Testimonials
Carrie has a natural way of quickly guiding her client into a deep contact through which to process. Her empathy and intuition honor the client where they are and help move them away from pain.
Carrie did a nice polarity piece for me. She kept me on track while reviewing my internal conflicts. Carrie brings compassion and an open heart to her coaching.
Since my first session with Carrie, I was in awe and inspired by the equine and gestalt work. I found the experience to be very transformational as I moved out of my head and into my body. I felt myself release years of trauma stored in my heart and body from undergoing years of intimate partner abuse. Carrie has a beautiful way of making you feel safe and comfortable while building a powerful relationship with your inner self. The work with the horse has been a positive way to face fears and challenges with a higher spirit present. Her work has helped me redefine my purpose and identity in this world and to move through life with grace and ease.
