About me

Hiya, I’m Carla

Professionally trained Breathwork + Somatic Therapist & Trauma-Certified Breathwork Coach.

And before I go any further, let me tell you that I used to be VERY resistant to this work. So if that’s how you’re feeling too, I can completely relate.

I feel you …

I have a gift for truly seeing you

I have a gift for the work that I do, in truly seeing you, which makes me great at my job. I also know that I don't have the answers, you do.

We work together to find them, to heal you, to free you.

My lived experience of various traumas, including deaths, and growing up in a ceasefire makes great teachers.

If you're feeling a lot of resistance, that's my specialty.

My Story

I used to believe I had no passions, nothing I cared about and addicted to being the busiest person you ever met.

At 27, I started therapy and was prescribed yoga and meditation to help reconnect to my body and self. Simple, right? Only it wasn't. I was so used to trying so hard at everything, it was fucking chaos for the first few years to learn to let go of efforting. It does not work for healing.

Something kept me showing up. There was a part who knew this was the path for me.

One day, my therapist asked me to give up weight training. My first reaction? “Are you high?” My secondary reaction? "She's trying to make me fat."

But she planted a seed. A few months later, I stopped all high intensity workouts. For around 6–9 months I practised yoga and walked, a complete 360 from the woman who trained 6 days a week and pushed herself to her absolute limit every time as a way to regulate her emotions and escape herself.

My Approach

I trained as a Somatic and Breathwork coach because I know what it's like to want change desperately and feel so stuck.

You've done the talk therapy.

You understand healing deeply on an intellectual level.

Yet you still find yourself in the same patterns, the same relationships, the same spirals of rumination.

To breathe is to feel is to heal.

The body tells the truth of how we feel. There are often two different conflicting stories, what the body is saying, and what the story the brain wants to believe. Only feeling heals emotional trauma and that takes bodywork.

Breath is what connects body and mind.

The truth of how you feel about yourself shows up most clearly in your romantic relationships.

What you believe you deserve. Who you choose. How you meet conflict.

My sessions are a hybrid of Breathwork, Somatics and Compassionate Inquiry, to connect you more deeply to your body and the truth it holds for you.

An ocean of answers lies within.

This work brings awareness to the patterns that once served you, once protected you and are now holding you back.

These sessions are about learning to hold pain, not fix it. That is the path to feeling deeper love, real self-worth, and knowing who you are and what you want.

Let’s work together

My Values

Authenticity

For a long time I was so ashamed of who I was. My aspiration is to be unashamedly me and help others do the same.

Connection

All that matters in the end, is how deeply connected we are in relationships, which can only happen if we are deeply connected to ourselves.
