WHAT CARISSA’S CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Counselling and coaching testimonials.
My first session with Carissa was quick to highlight the difference in what my analytical mind desired versus my true essence. Carissa’s words “the feelings I want are actually the opposite to the way I am living” stuck to me like a thorn. The subconscious is such an enormous, magnetic, driving part of us, and I look forward to undoing the conditioning that is contracting my expansion.
It’s a collaborative, soul seeking process, and I’m so excited for the progress. I am already making subtle changes that are enhancing my quality of life.
Natalia Mimo, Entrepreneur & Holistic Life Coach
I booked in a session with Carissa to dive deeper into a mindset pattern I had noticed in my business. As a hypnotherapist myself, I'm really picky about who I trust with my subconscious but Carissa is the real deal. Her love and kindness shines through to help you feel heard and supported.
Since my session with Carissa, things have flowed with much more ease in my business. I'm grateful to have her as someone I can turn to in the future.
Rachel Crethar, Clinical Hypnotherapist
During a personal crisis, I needed someone to hold space for me, and carissa was able to actively help me process my emotions.
Such a beautiful soul, her kind nature made me feel so comfortable and supported straight away.
She identified my limiting beliefs that were blocking my true potential in relationship and life and helped me start coming back into my power.
Providing me with the tools, rituals and compassionate self-talk, I’ve started embodying new habits to lead from my soul and detach from my mind's control.
Samantha Elaine, Nutritionist
Life will always have its challenges and I’ve always believed that it’s how you manage the challenge, not what the challenge actually is - as a principle.
I could feel small challenges overwhelming me and putting me in a state of fight or flight, rather than calm and managed. I had a gut feeling that things could be easier but didn’t know how to get there in my mind. Working with Carissa offered a place for me to be real, own my challenges and face them with trust and confidence; trust in feeling safe with any outcome and confident in my own decision and discernment.
Ultimately coming home to self and creating space for whatever came up, and knowing my community also had similar challenges brought peace and calm. It’s now a lifestyle for me to come home to self with a deep sense of comfort and ease.
Lucy Beaumont, Founder & Director of Scout Pilates
Since starting my own business about 2 years ago, a lot had come up for me with who I was wanting to show up as and my expectations on my growth as a woman.
Carissa really listened to and tuned into what’s underneath, without letting me surface over it. She helped me to dive into some old beliefs, patterns and systems that were still sitting deep in under a lot of what I thought had been healed. I learned we are never fully healed, it’s an ongoing journey and after understanding and accepting this I felt confident to enter this with Carissa.
Through refreshing my values to reframing thoughts, our sessions were spent laughing through the tears, and relieving negative self talk and doubt. I’ve learnt to listen in to my needs and stay in my lane - working on the internal rather than the external.
Carissa keeps things real while allowing room and space to hear what comes up in those quiet moments. I highly recommend Carissa for anyone seeking a patient, supportive and incredibly committed coach.
Camilla Ingall, Interior Stylist & Founder of Unfolded
Carissa cut to the core of one of my long-held belief patterns around people pleasing, and was able to reframe it in a way that has triggered many lightbulb moments of awareness ever since. I have noticed that I am becoming more fearlessly transparent and authentic in the way I show up for my clients and work, which has led to more traction within my business. She has also been helping me get super niche and refined in the services I offer, which has naturally brought more confidence in the work I am doing in the world.
She has a gift of bringing to the surface thoughts and ideas that I have often struggled to articulate myself. Having a session with Carissa is like having a mirror held up in front of you as she clearly reflects back the things you may not see so clearly within yourself. Guidance is always offered in a way that is empowered, simple and inspiring. She holds a safe, non-judgemental space where you can feel free to dive into yourself, how deep you go is up to you!
Jenna Carroll, Human Design Analyst & Naturopath
I was feeling stuck, unmotivated and lacking the spark in my business. Carissa is a powerful practitioner and she really helped me to reframe everything I was facing and reconnect with that spark again. Even in just a 60 minute call, I left feeling more alive and lit up than before. I feel so excited with this newfound programming and awareness to go forward in life and in my business and watch the wonderful transformations unfold. It feels like things have begun to change already!
I felt I was in a place where I had done a lot of 'the work' but it felt heavy, I didn't really understand how it worked and I didn't see really lasting changes so I was a bit miffed with it.
Living my true essence today is about making decisions and choices that best reflect me and my desires - being able to say no without feeling bad, trusting my intuition and living my life authentically to bring the experiences, relationships and opportunities that best alight with me in.

Working with Carissa helped and guided me to places I didn’t know existed inside myself. I can’t explain or put into words how amazing the sessions are because people have to experience it themselves. Carissa does the ground work with me but also there’s ground breaking realisations. As a young woman and a fashion business owner, it’s easy to fall into people pleasing and the energy of proving myself, but in our sessions connecting with my inner child, slowing down, meditating and our productive conversations made me realise how I was abandoning myself.
6 months ago I was burnt out and with the work we’ve done together, I’ve become a better person at work and in my relationships from the internal shifts that made me a better person in every day life situations. I have so much more grace and compassion, less control, more understanding. Finding answers in myself I didn’t know were there, Carissa guided me to connect to my inner knowing. Values and beliefs are the vessel but what stood out to me, is connecting to a part of self that I didn’t know existed. Ignoring pieces inside of me that I’ve forgotten out of protection. I can experience life in a richer, fulfilled way. I’ve done alternative therapy and seen psychologists, however it’s been clinical, and negative, versus looking at hard things with Carissa that I’ve had to take accountability for, has been beautiful. All I needed to do was connect to my soul. Carissa isn’t imposing, she doesn’t show me the path… she helps me find my own truth. I feel unstoppable.
Every session leads to a profound feeling of connecting to a part of self that I didn’t know existed. And it’s an ongoing process of deepening in myself.
