What Educators & Event Organizers Are Saying About Dr. Carla

“Dr. Carla did an excellent job and led a great discussion about empowering our young ladies to not allow society to put these pressures on us about what beauty really is. If you’re looking for a speaker or presenter to really inspire and encourage young ladies or women in general, please consider Dr. Carla for your next event.”

“We’ve had very positive feedback…The workshops were outstanding…If you’re considering hiring Dr. Carla to come and work with girls or the professionals in your life, I would highly recommend it.”

“The JLMC was excited to bring Dr. Carla in to participate in three workshops.  Our first was educating the members of the JLMC in coaching and mentoring young girls. The second workshop was for community organizations who serve girls.  She was able to teach them new skills and strategies on how to better serve that population.  And our final workshop was for parents and caregivers.

Dr. Carla is a natural fit for the JLMC and the workshops were met with great success. We’ve had very positive feedback from our membership as well as from the girl-serving providers in our community. Clearly, this was a hot topic for them and they were able to exchange ideas and share stories and talk and collaborate about how to move forward in a better capacity.

The evening workshop for parents and caregivers was outstanding.  Parents were taught strategies on how to communicate with their children as well as open up the dialogue about social media. If you’re considering hiring Dr. Carla to come and work with girls or the professionals in your life, I would highly recommend it. She is easy to work with, she delivers a clear and concise message, people are happy to engage with her and she is happy to engage back with them. She’s an excellent communicator and sharer of knowledge.”

– Kelly Boyer, President, Junior League of Monmouth County, NJ

What Young Women Are Saying About Dr. Carla

“If you’re thinking about hiring Dr. Carla to coach you, I would encourage you to seize the opportunity. You are worthy of the self-acceptance and success Dr. Carla can help you achieve!”

“I met Dr. Carla during my first year as a PhD student, when she was a featured alum speaker at the University of Michigan. When I sat down with Dr. Carla during our coaching session, I had every intention of asking her appropriately professional questions- but all I could think about was challenges in my personal life and how they were distracting me from my studies.

Luckily, I felt comfortable opening up to Dr. Carla about how I was really feeling. She was able to validate and normalize my experience, affirming that while personal and family hardships are difficult, I deserved to focus on myself and succeed in my PhD program.

Today, I am a faculty member with PhD students of my own, and I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Carla for the kindness, wisdom, and coaching she offered me during such a vulnerable time. I try to bring that same compassion, encouragement, and human-centeredness to my own mentoring. We might be passionate researchers, practitioners, and advocates but we are not robots—we come with health challenges, family emergencies, and other human experiences.

If you’re thinking about hiring Dr. Carla to coach you, I would encourage you to seize the opportunity. You are worthy of the self-acceptance and success Dr. Carla can help you achieve!” – Dr. Liz Mosley, Atlanta, GA

What Teen Girls Are Saying About Dr. Carla

“You helped us because you actually spoke to us and not at us. You got on our level and helped us and you’re flawless to us because we can look up to you now.”

Dr. Carla and Fanta at her graduation from Lycee Francais de New York

“While I was coaching with Dr. Carla, I got into my dream college in Montreal, Canada, graduated from Lycee Francais de New York, and passed my Baccalauréat exam with a magna cum laude mention. I would not have been able to accomplish all of my goals without her help!”

Where were you in your life before coaching with Dr. Carla?

Before coaching with Dr. Carla, I was a senior in high school and under a lot of academic stress and also dealing with self-criticism, self-confidence and self-esteem issues. I was being mean to myself and didn’t realize that I was standing in the way of my own success. I wanted a coach because I wanted an adult other than my Mom to be there for me when I have a problem.

How did you hear about Dr. Carla?

I heard about Dr. Carla through my mom. She searched online and found her.

