Hi, I'm Carla
 
COACH +  AUTHOR

I see you fearing your future and what's ahead of you. Not quite sure where to start or where to go. 

​

I see you feeling overwhelmed with it all. Resentful and tired with it all even.

​

I see you not wanting to repeat your patterns over and over again, tired of getting the same disappointing result.

​

I see you thinking "What's wrong with me? Why can't I have a relationship/life like she does? I feel like a failure"

​

I see you struggling to not fall into feelings of self-doubt, frustration, not enough-ness and loneliness.

​

I see you trying to keep your light, spark and hope because you know you deserve better than what you've left behind in your past and what is currently showing up for you.

​

I see you tip toe'ing around fully owning your full self-expression and all your beauty, talent and potential.

​

I see you because this was once me.

This doesn't have to be your path.

 

Your patterns can be changed.

​

What you attract into your life can be completely up-levelled.

​

What you desire to have is as possible a result for you as it is for anyone else you see currently enjoying it.

​

Love and life can change overnight for you on a dial. I've seen it happen over and over again in my clients lives.

 

After just one session my clients walk away completely enlightened about why they chose the partners they did and the deep soul-reaching reason about why their marriage ended. It's never just what you think.

​

 The process to move my clients forward in their life, more empowered and better for their marriage having ended, can be easeful and it is absolute magic watching it unfold for them.

Hi there, I'm Carla.

​

I've worked with and coached women for the last six years helping them to rebuild and rediscover themselves and up level what they attract into their life after a marriage or long term relationship has ended. 

​

I am the author behind two of Australia's most loved books on the topic of divorce (you can read more about them here).

​

I am incredibly passionate about this subject and supporting clients through this season.

​

I work with my clients before they leave their relationship,  supporting them to leave their marriage with clarity and confidence, free of guilt and without fear of the future. Sometimes I actually help my clients save their marriage. And I work with women who have already left their marriages and are needing emotional support to move through their divorce and evolve into their next version of self.

​

Together we work to change my clients patterns, beliefs and emotions to completely change the trajectory of their life going forward.

​

It's my mission to see women fully owning all of their potential and uniqueness after their marriage ends. And to have a life, a next relationship and a lifestyle that reflects all of their beauty and magic.

​

Whether you are 35 or 55, my belief is that life is too short to not be living at our fullest expression and as our best version of self, feeling seen and appreciated for everything that we are and have to give in life and love.

I want you to know that I once was a totally different person than I am today. Maybe that's hard for you to imagine but it's true!

 

I was a stay at home Mum, newly separated, realising that I had to return back to the paid workforce to support myself, knowing that everything solid and certain that was in my life now was about to change and not knowing how life was going to look for me.

 

I'd never had to fully support myself financially (and do it successfully). I’d never had a bill solely in my own name. I’d never lived on my own. I was low in confidence, low in self-belief, I'd forgotten how it felt to be treated like a woman who was loved and valued.

​

I had not been single for nearly two decades!

​

I veer'ed between feeling confident and excited about my new life in one breathe to having overwhelming moments of self-doubt in the next.

​

And then there was dating…! I’d been with the same man since I was twenty one. And here I was at thirty four ~ not even sure who I was as a woman now and entering the online dating world. Twelve years with the one person. Twelve years that had left me feeling down on myself, not good enough, hesitant to trust and open myself up to someone again…it made me feel incredibly unsure about putting myself back out there. 

​

All I knew was that I had a burning desire to attract in something much different for my future than I'd lived with in my past

​

And I knew I had to be a different kind of woman than the woman I used to be for that to show up for me in life. I knew I needed to change from the inside out. But I wasn't sure how.

​

I did what many women do after getting a divorce!

 

I updated my wardrobe and I put myself on a health kick. After having two young children, I have to say that working out and eating beautifully  was necessary and it was amazing! Physically I did transform.

 

But what I continued to attract into my life changed only to a certain degree because I was still the same girl, believing the same things about herself and fearing the same things. Similar shades of the same kind of person in my life love kept showing up, the same dynamics in my career, the same outcomes financially.

​

And so started the process of doing the real work on myself to truly understand why this was happening. To begin the process of healing and clearing my pattens and blocks for good.

​

Over the last five years I have up-levelled in all areas of my life.

 

Financially.

The men I attract.

My friendship circle.

My lifestyle.

In my career.

Most importantly, in myself.

​

It has been the most profound journey of undoing and growing to become who I am today, with the life that I have, as a 39 year old woman.
