Be the BEST YOU…
When simply surviving and going through the paces of life has taken its
toll and you’re simply done,
here exists a brilliant seedpod of potential for brave aliveness and wellbeing.
Glad you’re here.
Welcome, I’m Carolyn your guide.
Yes you absolutely can; step forward into BEING the healthiest and awakened version of yourself, and excitingly create the life you’ve maybe shelved for others or thought could only ever exist in your dreams…
vital and free in body, mind, emotional wellbeing, purpose, passion and spirit.
Each of us have basic needs that sometimes remain unfulfilled…
health, safety, connection, meaning and purpose, a place to call home and belong, creative expression.
We crave having a deep sense of energy, vibrant health and vitality for life.
And sometimes life gets in the way of experiencing this. Often we give our energy to everyone else first.
Life happens, and often not how we planned.
Whether anxious and stressed, have a heavy heart or upset emotions,
stuck in unhealthy patterns of thought or behaviors,
experiencing loss and natural life transitions, unhappy in relationships,
we ALL need support to gain new perspectives, heal, shift and grow.
(I totally seek and benefit from working with a Coach too.)
You can create a more vital sense of wellbeing and adventure for the next stage of your life
aligned with bucket list goals to express…
you have landed here, in the right place.

Services
I love my work and workshops to support individuals through the process of transformation into improved wellbeing… all about "transitions into transformations" for inner and outer health, happiness, relationships, career and enjoying life deliberately.
If you’re in mid-life+ like me, you’ve lived and worked fully, possibly married and divorced, maybe raised a family and cared for aging parents, succeeded in unique ways and dealt with life’s natural challenges and losses too. And, if a helper-type, you’ve surely put other’s needs before your own.
For a moment, consider the quality of your overall health and fulfillment, your creativity and sense of purpose?
What yearnings tug at you for your next chapter of life?
Mid-life is a natural time of taking stock, figuring out what comes next and asking ourselves soulful questions, such as;
“Who am I now?"
"What’s not in alignment anymore and even missing? What do I want and need now?"
"How do I bring my health and creative passions into priority again?"
"What dreams or callings did I put away and would regret were my life soon ending?"
"And, what am I super proud of myself for too?" (Because celebrating is vital too!)
At age 57, I acted on my inner yearnings and furthered my education! It was amazing! Your callings will be different, but are you even listening?
Life happens, it’s guaranteed… and often not exactly how we planned it to go. Whether you are anxious and stressed, holding a heavy heart, stuck in unhealthy patterns of thought or behaviors, experiencing loss and natural life transitions, feeling old emotional baggage surface or relationships yearning to change, we ALL need support to heal, gain new perspectives and ways to shift and grow.
Individual counseling is focused on YOU and what you need at this time to thrive. We start by understanding where you are now, who you dream to become and then apply the best approaches to help you step into a more vital and happier version of yourself.
Whether you simply need a really good listener, seek guidance and/or wish to set goals in specific areas of your life, be better equipped with resources/tools and accountability, focus on healing, release anxiety, depression and stress, clear old inner emotions and stories to become a happier version of yourself overall... in health, wellness, purpose and relationships. We will draw upon an eclectic tool-belt of modalities to support you!
Here’s what I know to be true, you are courageous, wise and powerful. Life may have thrown you some curves to navigate. Maybe you have a sense that it’s time to open the door to a new adventure or put your health and wellness at the top of your priority list.
I wholeheartedly welcome supporting you to emerge into healthier ways of being and living your beautiful life more deliberately.
“You have the capacity to create and wholeheartedly love your life, through the art of living deliberately.”
