but it wasn’t always this way. Her childhood was spent dodging pots, pans, and fists while navigating the war zones of sexual, emotional and psychological abuse. Through her adult years, she found herself riddled with the guilt, shame, bitterness and resentment that left her struggling with a never ending saga of negative thoughts and emotions. The enemy within was relentless and the dark seeds of unworthiness were firmly planted.
Carmelle thought that this was to be her lot if life until a magical series of events led her to a place of pure joy and freedom. Through this discovery, Carmelle has travelled the globe studying with Shamans in the Amazon, Gurus in India, Monks in Nepal and has been named a Nagual Shaman in the lineage of don Miguel Ruiz.
Her connection to and alignment with these powerful traditions, teachings and healing modalities enable Carmelle to re-connect, help and empower men and women from all walks of life that are stuck in the same old habits and patterns, shift from overwhelmed, unfulfilled and stressed out to fearless and free
