She has also completed a Harvard Business Writing and Journalism course.
Carla’s career path leading to the field of hypnotherapy and holistic wellness was influenced by significant trauma experienced as a teenager. After years of talk therapy and studying clinical psychology, she felt disillusioned by the band-aid approaches. She was dismayed at how stuck she felt. As she sought alternatives, she discovered hypnosis and decided to learn more, even though she was skeptical coming from the social sciences…
She attended the world-renowned Hypnotherapy Training Institute in Corte Madera, California. There, she completed all 6 Levels of Certification to become a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. After just two weeks of training and exposure to the transformative power of hypnotherapy, she experienced more personal transformation, healing, and growth than she had in 6 years of talk therapy.
Synchronistically, after completing her certification, she discovered that her grandfather had used hypnosis as an adjunct to his dentistry practice. Her grandmother was a psychologist and a powerful positive influence in her life and love of learning. Carla’s passion for the mind runs deep in her blood. She describes hypnotherapy as saving her life. (Read more about her story.)

Also, having published several articles on topics related to hypnotherapy and the mind-body connection, she is considered an expert in the field.
