I have been an avid explorer of myself and the world my whole life, drawn to the stories of people from all walks of life, any race, ability or religion.
I find people fascinating and something worth celebrating, which is why I built my business around you!
How travel found me
When you travel, the most surprising bit of your journey that you discover, are things about yourself, and that’s where this all started.
Rewind to 18-year-old Carol, a camp counsellor in Boston. She has a lightbulb moment helping people with disabilities and other staff, have joy and independence. This was pure happiness. Something special had begun.
At 22, she finds herself living a very fast paced life in the United Arab Emirates encouraged by her mentor to try yoga to soothe. She takes her mentors advice and remembers her first yoga class like it was yesterday. Held at a beautiful beach hotel and the feeling has stayed to this day. A feeling of peace and contentment. But, fun with friends took priority, flights to exciting locations, rest days on the beach sipping long island iced tea. I thought it was fun. It felt like fun. But, then occasionally a feeling would arise. I needed something more, but I didn’t know what.
What is it, that makes people genuinely happy, successful and fulfilled? Why do some struggle and others thrive?
From curiosity to career
Living back home at 26, I began to carve a career in the corporate world. It felt okay at the beginning, but fast forward 8 years and cracks started to show, then burn out, stress and unhappiness.
Then, during a spring clean I found a leaflet from that very first yoga class and knew I needed to bring this back into my life. This is what I need! So, my quest begins to find what makes people genuinely happy, successful and fulfilled.
By my mid-thirties I was teaching yoga full time. Every session, I connected with my class, it was tangible for everyone. It felt amazing, I was finally on the right path! Life became a lot more calm, peaceful and wholesome. There were many bumps along the way but the tool of yoga helped me get back on track.
And the hypnotherapy? Well a few years later during a very low time in my life I encountered hypnotherapy and that with yoga turned things around for me. My mindset was completely changed. I was brought out of a depression and from that point wanted to help people go on an amazing journey too.
I have been teaching yoga for over 10 years and now specialise in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Yoga Therapy.
