Welcome to Lifeimals Village. where learning meets heart. ![]()
Have you ever wondered how I came up with the name Lifeimals Village?
It started with a simple idea:
Life + Animals = Lifeimals Village
I wanted to create a world where children could learn through lovable animal friends.
That's how Lifeimals Village was born, a village where wonder begins in a child's heart and curiosity grows in their mind. ![]()

Healing Out Loud:
From Seizures to Stories in Lifeimals Village
She is a children’s author and the creator of Lifeimals Village, before she was building stories for children, she was living through a journey that tested every part of her.
Unfortunately, she was living with Epilepsy and experiencing seizures. She was tired of being sick and tired. Seizures did not only affect her body, they tormented her emotions, her mind, her confidence, and her sense of safety.
One of the most difficult moments of her life came when she suffered a tonic-clonic seizure (grand-mal) while crossing a major intersection in Lake Worth, FL. A stranger stepped in to help her, and years later she was able to share her search for that person publicly, hoping to one day say "Thank you" face to face, https://www.wflx.com/2024/02/10/woman-searches-lake-worth-beach-hero-decade-later/
While it hasn't happened... Yet. She still hopes the individual knows how truly grateful she is for helping her.
Moving forward was not easy. For some time, it felt it was impossible.
However, she learned that healing is real, and that moving forward is worth it.
A bit over eight years ago, thankfully, Cristina had a left temporal lobe resection (brain surgery). She has not had a seizure since.
The photo attached was taken after surgery, when she was grateful to be able to tell her family and friends that she was okay.
What was once a place of uncertainty in her life has become a place of healing and hope.
Today, Cristina works on her passion of building Lifeimals Village, Where Life + Animals = Lifeimals Village, where children discover a world through animals they love.
A world where wonder begins in a child’s heart and curiosity grows in their mind.
Elmo, Let's Play!
A few days later, Cristina and a dear friend played with Elmo....
Sometimes healing starts with playing.
They didn’t run fast.
They didn’t go far.
They played in the quiet.
Just as they were...
There's something magical about seeing a child's face light up when they meet a character they love
Recently, Cristina had the chance to say hello to Elmo, and it was a wonderful reminder that joy, laughter, and imagination have the power to bring people together, no matter your age.
As the creator of Lifeimals Village, Cristina believes every child deserves moments that make them smile, spark their curiosity, and remind them they are loved. 💛
If your little one ever has the chance to meet Elmo or another favorite character, don't miss it. Those smiles, hugs, and giggles become memories they'll treasure for years to come.
