Domestic violence often serves as a push or pull force. People at risk, usually women and girls, often fall under the control of traffickers while attempting to escape intimate-partner abuse. My name is Kristiana Stefanic. I am the Founder and CEO of Orion Healing Center and the StarLight Church. I spent the last three years developing and leading these nonprofit agencies to support the healing of trafficked individuals.

I incorporate the science and study of victimology; the cause of victimization, its consequences, how the criminal justice system accommodates and assists victims, and how other elements of society, such as the media, deal with crime victims. In 2010, I opened the Awakened Yoga Studio and trademarked my own yoga teaching program, the Awakened University and Transitive Yoga™. During this time I donated my services for individuals at Catalyst Domestic Violence Center and Rape Crisis in Chico, California. I volunteered my time doing trauma-informed and recovery yoga to victims and their children who were living in the safe houses while they regained their independence and ability to rejoin their community. I also donated mindful meditation services and yoga
