About Carolyn
Carolyn is a life and spiritual coach, Reiki and massage practitioner, and a facilitator of workshops and community circles. After enduring a challenging 10 years with a chronic pain, depression, and anxiety, she woke up one day and decided this could not be how life really is. From that point forward she delved deep into her own healing and personal / spiritual development. Always continuing her own learning and development, she now is honored to be able to offer a refuge to those seeking their right to joy and truth in their life. She specializes in supporting Empaths who struggle with taking on and absorbing energies and burdens of others, find balance and passion in all realms of life, healthy energetic boundaries, and connection with their inner healer and higher self. She takes pride in assisting her clients in finding peace for their mind, love for their body, and strength for their soul so that they may flow in life as their divine authentic self.
