Carla has a passion for non-profit work and community activism. She has built successful community coalitions in the various places she’s lived across the country, focusing on issues such as environmental awareness and recycling, parenting and youth development. She now brings her passion for personal development and healing to her coaching clients and the workshops she leads.
Upon moving to Minneapolis in 2014, she began pro-bono coaching for Pathways, a Minneapolis non-profit that serves people facing health crises. That same year she became a coach/facilitator for the Southwest Greif Coalition, offering support and encouragement to those mourning the loss of a loved one. Helping others through such life-shattering experiences is where Carla shines. Her empathy and compassion create safe places for her clients to work through their life challenges.
Carla’s own life experiences inform her work as a coach and presenter. She’s faced cancer as both patient and care giver. She’s been married, divorced and remarried (36 years and counting), raised three daughters and now dotes on her two granddaughters. She’s moved cross-country multiple times and learned how to create community wherever she lands. She’s suffered deep losses and knows how healing takes its own time.
As a coach and facilitator, Carla is fearless and willing to stand with her clients through dark, scary times. She is also a cheerleader and champion for her clients’ successes on their journeys. Please reach out to her if you think she can help you on your life journey.
