  • JOIN THE 21-DAY BREATHWORK CHALLENGE STARTING ON MONDAY!

    Whether you never express the emotion of anger or you are angry all the time, this is a powerful emotion that is sending you a signal as to what your needs are.

    This is the final episode of this season. Carla is chatting about the very misunderstood power of anger and explains how breathwork helps us process it instead of suppressing it.

    She uses real examples from clients to look at the different ways people respond to anger and why those responses matter for our health and our relationships.

    You will learn how childhood experiences and gender norms shape the way we express or repress anger, and why acknowledging anger is essential for setting boundaries, identifying needs, and preventing long-term emotional and physical consequences.

    This is the final episode of this season, so please reach out and share your thoughts with Carla on whether you would like another season and the topics to discuss.

  • JOIN THE OCEAN HEALING COMMUNITY AT FOUNDER PRICING

    Carla is back with part 2, speaking about all things emotions.

    If you’ve ever wondered why sitting with emotions like sadness, anger, or grief feels so uncomfortable, Carla is going to explain it all in today’s episode and share how slowing down and breathwork can transform the way we heal.

    Carla shares what she’s learning through her Compassionate Inquiry training with Gabor MatĂ©, alongside her own work in somatics and therapy.

    She explains why so many of us skip past feelings, rush to soothe, or get stuck in our heads rather than staying with what’s present.

    She also talks about implicit memory and highlights the role of the “super ego” in holding us back from healing.

    If this episode resonates with you and you’re ready to stop being so in your head and start connecting inwards, Carla’s new community is launching on the 8th of September with a 21-Day Breathwork Challenge! This is a chance to reconnect with your body, release emotional energy, and find more clarity and calm in daily life.

  • SIGN UP TO THE WAITLIST FOR CARLA’S NEW OCEAN HEALING COMMUNITY

    This week, Carla’s talking emotions- why they’re at the root of everything, how most of us either avoid them or get overwhelmed by them, and what can actually help.

    She shares what she’s learned from her Compassionate Inquiry training with Gabor MatĂ©, plus years of breathwork and body-based work.

    There’s chat about how childhood shapes us, why we keep falling into the same patterns, and how slowing down to breathe (literally three minutes a day) can change your life.

    So whether you’re a numb potato or highly anxious, this episode will help you to stop thinking and doing so much and start to tap into living and being.

  • If you’ve ever felt waves of emotion in response to a situation with no obvious explanation, it might be linked to unprocessed trauma.

    Carla is back and chatting today about the work she does with her clients. She shares a client’s story about how the trauma of being separated from her parents at birth showed up in her life, even though she believed it hadn’t affected her.

    Carla explains how somatics, breathwork, and compassionate inquiry help us access the trauma our minds can’t reach.

  • You can tell how someone is feeling just based on their body language, no words needed.

    Carla is going into the power of body language in this week’s episode and what your posture, gaze, and tone are revealing about what’s going on inside (and how to read these signs in others), particularly when it comes to dating!

    Your body is SO powerful. It will sense things before your mind does, so it’s time to learn to surrender and trust it.

    If you want to be more open when it comes to dating or see how your date feels about you, this episode will give you some of the signs to let you know whether they’re into you or not!

  • Trigger Warning: This episode touches on themes of suicide and grief.

    If this topic feels too heavy right now, skip this one or come back when you're ready. If you’re finding things difficult, you are not alone, please reach out for support. ❀

    Carla is back with a reflective solo episode from her time in Portugal and what she’s learned since being here.

    She reflects on a recent mushroom trip taken on her dad’s birthday, which unexpectedly cracked open her unprocessed grief around the suicide of her cousin Paul.

    She talks through how trauma often lives deep in the body, the importance of creating space to feel your feelings, and how grief shows up in the most unexpected ways, even when you're convinced you’ve already dealt with it.

    Finally, she chats about what learning something new, like surfing, has been teaching her and what it can teach you too.

    Hopefully, this episode will make you feel less alone when it comes to healing, as even Carla is still working through things just like us all!

    In this episode, she shares the top five most common forms of resistance that come up for her clients during the healing process.

    She unpacks how we try to rush the journey, how we demonise emotions like anger, how our body’s reactions reveal our core beliefs, and why rest is a form of activism.

    She answers some listener questions on the best way to meet someone, how to give yourself space and time to grieve, and allowing yourself to truly feel your emotions.

    She chats about why so many women struggle to process anger and the different ways it can manifest.

    And finally, she shares how your body already holds all the answers. You don’t need more yoga classes, ice baths, or saunas. You just need to sit with yourself and rest, as this is such a crucial part of healing.

  • It can be hard to invest money into a retreat when your mind is telling you, ‘I could go on a holiday for this money,’ ‘Is it really worth it?’ etc
 but Carla wanted to share her experience at the retreat she attended in Wales over the weekend and the changes she’ll be making in her life as a result of this.

    Carla FINALLY had a much-needed cry, had time to process the grief that was being held in her body, and gave herself space to reflect on her career, relationships, and how she was living day to day.

    So if you’ve been wondering what really happens on a retreat and if it’s really worth it, give this episode a listen.

    In this week’s episode, Carla discusses a topic so many of us can relate to—dating emotionally unavailable men. Sharing her own experiences, she looks at why we keep finding ourselves in these patterns, how our core beliefs shape the relationships we choose, and what’s really going on underneath all of this.

    Carla also chats about the resistance that comes with doing inner work, what she’s learned from over a decade of healing, and the connection between our inner child and the choices we make as adults.

    She shares how humour can really help you to heal and why unprocessed trauma often pushes us to stay busy instead of allowing ourselves to just be.
