A Message from Carolyn

My passion for transformational healing has driven my work for over two decades. Through my practice of Sacred Sound Healing and Feng Shui Consulting, I have been dedicated to helping individuals expand their consciousness, open gateways to their own brilliance, and create sacred spaces where their unique soul can dance freely.

With a heart-centered, nurturing, and inspiring approach, I offer powerful immersive and transformative ceremonies, workshops, and training. These interactive and meaningful experiences help you release energy blocks, elevate your consciousness, and cultivate more harmonious spaces within and around you where you can thrive.

My ultimate goal is to support you in connecting, awakening, expanding, and transforming, so you can share and radiate your most light-filled self. I am deeply committed to walking alongside you on this transformative journey, and I look forward to helping you unlock your full potential.

We offer a range of integrative healing and transformational services such as sound healing, feng shui, energy healing, mindfulness, and vibrational home transformation that help restore balance and harmony to your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Our mission is to guide individuals to tap into their inner wisdom and unique brilliance and create a life of purpose, joy, and fulfillment.

Our approach emphasizes a holistic view of health and wellness that considers the connection between the mind, body, heart, spirit, and soul, as well as the interconnectedness between individuals and their environments.

Carolyn, I am still flying and feel the love that surrounded us during our session. I have so many people that need to experience your work. It’s ancient and new all at the same time. Thank you for shining your light. You are turning on inner lights and this will be felt throughout the world.
