Testimonials

Carrie’s yoga classes are like an extended hug.
— Joanne P.
If I had to describe Carrie in one word, it would be light. Regardless of what practice she is guiding you in, performing on you or educating you about, she sees the good in you and exudes appreciation and love for who you really are. It is impossible not to be completely open and honest with her, as her limitless acceptance of your true self is comforting and reassuring. She is always completely open and honest, especially when there’s a truth you need to hear, but she always speaks the truth in love. Her yoga style is gentle and calming yet subtly pushes you outside of your comfort zone (oftentimes without you even realizing it) in order to stretch and grow your physical and spiritual capacity. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I am so thankful I found her!

I have had the pleasure of receiving Reiki and taking many private yoga sessions, and Restorative Yoga sessions with Carrie. She has helped me prioritize self-care and is always available to gently point me in the right direction if I’m getting off track. I am learning to embrace the art of slowing down. I found Self-Care with Carrie when I needed it the most. Carrie has a calming, non-judgmental presence and it’s a pleasure to share space with her.

I am a Yoga beginner having taken only a handful of classes in the past. I recently decided to add yoga to my self-care routine as a way to relieve tension and stress that has built-up over a long period of time. I also have a diagnosis of depression and a long term goal of managing my mental health without medication. I signed up for a private session with Carrie and although we are quarantined and couldn’t meet in person she patiently walked me through the setup for our virtual class. Carrie’s classes mirror her personality with a fun, warm and loving energy. She also has a soothing, calming voice and is very attentive to when I need to be reminded to breathe or spend extra time on a specific area or movement.

Carrie was able to read my face and evaluate my body movements even through our virtual session. She encouraged me to create an intention to focus on and effortlessly adjusted the flow to meet my specific needs. By the end of our session I felt a completely different energy from when we began. I was relaxed, refreshed and more at peace. I’m so grateful to have Carrie guide me through my yoga practice and I now realize how essential it this to my health and well being.

Carrie has a way of taking care of you that feels natural, honest, and wholehearted. I have taken a few of her offerings and always leave feeling far more grounded afterwards. Being a social worker, I am always in the nurturer’s seat. When I am in Carrie’s classes, even virtually, I am able to sit in the seat of the receiver. It is such a gift to be taken care of as a health care professional. I highly recommend Carrie’s offerings to Health Care workers, who deserve some TLC!

There are so many words to describe Carrie - calming, professional, open, honest, compassionate, empathic, and kind. Her skill level is extraordinary! I started with Carrie for grief therapy. Every time I have a Reiki session with her, I can relax and leave my heavy grief behind for our time together. For several days following my load is a bit lighter. Her Reiki mastery is incredible! It is therapeutic and so relaxing at the same time. She has a gift. I highly recommend Carrie. Make the appointment. I promise you will benefit from it!

Every experience I have had with Carrie has been remarkable.  From the moment I arrive, she takes the utmost care.  I am always comfortable and feel tended.  Her Reiki healing is powerful and restful at the same time- I tend to drift off!  When we are complete, I feel refreshed and filled with sustainable energy.  Not only is Carrie a skilled practitioner, she is professional, friendly and kind.  I highly recommend her!

Interactions with Earth angels are gifts you give yourself. I met Carrie through yoga and instantly appreciated her loving way of guiding you through poses. I experienced Reiki for the first time during savasana after a good hour of yoga with her. Her presence and energy work intensified a connection with a Higher Power that I am forever trying to deepen. Experiencing Carrie and what she has to offer has been a beautiful addition to my spiritual toolkit. She’s like a soul mechanic that I trust. I just show up and surrender my mind, body, and spirit over to her for some work, whether that’s through reiki, yoga, or an essential oil change (pun—totally—intended)..

My husband and I participated in Carrie’s Restorative Yoga and Massage: a Total Relaxation Experience and it was AMAZING 🤩 Carrie and both massage therapists set the stage and then delivered on their promise! Two hours of “get out of my head” was just what I needed to start the new year off feeling relaxed, restored, and rejuvenated 🙌 Do yourself a huge favor and sign up for one of Carrie’s experiences!

A beautiful stairway greets you, welcoming music lures you in, and the most inviting scents swirl around the space. The studio and treatment space is clean, bright but soft, and inviting with beautiful and encouraging art. Carrie briefly interviewed me and invited me to set an intention for the treatment. As a remarkable restorative yoga instructor, she took extra care to make me comfortable: table warmer, blankets, bolster beneath my knees… it was so comfy. Her energy is calming, caring, and compassionate. Carrie used this gorgeous pendulum to read my chakras and choose an essential oil to support any imbalances that revealed themselves. Her touch was warm, gentle, and buzzing. I was so well-cared-for. I left the session feeling relaxed, smooth, buzzy, and clear. I will certainly be a returning client and I recommend Carrie’s Reiki offering to anyone looking for a luxurious, energetic self-care modality.

Carrie has a gift for immediately making her students feel a deep sense of calm. One of the most special things that happens during Carrie’s retreats and classes is that she really emphasizes that the time spent is truly for oneself. Every time that I attend one of Carrie’s events, the rest of my day/week/weekend is better. I feel relaxed, content and like I took some time away from distractions, just for me.

I highly recommend Reiki with Carrie. I have to say I was skeptical at first, but it has been one of the most surreal and calming experiences. I have been dealing with anxiety and muscle tension and it really helped me in my journey. Carrie has such a healing soul and strong energy, which makes the experience even that much better!

Carrie is one of my most favorite yoga teachers ever!  Her classes are a true mind, body, spirit experience. Whether it is a Vinyasa flow, slow flow or restorative class, I always leave with a feeling of relaxation and connection to my inner-self which is so important to me.  At the beginning of class, often times, my mind is so busy with work, family life or my commute that I have a hard time connecting with my inner-self and with my breath.  Carrie has this unique way of making it so easy for me to let go of the outside world and to just be in the present moment in my yoga practice. Perhaps it is her gentle, encouraging and soothing voice that guides you to letting go.  Throughout her classes, Carrie offers ques to connect your breath to the movements as well as ques for adjustments and alignment to ensure you are in the proper position in each pose.  The music she selects in her playlists is spot on and also helps me to connect to my inner-self and to the flow and poses.  During savasana, Carrie often offers essential oils to deepen the relaxation experience. One of my favorite parts of Carrie’s class is at the end when she tells you to let your head settle into your heart, your internal teacher and she gives an inspirational message.  Without knowing what has been going on in my life or that day or how I’m feeling, Carrie’s messages really resonate with me.  Every time I take one of Carrie’s classes, it is always just what I need.  Carrie is awesome and if you ever have a chance to take a class with her you’ll be hooked!

Taking time for Self-Care with Carrie was a relaxing, soothing experience. She makes sure you are safe and comfortable- focusing on the comfort so you can take time to look inward. I highly recommend the experience!

Reiki with Carrie is an amazing experience. It’s an hour of “receiving” that seems like 5 minutes and eternity at the same time. Carrie sets the scene with a heated massage table, warm blankets, soft lights, sweet music and aromatic scents. Then, she inquires on an intent, and invites you to breathe into your intention. She maps your chakras then sets about reading your energy paths.
