Testimonials

  • I want to acknowledge Carla and express how extraordinary she is as a facilitator and a leader. She brings a rare and powerful combination of sharp intelligence, deep instinct and a life force that fills the room.

    Her energy is contagious and such that it invites others to show up more fully and more boldly creating space for deeper personal growth and expansion.

    What I respect most about Carla is her ability to bridge wisdom traditions with cutting edge facilitation and leadership approaches. She creates spaces that are alive, thoughtful and transformative.

    It is a gift to witness Carla and her leadership in action.

    – Rabia Mashkoor, Leadership Coach, Vancouver Coastal Health

  • Carla's deep connectedness to life and beauty speak through her presence. Whether she's holding space, delivering an idea, or meeting you in relationship; it's impossible to miss the clear invitation to connect more deeply with your own life and beauty. A fierce activist and compassionate facilitator, Carla will help you find new levels of appreciation for the depth of your humanity.

    – James Boutin, Conflict Educator

  • Carla embodies what it means to soulfully listen to someone - even the space between their words - and reflect back what is called forth in a way that allows one to feel deeply held, nurtured, heard, and celebrated all at once. Through her witnessing and space holding shines her knowledge, wisdom, humility, and honesty, which allows for deep, authentic connection.

    She is effervescent, and her presence is infectious (a side effect of which is feeling total permission to be exactly as you are in the moment).

    As a facilitator, Carla brings curiosity, openness, and courage to traverse any terrain, which creates an environment for others to lay down fear and open to healing. Whether she is holding space for relationship or interpersonal dynamics, or leading groups exploring conscious diversity, she is not afraid to sit in challenging spaces and bring light to the shadow in a way that infuses love and brings levity to what could otherwise feel daunting. And she does all of this in a way that is fun, alive, and bursting with creativity.

    It is an honor to collaborate with Carla.

    – Hannah Fowler, Director of Education at Center for Conscious Living and Dying (CCLD)

  • Carla has qualities that, combined, bring levity and depth at the same time. Something rare to see. A deep listening and analytical capacity that allows her to go to the root of the processes and a kind presence that makes you feel that nothing is so difficult. That makes the work together become efficient at higher levels than normal.

    – Mariana González Roberts, Cultural manager and leadership mentor

  • Sitting with Carla, whether as an individual, couple or workshop sessions, is quite an experience. Her innate wisdom, compassion, and loving kindness creates a safe and inviting space to open your heart and with gentle awareness, observe the emergence of your true genuine self. The joy and ease she brings to her work is very refreshing and unique.
