Hello, I am Carina.
I am a professional health and life coach.
My special interest is to work with woman who wants to be the happiest and healthiest version of themselves, despite the challenges that life has to throw at them. I know it is difficult to maintain a healthy balance or to feel grounded when life is tough with many balls in the air. We lose ourselves amongst so many priorities and responsibilities that we forget what is really important to us. Maybe your life did not turn out the way you wanted it to be, or you lost your identity somewhere down the line, or happiness just stays a moving target for you. I have learned, if you don’t change something, nothing will change.
You are unique and your version of where you are and where you want to be will be unique. I can help you in person or on-line does not matter where you are in the world.

Testimonials
“Carina has such a calming presence that made it easy to share concerns and be vulnerable in her presence. She was not at all judgmental and took the time to understand any fear and insecurities I projected. I certainly learned a lot about balancing my meals properly. She guided me in determining what my values and vision in life is. Carina has shown me how to prioritize what’s important to me and how to plan my health journey in a way that suits me.
I would highly recommend this journey to others. It has made me feel healthier and happier (both mentally and physically) and has motivated me to get back on track and live a balanced lifestyle. I am so grateful for Carina’s help and making it feel effortless. The program has justified my own feelings about healthy living in that no diets are necessary when following a balanced achievable health plan.”

“Personally, it helped me to set clear boundaries with my family, colleagues and friends. You helped me to set clear goals for my health, fitness and mental wellbeing. I will definitely continue with the good practices that I have learned during our sessions. You have helped me to boost my confidence levels in all aspects of my life. I know that all your clients will definitely benefit from you as their coach”

“Carina, thank you! You made a HUGE difference in a very short period of time. You understand that weight loss is not just about a diet, but that the person in front of you struggles with a lot more in life. You were perfect in helping me to see things differently and to lose my weight effortlessly. You kept me motivated and I was amazed that I reached my weight loss goals in only 4 weeks. It is my hope, with your gift, that you will help and make a difference in the lives of many more people to come.”

“With the help of Carina, I came to view my weight loss journey as a lifestyle change rather than just losing weight. The health coaching program we embarked on in November provided me with new tools and perspectives that served to boost not only my weight loss goals but my overall health. Preparing my vision statement and focusing on my health wheel, in addition with weekly goal setting and accountability, really helped me achieve my goals that I set out for the six-week program. One of which was losing 7kg in 6 weeks. I find this program to be something that I can sustain long term and will continue to utilize moving forward. I was delighted to be part of the program and would highly recommend this experience to family and friends. Thank you so much Carina for all your help and support that you have provided me and giving me the tools to frame a positive narrative for my journey!”

“I will strongly recommend any person to sign up with Carina.
When I started the health coaching journey, I was extremely concerned about my blood sugar levels, cravings, bloating and weight. I was feeling uncomfortable knowing that my lifestyle was not healthy for me. Carina’s coaching approach from the first session was encouraging; nonjudgmental and that allowed me to discover my barriers and limiting beliefs in context of the lifestyle and vision that I had for myself. The knowledge and encouragement she gave me about how to treat my blood sugar problem made a huge positive difference and impact on my life. My cravings disappeared and I have high energy levels, my weight is coming down and I am losing centimeters.
Carina’s positive; non-judgmental, following up and questioning style is of exceptional quality that I and any person can benefit from, to improve health, lose weight, build confidence, and overcome limiting beliefs.
In her coaching she never provided me with the answers or lectured me, but rather asked thought-provoking questions to allow me to discover my own solutions. She also helped me to think differently about weight loss. Instead of counting calories and think restriction, I have shifted now to a mindset of healthy living, knowing that weight loss will be a result. I am making more mindful food choices, following the balanced plate principles and devote more time to myself. I feel calmer and confident, and is motivated to continue with this lifestyle that I have integrated into my daily life.”
