“I connected with Carisa as I was, for the first time in my life, without a plan or direction. This had me feeling lost and without a future to look forward to.
Carisa was a true game changer providing guidance and support without judgement. She was able to open me up to approaching my future direction with a simple, one small decision at a time as opposed to a binding, grand vision. She also made me see that with each small decision and the actions to support it, I was making my way forward. This was empowering and got me off binging Netflix every night to escape to once again being excited to be me.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.” Carisa is that someone — I’m absolutely grateful for her encouragement through this journey.
"I began coaching with Carisa as a way to work with someone who would hold me accountable for the health goals I had at the time. Over the months of our coaching relationship, I realized so many other aspects of my life were impacting my ability to stay true to my health goals. While the foundation of our coaching relationship still focuses on health, I believe the benefits have rippled to becoming a better version of myself, being a better mom, a better friend, and so much more.. and of course being a healthier me! Carisa shows up to each session ready to listen. She asks amazing questions, focuses on encouragement rather than judgement, is supportive and also helps light that inner desire to achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself.”

“The journey to a healthy me has been ongoing my whole life. I have started and stopped so many times that I have lost track. Setting goals for a specific target, then letting them go when I either get there and the motivation is gone, or I give up. Working with Carisa has helped me to re-imagine what healthy looks like. It is at the core of my efforts to find a healthy physical and mental best version of me. My efforts and my attitude are not always great, but the way Carisa frames things allow me to see both sides of the coin and my attitude and my efforts are improved. I’m still taking baby steps on the journey some days, but they are steps and I know my coach is right behind me cheering me on.”
