As a fee-only financial planner, my focus is to offer unbiased financial advice to help you achieve your life goals. - Cristina Livadary, CFP®, RLP®
Fee-Only financial planner located in Los Angeles, CA, serving clients locally and across the country

Cristina Livadary is a fee-only financial planner based in Los Angeles, California and is the CEO of Mana Financial Life Design. Mana Financial Life Design provides comprehensive financial planning/life design and investment management services to help clients organize, grow and protect their wealth throughout life’s journey. Mana specializes in advising professionals in the tech industry, as well as women who work in institutional investing, through financial planning and investment management. As a fee-only fiduciary and independent financial advisor, Cristina never receives a commission of any kind. She is legally bound by her certification to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.
Cristina Livadary is a Certified Financial Planner® and Registered Life Planner®. Formerly she led sales and consulting efforts as a Regional Director for Russell Investments, one of the world’s largest institutional investment consultants. In this role she worked for the Advisor and Intermediary Services division in both Southern California and Hawaiian markets. Cristina has consulted for and worked with over 10,000 financial advisors. After years of experience in the industry she grew dissatisfied with the wide disparities in knowledge, empathy, and skill within the advisor population. Today, she believes that even greater success can be achieved by solving issues holistically - with individuals and their families. Cristina designed her own life plan and has transitioned to her dream career as a financial life planner who does everything in her power to positively impact the lives of her clients. When she’s not hard at work, you can find Cristina in the great outdoors. She is passionate about surfing and adventuring around the world.

Mana is a native Hawaiian concept of power unrelated to wealth. You have a chance to gain or lose mana in everything that you do.
Just like a personal trainer helps clients achieve physical fitness, we are accountability partners in becoming financially fit. With our process, clients can withstand anything. And best of all, we stand by their side the whole way – making sure they do.
We work one-on-one with clients on a regular basis. Clients can expect monthly virtual meetings. We use the latest tools and technology to keep clients on track and monitor their progress. Clients can customize their experience and adjust aspects of their planning based on milestones and scheduled reviews
Mana is changing the game.
As a fee-only advisor, we only charge for our process. We do not push products or require minimum assets. We are compensated only by our clients, no matter what their income.
We are dedicated to helping clients achieve their biggest dreams, regardless of where they are in the journey.
