Dr. Christina Hector, DO is a Board-Certified physician specializing in Sports Medicine and Regenerative Aesthetic Medicine. She is a wellness speaker, founder of Nature’s Purée—a natural skincare line for the whole family—and author of The Natural Skincare Playbook: Everything You Need to Know About Plant-Based Beauty which has achieved Amazon Best Seller status.

She is also the co-founder of Onyx Direct Care LLC, also known as Onyx Aesthetics and Sports Medicine—a physician-owned wellness brand that serves as the foundation for her work in musculoskeletal medicine, regenerative aesthetics, and community health education.

Her mission is clear:
“I help people stay strong, healthy, and confident — from fitness & joint care to skin & self-care.”

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Dr. Christina discovered her love for science and healing at an early age. A former Division I track and field athlete, she understands the connection between performance, recovery, and confidence. She earned her medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now RowanSOM), completed her residency at Crozer-Keystone, and a Sports Medicine fellowship at Atlantic Sports Health, where she worked with the New York Jets.

As a female physician, Dr. Christina brings a deeply personal, approachable, and empowering voice to the world of health and wellness. Her patients value her ability to listen, personalize treatment, and explain things in a way that makes them feel seen and supported. She provides care for everyone—from student-athletes and corporate professionals to busy moms—blending osteopathic principles, performance medicine, and aesthetic solutions.

In addition to treating joint and muscle pain, she offers advanced skin treatments such as microneedling, VI Peels, Jeuveau, and PRP. Nature’s Purée was born out of her frustration with synthetic ingredients; she wanted safe, clean, and effective skincare for her own family. Today, her formulations reflect her medical training, personal values, and belief in holistic wellness.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Christina is a dynamic speaker and mentor who travels the country to speak on self-care, entrepreneurship, women’s health, and her journey as a Black woman in medicine. She also works with veterans as an Independent Medical Examiner and serves as a team physician for local colleges and high schools.

A wife, mom of three, and proud dog-mom, Dr. Christina lives by the mantra:
“Self-care is self-love.”
