Engagements

Christina Hull brings nervous system science out of the classroom and into the room.

Whether you are planning a conference keynote, a professional development training, a community workshop, or an organizational learning series, Christina designs experiences that do not just inform. They shift something.

Her sessions are grounded in polyvagal science, trauma-informed practice, and over a decade of real clinical and organizational experience. She brings academic rigor, grounded human presence, and the kind of hard-won personal wisdom that makes complex science feel immediately accessible and applicable.

What Christina Brings to the Room

Christina has spent over a decade doing this work inside real organizations, classrooms, and clinical spaces. Not just studying it from the outside.

She has worked in school-based settings, conducted family home visits, facilitated parenting classes, and led stakeholder-driven community collaboration to build programming that connected directly with local schools and families. She has developed and delivered CEU-approved training on survivors of suicide loss and has contributed to statewide initiatives expanding access to care for underserved communities. She has trained and supervised licensed clinicians across Arkansas and Missouri and serves as an Adjunct Instructor of Social Work at Missouri State University. She has appeared on KY3 News speaking to nervous system regulation and managing anger in high-stress situations.

Her speaking topics draw from the same body of work: trauma and the nervous system, resilience-informed practice, supporting survivors of suicide loss, and what trauma-informed culture actually looks like from the inside out.
