Carla is easily one of these wisdom keepers – holding a powerful yet grounded presence for others. Authentic, balanced, open and inspiring – she carries a special and unique message for women everywhere.”

It is all you Carla, you are putting huge tools of self awareness and self care into the world.  Thanks again Carla, you are a gem in this life… a true light guiding us all to our best version of ourselves and for that I am very very grateful!!”

To be in the presence of an exceptional woman and teacher is a gift in itself,

“To be in the presence of an exceptional woman and teacher is a gift in itself, to have her knowledge, wisdom and creativity shared with us, is a treasure. Carla used her talents to bring us deeper into our bodies and this truly was magical. To be in the presence other exceptional women each teachers in their own way and from their own life experiences was an honor and an experience I will hold dearly in my heart for some time.” ~ Denise Marshall