Describe your experience coaching with Dr. Carla

Coaching with Dr. Carla is amazing! I Skype all the time w/friends so video coaching with Dr. Carla feels normal. It also helped that I met Dr. Carla in person in Manhattan for our first coaching session because it didn’t feel like I was Skyping with a stranger. Sometimes it is intense and I get emotional, but it is the kind of intensity that I need to be able to grow and move forward.

What results did you achieve while coaching with Dr. Carla?

After 6 months of coaching with Dr. Carla, I am more laid back and not as stressed out or jumping to conclusions as quickly as before. I am also noticing when I start to think negatively and I am able to shift to positive thinking and believing more in myself. During my coaching with Dr. Carla, I got into my dream college in Montreal, Canada, graduated from Lycée Français de New York, and passed my Baccalauréat exam with a magna cum laude mention. I would not have been able to accomplish all of my goals without her help!

Dr. Carla taught me how to get organized and work with a study schedule that we created together. I improved my study skills and learned how to deal with conflict with my mom and how to deal with disappointment and rejection without getting as upset and stressed out as I used to. It is nice to have someone to talk to about my anxieties and worries about the Baccalauréat exam. I was overwhelmed and Dr. Carla helped me create a study strategy that really helped me.

What was the biggest lesson learned from coaching with Dr. Carla?

The best part about coaching with Dr. Carla is learning how to deal with my limiting beliefs. That was the breaking point and it made me stare right into the face of the problem. I noticed that all of the things I felt were wrong in her life were really the result of the negative story I was telling myself about them. I am much happier now that I have learned how to focus on everything I have to feel grateful for. Dr. Carla helped me realize that I can decide how to react to certain situations that are out of my control.

Would you recommend Dr. Carla’s coaching programs to other young women and parents?

Yes, I would recommend coaching with Dr. Carla because I am really seeing how much I changed over the past 6 months and I love the results. I know that with time, I will continue to get better. To see so much positive growth and improvement in my life is like, wow! If you’re not sure about coaching with Dr. Carla, just try it and see. Don’t be afraid to take a risk because at the end it’s really worth it!

What’s the most important thing people should know about coaching with Dr. Carla?

It doesn’t feel like Dr. Carla is just my coach because she is really invested in me. She’s not just doing her job – it’s much more than that. I love knowing that I can reach out to Dr. Carla in between sessions and she will be there for me. Coaching with Dr. Carla is not always serious. We talk about serious stuff but we also laugh and have fun!

What Parents Are Saying About Coaching With Dr. Carla

Dr. Carla with Fanta and her mother at the Lycee Francais de New York 2013 graduation ceremony

“Over the past six months, I have observed big achievements and success…My daughter is more self-aware, has a more positive attitude, and is much more organized and better at managing stress…If you are thinking about coaching with Dr. Carla, I can assure you that the investment in your daughter’s happiness and future success is priceless!”

What were your daughter’s biggest challenges before coaching with Dr. Carla?

Before coaching with Dr. Carla, my 17-year-old daughter was fearful of success and worried about her future and what’s coming next after high school. She was very stressed out and struggled with time management and unstable self-esteem. I searched online for a teen success coach and felt comfortable about hiring Dr. Carla to help my daughter build confidence, try new things, manage stress, and improve her grades after our initial phone consultation.

For our first session, Dr. Carla met with us in Manhattan, which helped my daughter feel more comfortable about long distance video coaching. Her warm and engaging presence, combined with her high level of compassion, attentiveness, professionalism, and knowledge about teen girls let me know that we were in good hands. Dr. Carla used a variety of approaches and techniques to help my daughter learn how to deal with stress and disappointment with great sensitivity. She also taught her valuable life and academic skills, including how to create and stick with a study plan for her Baccalauréat exam.

What results did your daughter achieve while coaching with Dr. Carla?

