About the owner

Cristina Manos RPh. is a licensed pharmacist with over 25 years experience working in pharmacy, medicine, and alternative medicine. Cristina took to mentoring young women, starting in 2005 with the Big Brothers Big Sisters program and then taking over an established local nonprofit in 2006, Spirit of Service, in Tucson, Arizona, which offered low income members of the community alternative healthcare sessions with practitioners who volunteered to help this cause. Throughout her 18 years in Arizona, Cristina continued to invest in continuing education of all kinds, hoping to one day, own a wellness center and be able to offer natural wellness options to her community.

Cristina moved back to Ohio, where she is from, in 2019. In 2022, after many attempts in other areas of Ohio, Cristina was able to accept an opportunity to make her dream come true. A series of synchronistic events led to a surprise offer. Cristina had started working in a cozy wellness center, as a yoga instructor and suddenly found herself buying the wellness center to make it her own. Be Calm Yoga Studio & Wellness Center opened its doors on January 1st, 2023. Now in its second year of operation, the hub is adding to its service list, developing a strong network of practitioners in the area who use the yoga studio for events, and who use the clinical rooms for their individual sessions with clients.

Cristina earned her Pharmacy Degree from the University of Toledo in 1998 and started her career in Ohio, before moving to Tucson Arizona in 1999 and continuing her education by taking various courses at available universities and colleges. Her continuing education includes studying American Sign Language (ASL) at Pima Community College, taking graduate level courses in Counseling and Childhood Psychology at The University of Phoenix, and taking graduate level courses in Journalism at the University of Arizona. She is a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT, RYT200h), a certified Reiki Master (CRM), a certified Access Bars Consciousness® Practitioner (CABP), and an Ordained Healing Minister (OHM).

“My clients help me just as much as I help them. I’m honored to have the opportunity to serve this special little lake community and beyond. The people I’ve met here, and had the pleasure to work with, have made me feel grateful, blessed and inspired to keep going.“ ~Cristina Manos
