About Carla
After earning my Business Administration degree from the University of Victoria, I've spent over 30 years working in health and wellness, driven by a passion to help people become the healthiest version of themselves.
I've walked my own path through a battle with an invisible illness, building a realistic "new normal" while managing lingering symptoms. That experience taught me how to build a healthy, active life rooted in gratitude, and it's why I'm so passionate about helping others find their own new normal.
Today, I'm a certified Health and Life Coach. I support people in developing self-trust, resilience, and purposeful habits so they can live with more intention.
If any of this resonates with you, I'd love to help you find your own new normal.
How Coaching Works
My coaching complements healthcare and therapy. It is not medical or psychological treatment. Instead, think of it as a partnership: one focused on growth, self-awareness, and building the life you actually want.
Together, we'll work on the things that move the needle: trusting yourself, building resilience, and creating habits that fit the life you're working toward.
Not sure if coaching is the right fit? Let's talk it through together.
Who I Work With
My coaching is for anyone ready to grow: any age, any background, any stage of life. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients and offer affirming coaching for people of all identities and backgrounds.
If you're ready to show up for yourself, there's a place for you here.
Wherever you're starting from, you don't have to walk it alone.
What My Clients Are Saying
“Before coaching with Carla, I struggled with having the energy and motivation to get started on big tasks, even though I knew these actions would make a positive impact; I just felt too overwhelmed to get started.
Then Carla taught me that I needed to release the overwhelming pressure I was placing on myself to do everything for everyone, all at once. I needed to give myself the grace and permission to completely ignore certain tasks and focus on taking small, reasonable steps on the truly important things.
The three most significant results I’ve experienced from coaching with Carla are a feeling of relief from the pressure I place on myself, the ability to celebrate the small wins and enjoy the feeling of no longer being stuck in a rut!
What I loved most about coaching with Carla is her natural ability to make me feel understood and supported without judgement. I feel like I’m truly being listened to and that I have someone who really cares and wants to help me be a better version of myself. Thank you, Carla!”

“Working with Coach Carla has changed my life. Drastically, yet in a manageable capacity, and with such subtle gentleness, consistency and warmth. She helped me identify what I wanted to change about myself and gently encouraged me to take small, meaningful steps in the direction I wanted to go. Our first set of sessions took place over the end of winter and into spring and I was astonished at the new woman that emerged at the end of 12 weeks. I literally felt lighter in my body. My family noticed that I was showing up differently - calmer and more at ease; I was finally able to breathe. The small steps add up and create big changes. She is so welcoming, compassionate, knowledgeable, encouraging and hilarious! If you have a goal you need help achieving or you’re just feeling stuck and not sure why, or you just need someone to give you a nudge to get you moving again, Coach Carla is your best bet. I will be forever grateful to her for her time with me and won’t ever forget how she changed my life for the better. 🥰”
