Carla inspires her clients and audiences with stories and insights that encourage them to lean into their strengths and celebrate their individuality. She offers tools and actionable steps to help participants unlock the lives they were designed to lead.

 

Before stepping into life coaching, Carla spent over two decades sharpening her intuition and strategic listening ability in the marketing research industry. She led national qualitative teams and personally facilitated thousands of focus groups, brainstorming sessions, and interviews—uncovering powerful insights that shaped major brand strategies.

​

Carla’s journey took a pivotal turn one Saturday when, feeling the weight of working on a beautiful weekend, she asked herself, “Why am I the only one working on a Saturday?” The Lord reminded her she had a choice about how she spent her time and that true identity in Christ mattered far more than worldly accomplishments.

​

Determined to create a well-rounded and purposeful life, Carla earned her coaching degree from CoachU in 2009. Today, she challenges her clients and audiences with a keen intuition that sparks powerful “Aha” moments—propelling them toward the lives they crave.

​

When she isn’t coaching or speaking, Carla enjoys unwinding to ‘70s R&B, playing fetch with her Labradoodles (Riley and Bogey), volunteering at church, and exploring new destinations with her husband, Al Ray.