After only a few weeks of coaching, I noticed that my daughter was taking more responsibility for herself and much more in tune with her feminine power. Over the past six months, I have observed big achievements and success. My daughter is more self-aware, has a more positive attitude, and is doing a better job of controlling her emotions when she is stressed out or thinking negatively. She is much more organized and better at managing stress, which helps her from becoming overwhelmed. As a single mother, I feel relieved from the entire weight of dealing with my daughter alone because I know that she can talk to Dr. Carla when she is struggling with a challenge or disappointment, especially when I am out of town.

Overall, the coaching has been very successful. While coaching with Dr. Carla, my daughter graduated with honors from a prestigious private school, earned her high school diploma and was admitted into her dream university. We are both thrilled that she achieved her goal of passing her Baccalauréat exam with a magna cum laude mention. She is also showing much more responsibility in her personal life. She is more in tune with herself and gaining back core skills that she exhibited during childhood. I have observed huge progress in terms of her body image. She is more accepting of herself, proud of her body, and feels that she is beautiful for the first time since was a little girl.

What is the most important thing parents and girls should know about coaching with Dr. Carla?

Investing in coaching for your daughter is like partnering with a professional ally who is devoted to helping you empower her. Dr. Carla actively listens to your daughter and provides feedback and accountability that helps her develop solutions to her challenges. Issues to be worked on are discussed in advance and when new issues emerge, the coaching plan is revised to adjust to the new needs and priorities. Getting your daughter coached by Dr. Carla is an active way to get a neutral and engaged ally in accelerating her self growth and self development to her fullest potential.

Would you recommend Dr. Carla’s coaching services to other parents?

I am pleased with Dr. Carla’s life-changing coaching program and have recommended her services to my colleagues without reservation. She has treated us like a priority and is highly attentive to our needs and concerns. When I have questions or concerns about my daughter, she provides helpful advice and resources.

My daughter looks forward to her regular coaching sessions and we are excited about continuing our coaching with Dr. Carla during my daughter’s first year away at college. I view Dr. Carla as a necessary partner in my daughter’s education and success.

What would you say to a parent who is undecided about hiring Dr. Carla?

If you are thinking about coaching with Dr. Carla, I can assure you that the investment in your daughter’s happiness and future success is priceless!

What Women Are Saying About Dr. Carla’s Business Mentoring Programs

“I sold my first signature package at 4 times what I was used to charging one day after my private coaching session with Dr. Carla and I got paid up front in full!!

“Coaching with Dr. Carla has been amazing! We worked together to create new high-end coaching packages at higher fees that maximized all of my skills and added a fun twist to what I was already doing.

Before enrolling in Dr. Carla’s Business Academy, I had been looking for someone to give me guidance for awhile because I felt like I had been kind of dabbling in this business for about 6 months. I had developed my website and now I’m rethinking everything, which is awesome because I kind of went into this not knowing exactly what I was doing, but I thought I did.

I was looking for someone and I just kind of came across Carla and she was doing exactly what I want to be doing. I know there are a lot of other life coaches and speakers out there, but none of them were actually working with girls and I think it’s a very different than working with adults. I was looking for that person that was doing what I was doing so that I would be in good hands. When I came across Carla and we had a great phone conversation, I just knew it was the perfect fit.

Money is a major factor that I know that many women are probably thinking about, but you’re investing in yourself. It’s the best thing you can do and you’re going to come out of this program with a much stronger business and with a lot more opportunities instead of wasting a lot of time and energy because you don’t have the support that you need to make sure that you’re making the right decisions and doing things the best and quickest ways possible to get results to take you to the next level.

If this is really what you want to do and this is really where you heart is leading you, then you need to do it! Just jump in with two feet and go for it and you will not be disappointed. We would be so excited to have a few more ladies in the program. It would be absolutely wonderful.

Put yourself first and just do it, so if you’re teeter tottering, just jump in and do it because you can think that it might be better next year, but the program may not be around and just think of where you can be next year instead of trying to do everything on your own and starting over from scratch again. You’re going to accomplish so much more by the first of the year if you just jump in and do it!“
