I am a multi passionate experienced woman in her mid 50's, who stands for women's right to live an unapologetically deeply nourished, and nurtured courageous life of self respect, abundant health and passion.
I coach and mentor women to focus on mindset shifts together with mind-body movement and connections to awaken their inner power.
People ask me to help them to get their lives back on track, to get them back in shape, help them lose weight. To get them disciplined so they can stick to their decisions. So that is basically what I do,
hold you accountable to YOU.
Consistency, discipline, balance and self respect is what my clients tell me they most struggle with. You see, we must first respect our decisions and commitments and all else falls in place. The problem is though, while so many women beat up on themselves for not being enough at the same time, they think they are invincible and everyone must come first and maybe they will fit themselves in after, somewhere, someday...
when is that someday I ask?

I create inspiring coaching experiences that combine deep mind-body Pilates practice & philosophy with creative resilience coaching strategies to cultivate values of self-compassion and self-integrity so you can get out of your way and step into your consistent FLOW.
I call this living at your CORE, when your body & Mind is beautifully synchronized and your heart & soul in coherent and calm.
Then, the feeling of confidence and courage is unparalleled.
Why I am so passionate about supporting you?
As a Pilates & Personal Trainer, Life Coach, Artist, and Entrepreneur, what Marie Forleo refers to as a 'multi-passionate woman', I can offer a unique blend of training, skills and decades of experience to support you with a patient ear, open mind, bespoke coaching tools, compassion, respect and accountability.
I believe that no matter what we face, we can achieve whatever we truly desire and work for. I have had my share of horrors, personal traumas, business, property and financial devastation, relationship breakdowns, betrayals, and many more but I have come through it all and know what I rely on and know that it works for those I have worked with too. Don't get me wrong, I have my days but I have gone through it too so that's why I am confident that I can support and coach you to being your best YOU.
My work is grounded in my Living at Your CORE framework; the CORE activators being;
Centred & Congruent Open & Optimized Released & Resourceful deeply Engaged.
When these CORE activators are consistently integrated we fine-tune our inner voice with intention and congruence in all we do. So whether you are seeking a life of optimum health & flexibility, confidence & adaptability, stamina, conviction and commitment; at home, at work and at play, you have a system to activate re-centre you.
I believe in laughter (lots of it), being well informed, honest communication, focus,
good solid honest hard work and total dedication, I also know that anything worth having or getting requires all of these in addition to, a good dose of self-belief, self-compassion, and titanium-plated self-integrity.
"Vulnerability is the truest measure of courage."

Maybe by now anxiety and uncertainty have all sent your stress hormones through the roof, and it is a vicious cycle. These hormones have you exhausted, depleted even in chronic pains with serious tension. Feeling emotionally drained and mentally & physically paralyzed. There is a scientific reason you are feeling this way, and you are not alone. In fact, this is totally normal.
All the best intentions are there. Scheduled? Posted? Alarmed? Affirmed? But still, you just can't progress, am I right?
Trust me, many many women are struggling with these same issues.
To make the shift, you will need to resolve these and do things that release the happy hormones and neurotransmitters instead. It all comes down to being inspired, fit, and healthy and feeling calm and courageous. This is why my approach is Body Mind connection coupled with 'Heart & Soul Soothing' (coherence). It's about releasing the dis-ease and finding ease. about learning to find body & soul pleasure so your body sends the message of please to your mind and you can dissolve and dismantle the pain and anxiety to process ease, metabolize and regulate your state. This is not a process you just get up and do on your own, it is learned. Imagine being lost in the wilderness and no map or even a torch to see the map. Then tie your feet to a fallen rotting tree... it's a nightmare! Trust me, I know that. So let me coach you,let me help you nurture all aspects of you. Then you can confidently commit, stay consistent and keep connected to all aspects of your family, social, and professional life with total ease and pleasure.
"The relationship we have with ourselves is the relationship we have with others."
Rev. Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith

My father once corrected me, I repeated that saying, "to those who much is given, much is expected."
and he said, "Oh no Carla, 'to those who much is given, much is REQUIRED."
I learned to look at challenges as opportunities. and this is my take when coaching. Learning to re-frame situations. Each of us is meticulously crafted one-of-a-kind work of art, each with our unique purpose to make up part of our wider world. Each with our own stories, special abilities uniquely able to live in that fullness. When we are doing so, it is when we feel exhilarated, unstoppable and at the same time totally resolved and calm in ourselves.
I am here to offer my support.
To help build that strong foundation, physical and emotional, Body, Mind, Heart & Soul coherence and strength as with a strong foundation and sturdy pillars to support us we will stay standing when we are confronted by the storms disasters of life.
I will support you while you develop unwavering self-integrity, to face every situation with unshakeable confidence, consistent action, and deep congruence. While I hold you accountable to YOU.
“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. To achieve the highest accomplishments within the scope of our capabilities in all walks of life we must constantly strive to acquire strong, healthy bodies and develop our minds to the limit of our ability.”
Joseph H Pilates, Return to Life through Contrology, 1945
Statement:
Having trained and worked with individuals between the ages of 8 to 98, of every level of fitness, from healthy, rehabilitative, pre & post-operative clients to Olympic athletes, I have found Mr. Pilates' statement above holds true for all. As a Mover, I bring all my life’s Health & Fitness experiences and deep passion for Pilates, whole mind, body, and spiritual practice to my coaching.
Disciplined consistency and a penchant for action for one's whole person is the foundation of sweet success.
As a Visual and Conceptual artist, years of past experiences creating work for exhibitions around the world, as well as my numerous contracts in print and digital media; radio, television, marketing, hospitality, and tourism, I am acutely observant to client’s needs. I am innately sensitive to the significance and unique beauty of each client’s presence, thought-process, body language, and movement patterns. I am genuine, honest, motivating, and open in my coaching style. It so happens that those are the attributes that suit some people best and why I can motivate you to achieve! But I am not for everyone. If you want a 'yes-woman', ego-stoking, BS artist, then sadly, I'm not the woman for you.
