Meet Carolyn - Holistic Coach and Healer

Cancer. It is a word no one wants to hear, yet it became part of my story in 2020.  This diagnosis accelerated my commitment to living a life of holistic wellbeing - a journey that began in 2017. At that time, I felt stuck in a corporate career and yearned to make a greater impact. My search for purpose set me on a path of transformation.

After more than 25 years in the corporate world, I took a leap of faith and enrolled in a life coaching certification program. I believed that rewiring my mindset was essential for lasting transformation. This exploration introduced me to energy healing and awakened a deep curiosity about my own healing gifts.

The journey began with a trip to Arizona.  Immersing myself in nature, hiking the canyons, and practicing yoga, healthy eating, and meditation sparked a profound spiritual awakening. While I didn’t know exactly where the path would lead, I trusted I was moving in the right direction.

The next two years brought immense challenges - losses that included both my parents, my brother Michael’s stroke, my brother Ron’s heart attack, and my brother John’s suicide. I also faced unresolved grief from the loss of my first-born son, Ian, in 1998. By embracing energy healing, I began to release long-buried trauma rooted in fear, sadness, and anger.

Through this process, I discovered the power of heart-healing. Learning to truly feel and understand what was happening within my body transformed my relationship with stress and gave me the strength to challenge old beliefs. As I leaned into my gift of clairsentience, I used it as a compass to guide my journey.

When I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in 2020, the connection between mind, body, and spirit became undeniable. This experience led me to question long-held beliefs about health and healing, explore natural alternatives, and adopt practices like Reiki, meditation, and gratitude into my daily routine.

I also learned to embrace life’s flow rather than trying to control every outcome. This mindset shift inspired me to relocate to Florida, trusting the right community would find me - and it did!

A Life of Purpose

In 2022, I founded Ocean Sands Wellness, LLC to help others discover their own healing potential. Combining mindset coaching with therapies like Reiki, massage, craniosacral therapy, and lymphatic drainage, I offer a holistic approach to managing stress, pain, supporting connection to mind-body-spirit.

Today, I am deeply grateful for my healing gifts and the opportunity to guide others on their own transformative journeys. I believe we all possess the innate ability to heal ourselves by learning to truly listen to our bodies.

“My mission is to create a sanctuary where individuals can reconnect with themselves and embrace holistic healing. Through this work, I continue to honor my own journey while living a life in service to others.”
