Care for Caregivers

Three month coaching program

It takes one loving adult to change the trajectory of a child’s life. That one can be you, as long as you practice self-care along the way…

Your Chief Healing Officer

You are the CHO of your family and your own life. I am riding shotgun and making sure we get to where we intend to go.

This program is not just about healing. The purpose of this program is to help put you in the position to think, dream, debate and envision what life looks like if you didn’t have to feel stressed out all the time.

You will learn to do this through our three-month program, which is comprised of one on one and small group sessions.

Let’s be honest, parenting and caregiving are exhausting. I have talked to so many caregivers who are at their wits end and are unsure where to turn to make real change for the better.

You’re probably used to functioning on empty, but that’s not a sustainable model – trust me, I know from personal experience. The hardest part of this program is learning to allow help in. But we’ve got this!

You’ll not only learn from my experience and the practical tips and resources to get you to a healing place, but you will leave with a renewed sense of confidence and purpose in your ability to not only care for your family, but to take the BEST care of yourself too. See you in our first session!

Carla’s Top Tips

FOR MAXIMIZING YOUR RESULTS

Time is more precious especially for busy caregivers, so let’s make sure we utilize yours to get the results you desire

EXPERIMENT WITHOUT FEAR

There is no one who is the perfect caregiver. If you’re undecided on which path to take, don’t be afraid to try several paths and then decide which one is the best fit for you and your family. Progress not perfection!

HAVE A CLEAR IDEA OF WHAT THE FUTURE CAN LOOK LIKE

The hard part is deciding what YOU want your life to look like, versus comparing it to others to find your answer.

QUESTION YOUR OLD WAYS OF THINKING

The same way you got here is not the same way your family dynamic will change. Question whether how you’ve thought and acted before will serve you in getting to a healing place.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Along with meeting with Carla, you will connect with a select group of caregivers who are dealing with their own challenges. Our community exists to support each other. Receive it.
