About Carla

Hola! Hello! I'm Carla Carolina. Originally from the tropical land of pineapples, butterflies and patacones: Panama.

I grew up in paradise, built a promising career in marketing, worked for some of the biggest brands in the region... and somewhere along the way, I lost myself.

I was living on automatic pilot. Busy, productive, successful by every external measure and quietly miserable.

Without fully realising at the time I was avoiding to look at my shadow, the very same wounds that led me to so many toxic romantic and platonic relationships. Using the excuse of "being too busy" to at least pause and reflect.

It took an unexpected loss in my family to shake me awake and remind me of something I already knew deep down: I am not a tree. I have legs.

And if I don't like where I am, I have permission to move.

So I did. I booked a one-way flight to Europe with all my savings and three months to find what was missing: myself.

Slowly, I began to shed limiting beliefs and surrender to what actually made my heart sing: supporting other people in meaningful ways.

Unexpected doors opened. A scholarship at a prestigious business school in Barcelona. Meeting the love of my life in Toulouse. Finding my calling in London not in marketing, but in helping people.

In 2019 I slowly began working as a wellbeing coach and NLP practitioner. Throughout the years I´ve trained in NLP, EFT, clinical hypnotherapy, yoga, breathwork, sound healing and more building a practice rooted in one simple truth: real transformation starts in the body, not just the mind.

I worked in renowned wellbeing retreat centres in the UK, stablished a beautiful community space in Somerset and then in 2023 I became a mother. And everything changed.

During my third trimester I discovered the power of singing for myself, for my baby, for the 37 hours of labour that followed. Music, movement and song became my medicine.

After my child arrived, I found myself slowly sinking into the dense, heavy pool of postpartum depression. It didn't arrive all at once it crept in quietly, like fog. And when I reached for the singing group that had helped me, it was no longer there.

So I created one.

My instinct that song and community were the right medicine was exactly right. And it taught me something I now carry everyday:

Mama, asking for help is okay. What you're going through may be common but it´s not right. You deserve to have your cup filled.

Moving back to Panama was a decision three years in the making.

For nearly 2 years I mourned the life we were leaving behind: the people, the community, seven years of roots in the British countryside.

It wasn't easy.

But El Valle called us. And once we arrived, we knew this was our new home.

I now live here with my husband, our son, and our three furry companions (hopefully some chickens in our future).

I work with women based all over the world in person and online, in English and Spanish, guiding them through transitions like the ones I've lived myself (check my instagram account where i not only update you on the latest in my life but also reflections of my past).

What can you expect working with me?

Professionalism
Open minded and open hearted
Deep Honesty and Fun (also a funny accent)
Balance between compassion and challenge
Exploring different perspectives without pressure
Flexibility and availability for my most committed clients
Oh and a cheeky greyhound or a cat snoring in the background from time to time

Kind Words from Clients

I don't just hold this space. I've walked it.

And I've trained extensively to hold it well.
