​To Live & Mother from Center

​First, we have to be in our bodies and know how to access our own wisdom. 
Then, we must remember how to trust our bodies and our wisdom.

​But did anyone ever show you how?
How to feel at home in your body and access the medicine within you?

Ready for a RESET?  Join me for a rejuvenating Autumn Ayurvedic 10-Day Cleanse.
 
The pace of modern life sets up patterns that feed the dis-ease process. If you’ve been navigating life transitions, seasonal cleansing offers a time-tested way to support and improve digestion, release excess toxins, bring unconscious patterns to light, and restore body, mind, and hormones to rhythm.

​We begin October 17th!  Find out more HERE.

"How might your life have been different if there had been a place for you?  A place for you to go...a place of women, to help you learn the ways of woman...a place where you were nurtured from an ancient flow sustaining you and steadying you as you sought to become yourself.  A place of women to help you find and trust the ancient flow already there within yourself ...waiting to be released. 
                     How might your life be different?"
                                                                                                     --Judith Duerk, author of  "Circle of Stones"

Welcome!  ​I'm Karla.
Mothering is some of the hardest, most sacred, beautiful, complex and life-giving work I’ve ever done.   

Motherhood has been a portal for deep growth and transformation!
It's been an invitation to acknowledge both the light and dark we hold within us. 
It's called me to know and understand the capacity we have to heal our lineage in both directions, past and future. 


Through my journey as a mother, both by birth and adoption, and in supporting women at all stages of life, I’ve come to understand that we aren’t meant to mother alone. Walking alongside my own mother through her final years with Alzheimer’s further deepened my commitment to this belief.


The well-being of mothers is vital. When mothers thrive, so can their children, families, and communities.​

As an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, Yoga Teacher, MotherCircle Facilitator and Spiritual Guide, I help mothers navigate the deep joys, intense transitions, and complexities of growing and being family while tending to their own thresholds of physical, spiritual, and emotional transformation. We do this together through embodiment, feminine wisdom, Ayurvedic self-care and community support.

I’m grateful to have learned from many teachers, guides, nature, and life itself. Through Discover Your Center, I aim to share holistic practices that sustain women throughout life and can be passed on to future generations. Ultimately, I believe in the profound wisdom within each of us and strive to create spaces where you can  remember and reconnect with your own inner knowing.


​I also wholeheartedly believe that when we dissolve the layers of separation within ourselves, we can create authentic spaces of connection and healing with and for others from our own connection.  This is generational work.   It's slow and steady and requires presence and practice (imperfectly).  This is best done with accurate witnessing, deep compassion, support within a community, and often a guide, teacher or mentor.  

Many clients have referred to me as a "facilitator of possibilities".  I'll hold your vision with you.



​​
​To hold a space of healing, presence ​
and safety for our kids​ and our communities
the deep healing and connection starts with us and within us​.


Let's do this together through connection, community and wisdom.  -- Karla
​


“Karla is the real deal! She has a wealth of knowledge about healing the body, mind and soul and has a wonderful way of being 100% supportive and non judgemental, while gently challenging me to make slow and steady shifts to be more grounded in my body, and to create/maintain habits that are nurturing and life-giving.  She’s curious, grounded, relatable, and so very kind as she helps her clients find what feels right for them.   I’ve been able to create sustainable practices that have really helped me to step into my authentic self, thrive during a global pandemic (!!) and to become a much more grounded and responsive mother and partner." 
                                                                          ​--Jessica G, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Adoptive parent

Working with Karla was truly an investment in health and wellness.   Her program was grounding, practical, and doable, and her presence is kind and supportive. Karla doesn't just teach; she radiates all that she shares in her program -- she lives this.     Working with Karla helped me integrate what I know about self-care in a way that also allowed me to drop the "should's"and tap into my body's wisdom about what I need to thrive.
Now we're in a pandemic, and it's stressful, but I'm using everything I learned in Root, Rise, Thrive daily to stay afloat, manage multiple roles and
responsibilities, and lean into the slower pace to find joy in a difficult time.
