about Carolyn
I am a former Early-Music nerd (BMus Performance (voice) plus a side-serving of business admin) who swapped concert halls and offices for massage tables and singing bowls.
Just over ten years ago, a combination of depression, anxiety, and panic attacks shattered me, and through that experience, I found healing, peace, and a healthier way to live.
Since then, I’ve become a self-described rest and body whisperer, exploring everything from hot stone massage and kinesiology to energy work, sound healing (Tibetan and crystal singing bowls are my favourites), Yoga Nidra, meditation, and rest coaching.
As someone recovering from perfectionism, burnout, and now advocating for rest, this journey is still ongoing for me (I'm always learning, relearning, experimenting... and sometimes tossing everything out the window, reading a book, and eating a packet of Mint Slices in one go... sigh). But I enjoy the process, and that’s what matters, right? To feel, to seek, and to have fun along the way.
I create warm, judgment-free spaces for women to connect with their bodies, rediscover their intuition, and feel supported in stillness.
Whether it’s an online workshop, a simple moment of guided breath, or more tangible offerings like my book, card decks, and journals, I am here to remind you that you deserve nourishment: inside and out.
When I’m not coaxing women to slow down and take a break, I’m out dancing (West Coast Swing is my ‘thing’), lifting weights, reading (I’m a sucker for paranormal romance!), grooving to whatever’s playing (sometimes in the supermarket aisle), trying not to kill my indoor plants or my garden, or bouncing between my nearly 90-year-old parents, my kids, and our cat, Tia.
