About Carla

I am … a mom, coach, spouse and friend, along with several other roles.  Within these roles, I strive to enjoy each moment (even the tough ones), show others my belief in their uniqueness and have fun.

I believe … we each have the ability to choose who we want to be and how we want to live.

I know … that we each have a choice as to where we focus our energy, whether that is on the positive or the negative.  That choice moves us closer or further away from our dreams.

I love … laughing with my family, watching my kids play on the beach, and cuddling up with a good book.

Carla’s ability to listen is a gift.  I always felt as though I came away from each session with valuable insights into identifying pieces to the puzzle of living the way I want to live my life.
