traveled throughout the United States, Europe, and South America, including three years with Costa Cruise Lines. She has recorded two albums: Dream Bigger… Songs of Hope, Healing and Inspiration (2017) and Ordinary Miracle (2022), both available in her store.
Christina is a distinguished member of KnoWEwell’s Regenerative Whole Health Council, a monthly expert contributor to the Healthy Kids column in Natural Awakenings Magazine, and was recognized by Global Woman Magazine as one of the most inspiring Top Global Women Entrepreneurs in 2024.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music Theater from the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford, and is certified in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). A native of West Hartford, Connecticut, she lives in Stamford with her husband.
