Let's live life to the full ....
Do you long for a more beautiful life?
Do you have a strong sense there's something more to life that you are missing out on?Are you always on the go with no room for pleasure?Or have you been stuck, holding yourself back from showing up and creating the life you would love?Are you ruled by "shoulds", what others expect of you, or are you always putting your family first?Dizzy from spinning around in circles overthinking everything?

Delighted to meet you
Hi, I'm Carina
Former intellectual property lawyer turned coach or "Heart'ist" - I'm here to guide you to connect to your heart and create a new picture for your life. The one you long for.For years I lived in my head, over-analysing, trying to figure things out using my intellect. Confusing myself and wearing myself out looking for answers there. Without realising something far more powerful is always available to tap into beneath the noise of my thinking. The source of our creativity - a complete game changer.I believed I wasn’t “creative” but now I see we are all creative at heart and I'm an advocate of unleashing creativity from the inside out.I specialise in inner conflict resolution and vision realisation. Together we explore how our minds work so that our thinking no longer works against us and we are freed up to experience the beauty of our true potential. The results are life lived from love, not fear. Being creative rather than reactive.Sometimes we just need a helping hand to start allowing our hearts a chance to express in this world. To find courage to silence our inner doubts and insecurities and step into the unknown towards the transformation and creations we desire.Discover what is actually possible (even if it looks impossible right here, right now).
Show Your true colours
BE THE ARTIST OF YOUR LIFE
Imagine a blank canvas. A second chance at creating your dream life.Expressing yourself without fear getting in the way of sharing what's on your heart.Being you, unedited, no second guessing or evaluating how you are doing. Seen for who you truly are, no more pretending.What would you love to create if you gave yourself permission to fully live life rather than being distracted by all the thinking about your life?What might be revealed if you let go of doubts, of perfectionism, of your past experience?
What makes your heart sing?
I have a dream....
Is there a dream that's been in your head for years but you haven't yet managed to live real time?You'd love to get out of your own way and take action."Dreams are necessary to life". Anais Nin.
Finding inner alignment...
Sweet Harmony....
Maybe you have no idea what change to create, you've simply lost touch with yourself after following someone else's dreams for you for so long.You'd love some clarity and inspiration."Life shrinks or expands according to one's courage". Anais Nin.
Uncover your true essence
A case of mistaken identity
I see your inner beauty that may not be visible to you.Who you are beyond your limiting beliefs and self judgment. Beyond this identity you have taken on and lived up to as if all thoughts you have about yourself must be true. They are not.They simply limit your perception of what's possible for you. Create the illusion that there is something wrong that needs fixing or overcoming.Change your focus from your perceived limitations to endless possibility and creativity! All it takes is a willingness to get curious.Embrace your unique essence and start living from a fresh and expansive perspective of you. Feel the difference!
What blocks creativity?
Living in our heads, stuck in our rational minds full of concepts leaves no room for our creative essence to play. Life gets too serious when our intellect is in charge. Hand over to your heart. Create from love!
LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE
“Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Howard Thurman.
PLEASURE SEEKER
It's not about searching on the outside for ways to feel good again. Instead, come home to who you really are and awaken what wants to be created through you, by you. Your joy and beauty legacy from the inside out.
Express Yourself
BLOSSOMING BEAUTY
When you move out of your head and into your heart, magic happens. You bloom!Revealing your heart may take some vulnerability and letting go. Both are essential ingredients in the creative process.When we express from our hearts we step into our power and give others permission to show up authentically too. It's so liberating when we dare to show all of ourselves...Creativity is vital to our aliveness, it's not a luxury. It's healing too. The creative process allows us to know ourselves intimately, and connect more deeply to one another.The key is to discern what lights you up from the inside. Rather than move away from what you don't want, identify your true desires and create your beautiful life!

Some Client Testimonials
"The time I had with you Carina during our intensive is already proving invaluable. You are gifted with a rare quality of deep listening and compassion. I could feel how much you where present all along, helping me to connect the dots and reach a level of understanding that seemed so far out of touch.
I was particularly sensitive to the gentleness of your approach, to the finesse of your sensitivity, and to your stubbornness too, in not giving up anything, even when I was lost in confusion. And you never shy away from showing your humanity. I felt that you were holding my hand, just long enough to be able to free me then. These were the ideal conditions to foster the insights that I have experienced during these two intense and transformative days spent with you. You are an amazing coach and I’m so grateful for your gift." O. Brunet
"Carina, when you challenged this statement I made that the creative stream is delicate - that was a good one! You did catch a mindset there. And you pointing it out feels like a relief, feels freeing… OF COURSE creativity is a strong strong stream, strong enough to trust, even when my thinking creates worry-stories.
I had NOT been aware that I created ‘special needs’ for the creative Spirit, and now I’m loving the thought of its super-resilience. I look forward to putting it to the test.
I loved your enthusiasm for creativity, you were so present and engaged, I felt you as an ally on the ‘creative quest’ and felt really met. Thank you, Carina 💗!" V. Bohlen
See you again soon....
Thank you
I'm looking forward to sharing more with you !Some quotes I love:"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom". Anais Nin."And first we have to survive, and then we have to thrive. And to thrive, to express ourselves, alright, well, here's the rub: we have to know ourselves. What do you love? And if you get close to what you love, who you are is revealed to you, and it expands." Ethan Hawkes."You are a unique flower, with your own irreplaceable scent, your own way of moving in the world, you own uncopyable creative dance in the breeze". Jeff Foster.
