Cari's School

I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. My childhood was stable. I felt loved and supported. I had both parents, a sister, a large home, family close by and a yearly holiday to the mountains. I did what my parents and church taught me, as that was all I knew. Life seemed fine and I was well on my way by 20 years old to be married, buy a house and raise a family. That was what I was groomed for. By the time I was 26, I had divorce papers in my hand. The world as I knew it and as it was ‘suppose to be’ crashed before my eyes. The beliefs that were engrained into my brain since I was a child, no longer made sense to me. What was suppose to be a loving accepting supportive church family withdrew their arms and made me out to be wrong. My friends fell away, my family was embarrassed and my finances were dreadful. I was left alone and felt a massive disconnection of not knowing who I was anymore or who I even could be. Life was instantly hard. I didn’t care to be here. I had very little. Everything hurt and was confusing. This was not what I thought my life was suppose to be like. I felt like I was losing my mind and knew I needed help. I was taught that I have a Saviour but learned very quickly that one must save oneself. I found a counsellor whom I spend a year with. She gradually showed me that I wasn’t my parents’ beliefs. I wasn’t my marriage. I wasn’t my upbringing. She helped me find Me! I didn’t even know there was more to me and to life than what I was shown and taught by my upbringing. Turns out, I had all the power and tools I needed to create a life I wanted. I had to go within and to explore what I really wanted. With gentle guidance for over a year, my life was re-formed. I found myself. Each day I grew stronger in knowing what I enjoyed and how to heal from a life that I thought was forever. The entire experience took me from a life of barely surviving to enjoyment and thriving. It connected me with the greatest gift ever, and that was the ability to find the core of ME. Since those dark nights of the soul, I went on to learn spiritual healing and teachings through Reiki, Medical Intuition, Meditation and Life Coaching. I can safely say I am a lifelong learner and teacher. I have authored a couple books, spoke at a few gatherings and seminars and led retreats in Canada and the USA. I love helping people find more of who they are. We all deserve that in this life!
