Carla's Story & Philosophy

My journey after a breast cancer diagnosis in 2015 started like all people given a cancer diagnosis: fear, disbelief, devastation. I lived a healthy lifestyle. I had been vegan for many years. I ate all organic. I drank green juice. I was physically active. I did it all right. Or so I thought. After doing much research I decided on alternative treatments. Conventional doctors continued to try and influence me with fear and when I chose my course of treatment they refused to see me as a patient. It was a rude awakening to what is happening in the world today. I came to realize that I was the only one that was actually looking out for me. People called me a pioneer. People called me brave. I didn’t feel brave. I felt fear, but continued on my path anyway. 

My journey took me to integrative doctors, healers, naturopaths, holistic practitioners. I realized I was going to have to build my own health care team, and I did. I had (and still do) a great team. When it comes to health and wellness there is no one stop shop. 

The greatest gift from this experience was the love and support I received from my family and friends. This was my strength. The universe was taking care of me. I realized that what I was missing from my so-called healthy lifestyle was the spiritual aspect of it. My cancer journey taught me gratitude. It taught me love. It taught me compassion. After coming out clean on the other side I realized I have to share what I know with others. I was asked by doctors, friends and other professionals reached out to me and asked me if I would speak to their patients, clients, acquaintances about different aspects of my treatment. Inspired by helping others, I decided to get my degree from the renowned Institute for Integrative Nutrition so I could add holistic health coaching to my practice. 

Mind, Body and Soul. There must be a balance and all three areas must be addressed. My health coaching practice will exemplify the principals of a Pilates lifestyle. Exercise, nutrition and well-being are paramount in my practice. All programs are individualized, whether it be health coaching, Pilates or essential oils.
